The top AI news from the past week, every ThursdAI

LET'S GO! Happy second birthday to ThursdAI, your favorite weekly AI news show! Can you believe it's been two whole years since we jumped into that random Twitter Space to rant about GPT-4? From humble beginnings as a late-night Twitter chat to a full-blown podcast, Newsletter and YouTube show with hundreds of thousands of downloads, it's been an absolutely wild ride! That's right, two whole years of me, Alex Volkov, your friendly AI Evangelist, along with my amazing co-hosts, trying to keep you up-to-date on the breakneck speed of the AI worldAnd what better way to celebrate than with a week PACKED with insane AI news? Buckle up, folks, because this week Google went OPEN SOURCE crazy, Gemini got even cooler, OpenAI created a whole new Agents SDK and the open-source community continues to blow our minds. We've got it all - from game-changing model releases to mind-bending demos.This week I'm also on the Weights & Biases company retreat, so TL;DR first and then the newsletter, but honestly, I'll start embedding the live show here in the substack from now on, because we're getting so good at it, I barely have to edit lately and there's a LOT to show you guys! TL;DR and Show Notes & Links* Hosts & Guests* Alex Volkov - AI Eveangelist & Weights & Biases (@altryne)* Co Hosts - @WolframRvnwlf @ldjconfirmed @nisten * Sandra Kublik - DevRel at Cohere (@itsSandraKublik)* Open Source LLMs * Google open sources Gemma 3 - 1B - 27B - 128K context (Blog, AI Studio, HF)* EuroBERT - multilingual encoder models (210M to 2.1B params)* Reka Flash 3 (reasoning) 21B parameters is open sourced (Blog, HF)* Cohere Command A 111B model - 256K context (Blog)* Nous Research Deep Hermes 24B / 3B Hybrid Reasoners (X, HF)* AllenAI OLMo 2 32B - fully open source GPT4 level model (X, Blog, Try It)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* Gemini Flash generates images natively (X, AI Studio)* Google deep research is now free in Gemini app and powered by Gemini Thinking (Try It no cost)* OpenAI released new responses API, Web Search, File search and Computer USE tools (X, Blog)* This weeks Buzz * The whole company is at an offsite at oceanside, CA* W&B internal MCP hackathon and had cool projects - launching an MCP server soon!* Vision & Video* Remade AI - 8 LORA video effects for WANX (HF)* AI Art & Diffusion & 3D* ByteDance Seedream 2.0 - A Native Chinese-English Bilingual Image Generation Foundation Model by ByteDance (Blog, Paper)* Tools* Everyone's talking about Manus - (manus.im)* Google AI studio now supports youtube understanding via link droppingOpen Source LLMs: Gemma 3, EuroBERT, Reka Flash 3, and Cohere Command-A Unleashed!This week was absolutely HUGE for open source, folks. Google dropped a BOMBSHELL with Gemma 3! As Wolfram pointed out, this is a "very technical achievement," and it's not just one model, but a whole family ranging from 1 billion to 27 billion parameters. And get this – the 27B model can run on a SINGLE GPU! Sundar Pichai himself claimed you'd need "at least 10X compute to get similar performance from other models." Insane!Gemma 3 isn't just about size; it's packed with features. We're talking multimodal capabilities (text, images, and video!), support for over 140 languages, and a massive 128k context window. As Nisten pointed out, "it might actually end up being the best at multimodal in that regard" for local models. Plus, it's fine-tuned for safety and comes with ShieldGemma 2 for content moderation. You can grab Gemma 3 on Google AI Studio, Hugging Face, Ollama, Kaggle – everywhere! Huge shoutout to Omar Sanseviero and the Google team for this incredible release and for supporting the open-source community from day one! Colin aka Bartowski, was right, "The best thing about Gemma is the fact that Google specifically helped the open source communities to get day one support." This is how you do open source right!Next up, we have EuroBERT, a new family of multilingual encoder models. Wolfram, our European representative, was particularly excited about this one: "In European languages, you have different characters than in other languages. And, um, yeah, encoding everything properly is, uh, difficult." Ranging from 210 million to 2.1 billion parameters, EuroBERT is designed to push the boundaries of NLP in European and global languages. With training on a massive 5 trillion-token dataset across 15 languages and support for 8K context tokens, EuroBERT is a workhorse for RAG and other NLP tasks. Plus, how cool is their mascot?Reka Flash 3 - a 21B reasoner with apache 2 trained with RLOOAnd the open source train keeps rolling! Reka AI dropped Reka Flash 3, a 21 billion parameter reasoning model with an Apache 2.0 license! Nisten was blown away by the benchmarks: "This might be one of the best like 20B size models that there is right now. And it's Apache 2.0. Uh, I, I think this is a much bigger deal than most people realize." Reka Flash 3 is compact, efficient, and excels at chat, coding, instruction following, and function calling. They even used a new reinforcement learning technique called REINFORCE Leave One-Out (RLOO). Go give it a whirl on Hugging Face or their chat interface – chat.reka.ai!Last but definitely not least in the open-source realm, we had a special guest, Sandra (@itsSandraKublik) from Cohere, join us to announce Command-A! This beast of a model clocks in at 111 BILLION parameters with a massive 256K context window. Sandra emphasized its efficiency, "It requires only two GPUs. Typically the models of this size require 32 GPUs. So it's a huge, huge difference." Command-A is designed for enterprises, focusing on agentic tasks, tool use, and multilingual performance. It's optimized for private deployments and boasts enterprise-grade security. Congrats to Sandra and the Cohere team on this massive release!Big CO LLMs + APIs: Gemini Flash Gets Visual, Deep Research Goes Free, and OpenAI Builds for AgentsThe big companies weren't sleeping either! Google continued their awesome week by unleashing native image generation in Gemini Flash Experimental! This is seriously f*****g cool, folks! Sorry for my French, but it's true. You can now directly interact with images, tell Gemini what to do, and it just does it. We even showed it live on the stream, turning ourselves into cat-confetti-birthday-hat-wearing masterpieces! Wolfram was right, "It's also a sign what we will see in, like, Photoshop, for example. Where you, you expect to just talk to it and have it do everything that a graphic designer would be doing." The future of creative tools is HERE.And guess what else Google did? They made Deep Research FREE in the Gemini app and powered by Gemini Thinking! Nisten jumped in to test it live, and we were all impressed. "This is the nicest interface so far that I've seen," he said. Deep Research now digs through HUNDREDS of websites (Nisten's test hit 156!) to give you comprehensive answers, and the interface is slick and user-friendly. Plus, you can export to Google Docs! Intelligence too cheap to meter? Google is definitely pushing that boundary.Last second additions - Allen Institute for AI released OLMo 2 32B - their biggest open model yetJust as I'm writing this, friend of the pod, Nathan from Allen Institute for AI announced the release of a FULLY OPEN OLMo 2, which includes weights, code, dataset, everything and apparently it beats the latest GPT 3.5, GPT 4o mini, and leading open weight models like Qwen and Mistral. Evals look legit, but nore than that, this is an Apache 2 model with everything in place to advance open AI and open science! Check out Nathans tweet for more info, and congrats to Allen team for this awesome release! OpenAI new responses API and Agent ASK with Web, File and CUA toolsOf course, OpenAI wasn't going to let Google have all the fun. They dropped a new SDK for agents called the Responses API. This is a whole new way to build with OpenAI, designed specifically for the agentic era we're entering. They also released three new tools: Web Search, Computer Use Tool, and File Search Tool. The Web Search tool is self-explanatory – finally, built-in web search from OpenAI!The Computer Use Tool, while currently limited in availability, opens up exciting possibilities for agent automation, letting agents interact with computer interfaces. And the File Search Tool gives you a built-in RAG system, simplifying knowledge retrieval from your own files. As always, OpenAI is adapting to the agentic world and giving developers more power.Finally in the big company space, Nous Research released PORTAL, their new Inference API service. Now you can access their awesome models, like Hermes 3 Llama 70B and DeepHermes 3 8B, directly via API. It's great to see more open-source labs offering API access, making these powerful models even more accessible.This Week's Buzz at Weights & Biases: Offsite Hackathon and MCP Mania!This week's "This Week's Buzz" segment comes to you live from Oceanside, California! The whole Weights & Biases team is here for our company offsite. Despite the not-so-sunny California weather (thanks, storm!), it's been an incredible week of meeting colleagues, strategizing, and HACKING!And speaking of hacking, we had an MCP hackathon! After last week's MCP-pilling episode, we were all hyped about Model Context Protocol, and the team didn't disappoint. In just three hours, the innovation was flowing! We saw agents built for WordPress, MCP support integrated into Weave playground, and even MCP servers for Weights & Biases itself! Get ready, folks, because an MCP server for Weights & Biases is COMING SOON! You'll be able to talk to your W&B data like never before. Huge shoutout to the W&B team for their incredible talent and for embracing the agentic future! And in case you missed it, Weights & Biases is now part of the CoreWeave family! Exciting times ahead!Vision & Video: LoRA Video Effects and OpenSora 2.0Moving into vision and video, Remade AI released 8 LoRA video effects for 1X! Remember 1X from Alibaba? Now you can add crazy effects like "squish," "inflate," "deflate," and even "cakeify" to your videos using LoRAs. It's open source and super cool to see video effects becoming trainable and customizable.And in the realm of open-source video generation, OpenSora 2.0 dropped! This 11 billion parameter model claims state-of-the-art video generation trained for just $200,000! They're even claiming performance close to Sora itself on some benchmarks. Nisten checked out the demos, and while we're all a bit jaded now with the rapid pace of video AI, it's still mind-blowing how far we've come. Open source video is getting seriously impressive, seriously fast.AI Art & Diffusion & 3D: ByteDance's Bilingual Seedream 2.0ByteDance, the folks behind TikTok, released Seedream 2.0, a native Chinese-English bilingual image generation foundation model. This model, from ByteDream, excels at text rendering, cultural nuance, and human preference alignment. Seedream 2.0 boasts "powerful general capability," "native bilingual comprehension ability," and "excellent text rendering." It's designed to understand both Chinese and English prompts natively, generating high-quality, culturally relevant images. The examples look stunning, especially its ability to render Chinese text beautifully.Tools: Manus AI Agent, Google AI Studio YouTube Links, and Cursor EmbeddingsFinally, in the tools section, everyone's buzzing about Manus, a new AI research agent. We gave it a try live on the show, asking it to do some research. The UI is slick, and it seems to be using Claude 3.7 behind the scenes. Manus creates a to-do list, browses the web in a real Chrome browser, and even generates files. It's like Operator on steroids. We'll be keeping an eye on Manus and will report back on its performance in future episodes.And Google AI Studio keeps getting better! Now you can drop YouTube links into Google AI Studio, and it will natively understand the video! This is HUGE for video analysis and content understanding. Imagine using this for support, content summarization, and so much more.PHEW! What a week to celebrate two years of ThursdAI! From open source explosions to Gemini's visual prowess and OpenAI's agentic advancements, the AI world is moving faster than ever. As Wolfram aptly put it, "The acceleration, you can feel it." And Nisten reminded us of the incredible journey, "I remember I had early access to GPT-4 32K, and, uh, then... the person for the contract that had given me access, they cut it off because on the one weekend, I didn't realize how expensive it was. So I had to use $180 worth of tokens just trying it out." Now, we have models that are more powerful and more accessible than ever before. Thank you to Wolfram, Nisten, and LDJ for co-hosting and bringing their insights every week. And most importantly, THANK YOU to our amazing community for tuning in, listening, and supporting ThursdAI for two incredible years! We couldn't do it without you. Here's to another year of staying up-to-date so YOU don't have to! Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, YouTube channel, and newsletter to stay in the loop.

För exakt 100 år sedan sändes det första radioprogrammet i Sveriges Radio och det var en gudstjänst. Det firas idag med en gudstjänst från Storkyrkan i Stockholm, med biskop Andreas Holmberg som predikant. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. 1 januari 1925 gjorde det nybildade AB Radiotjänst sin första sändning – en gudstjänst. På den tiden var det så att sändarna inte täckte hela Sverige, utan det fanns fyra sändare, i Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö och Boden. Dessa sändare nådde ut cirka 10 mil. Och den allra första gudstjänsten från Radiotjänst var egentligen två - det sändes samtidigt från St Jakobs kyrka i Stockholm och från St Petri kyrka i Malmö. Åren därefter sändes det ut radiogudstjänster från de (ganska få) kyrkor där det då fanns sändarutrustning. Man sände både från Svenska kyrkan och från frikyrkor och det sändes både för- och eftermiddag på söndagarna. Om detta samtalar radioveteranen Claes Hollander och producenten Katarina Josephsson på plats i St Jakobs kyrka i inledningen av dagens gudstjänst.Gudstjänsten från Storkyrkan i Stockholm är en nyårsgudstjänst under rubriken I Jesu namn, en gemensam gudstjänst för alla församlingar på Stadsholmen, dvs Storkyrkoförsamlingen, Hovförsamlingen, Finska församlingen och Tyska församlingen. Samtidigt som Sveriges Radio (och radiogudstjänsten) firar sitt hundraårsjubileum firas även hundraårsjubileet av det ekumeniska möte i Storkyrkan som biskop Nathan Söderblom tog initiativ till 1925.Medverkande:Biskop Andreas Holmberg: predikanDomkyrkolektor Sabina Koij: liturgGary Graden: sångMattias Wager: orgelRobert Schött, Minna Huhkamo, Jörg Weissbach, Mariana Klingspor, Marie Schött: läsning och bönClaes Hollander, Katarina Josephsson och domprost Jonas Eek: samtal om gudstjänstenTexter: Hebréerbrevet 13:5-8Lukas 13:5-9Musik:SvPs 716 Namnet Jesus aldrig mister (D Welander/zulumelodi)Hear My Prayer (M Hogan)O Blessed Spring (R Buckley FarleeSvPs 39 Jesus från Nasaret (A Frostenson/G Nordqvist)Vi räcker våra händer fram (T Kverno)SvPs 48 Vilken vän vi har i JesusProducent Katarina JosephssonTekniker Björn Söderholm, May-Britt Rylanderliv@sverigesradio.se

Nathans offers a deep dive into the history of Soviet dissent, tracing the courageous efforts of Soviet citizens who risked everything to challenge the system from within, spanning from Stalin's death to the collapse of communism. By invoking the very laws of the Kremlin, these dissidents exposed the regime's internal contradictions, playing a pivotal role in its eventual downfall. The discussion focuses on key figures in this movement, from well-known Nobel laureates like Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn to lesser-known but equally vital contributors. Nathans also touches on the broader implications of their struggles for modern authoritarian societies today. Benjamin Nathans, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is a distinguished expert in Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, Jewish history, and the history of human rights.

The Hoover History Lab and Hoover Institution Library & Archives held a special hybrid event with Benjamin Nathans, introduced by Stephen Kotkin, as he launched his latest book To The Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement. Beginning in the 1960s, the Soviet Union was unexpectedly confronted by a dissident movement that captured the world's imagination. Demanding that the Kremlin obey its own laws, an improbable band of Soviet citizens held unauthorized public gatherings, petitioned in support of arrested intellectuals, and circulated banned samizdat texts. Soviet authorities arrested dissidents, subjected them to bogus trials and vicious press campaigns, sentenced them to psychiatric hospitals and labor camps, sent them into exile—and transformed them into martyred heroes. Against all odds, the dissident movement undermined the Soviet system and unexpectedly hastened its collapse. Taking its title from a toast made at dissident gatherings, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause (Princeton, 2024) is a definitive history of a remarkable group of people who helped change the twentieth century. Learn more about the book. This hybrid talk with Benjamin Nathans, with an introduction by Stephen Kotkin, took place in the Shultz Auditorium at the Hoover Institution on the Stanford University campus at 4:30 pm PT. ​About the Speakers Benjamin Nathans Alan Charles Kors Endowed Term Associate Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania Stephen Kotkin Kleinheinz Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution; Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs

Drawing on diaries, memoirs, personal letters, interviews, and KGB interrogation records, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause reveals how dissidents decided to use Soviet law to contain the power of the Soviet state. This strategy, as one of them put it, was "simple to the point of genius: in an unfree country, they began to conduct themselves like free people." An extraordinary account of the Soviet dissident movement, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause shows how dissidents spearheaded the struggle to break free of the USSR's totalitarian past, a struggle that continues in Putin's Russia--and that illuminates other struggles between hopelessness and perseverance today.

Join us on this groundbreaking episode as we delve into the fascinating and controversial world of Nitric Oxide with Nathan Bryan PhD, the foremost expert on all things related to this powerful molecule. Dr. Bryan has dedicated his career to understanding Nitric Oxide, a signaling molecule produced naturally by our bodies yet also found as a toxic free radical in industrial pollution.In this episode, Dr. Bryan tackles the dual nature of Nitric Oxide – exploring its life-saving cardiovascular benefits while addressing its potential toxic threats. He discusses the molecule's significant role in our health and well-being, revealing how it functions as a double-edged sword.We dive deep into the latest research that suggests Nitric Oxide could be a miracle drug for cognitive function and mental health. Dr. Bryan shares insights into how declining Nitric Oxide production contributes to age-related diseases and what new treatments are on the horizon to mitigate these effects.The conversation takes a surprising turn as we explore the role of nicotine, often considered a neuroprotective agent, in modulating Nitric Oxide levels. Dr. Bryan provides an expert analysis of whether nicotine's rising popularity in the anti-aging community is warranted or misguided.Dr. Bryan emphasizes the importance of diet and lifestyle in maintaining optimal Nitric Oxide levels.

Superman - arguably the Joey Chestnut of Superheroes - is marred by a dark open-secret that haunts all those who wear the cape onscreen...or so the legend goes.Is the "Superman Curse" real or just a self-fulfilling prophecy? Since fellow Missourian James Gunn is poised to bring a fresh take on the Big Blue Boyscout, we thought we'd challenge the myth by examining the careers of actors like Brandon Routh, and Tom Welling plus give advice for compensating Dean Cain. Ready to uncover the mysteries behind one of Hollywood's most notorious legends? Let's unravel the eerie tales that form the "Superman Curse." From the financial and personal hardships faced by Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, to the tragic fates of George Reeves and Christopher Reeve, we explore how the Man of Steel's shadow looms large over those who have brought him to life. Join us as we dissect how Superman's original mission to combat social injustice has been misinterpreted by modern filmmakers, turning him into a Christ-like figure, and how this shift has impacted the actors who have donned the cape.The stories get darker as we delve into the real-life struggles of actors like Christopher Reeve, whose career was dramatically altered by a tragic equestrian accident, and Margot Kidder, who faced numerous personal battles but dismissed the curse outright. We also touch on the tragic end of Lee Quigley, the infant Clark Kent, and look at how these stories have shaped the narrative of a so-called curse. Through these anecdotes, we uncover the broader implications of this urban legend on Hollywood and the careers of those graced and cursed by the Superman franchise.As we wrap up, we reflect on the cultural impact of superhero narratives on younger audiences, pondering whether the curse is merely a myth or a cautionary tale for those who dare to wear the iconic "S." Join us for an episode filled with hot takes on the darkest corner of the Superman Legacy.

On January 14th 2014, Nathan Maddox and his wife Crystal Maddox were walking into a Saturday service with Nathans 5 year-old daughter Maddie, at the Mt. Caramel baptist church. This specific day was going to be Nathans last supervised visitation visit with his daughter Maddie. For the past few years there had been a brutal and messy custody battle between Nathan and his ex-wife Kristen Westfall. Kristen had tried taking Maddie away from Nathan multiple times even though Kristen was proven time and time again to not be mentally fit to be a mother. Kristen enjoyed being in control of Nathan and so when Nathan and Crystal had raised enough money for good lawyers and won visitation rights, this sent Kristen into a rage. And on January 14th, 2014 as Nathan and Crystal were walking out of church service, both were shot dead in the parking lot. Police's main suspect was Kristen, but during her interrogation, police would realize, that Kristen didn't work alone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
