Podcasts about Sota

Esta semana traigo un episodio con mucha actividad y mucho terreno recorrido, en todos los sentidos. Empezamos con el evento SOTA en VHF FM, una propuesta que une montaña y radio de forma sencilla y accesible. Hablamos con Julio EA1FTW, que nos da consejos prácticos para movernos por el monte con seguridad, con Ignacio EA2BD, alma mater del evento, y con otros compañeros que nos cuentan por qué participarán y cómo lo preparan. Nos vamos también al ejercicio GRT, donde EA3HIG comparte su experiencia participando en este simulacro de comunicaciones de emergencia, que pone a prueba nuestras capacidades… y también nuestras estaciones. Y para cerrar, nos trasladamos al MercaHam 2025 en Cerdanyola del Vallès, de la mano de EA6APJ, que nos deja una crónica personal sobre lo vivido, lo escuchado… y lo que se trajo de vuelta en la mochila. ¿Nos apoyas para que podamos seguir haciendo este podcast?

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event. This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go? We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!! Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!! Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar! With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983! Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar. This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think.... There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?! Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores! Also, as mentioned in this ep; be sure to checkout the incredibly comprehensive website from Avon Fox - around all the Vintage style Transforming Robots that aren't Hasbro branded! - www.the-liberator.netSupport the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The electric buzz of anticipation filled the air as we stepped into the venue, determined not to miss our chance at BE:FIRST merch. What followed was a night of pure magic as the seven-member Japanese pop group delivered an unforgettable performance in New York City.Standing in the merchandise line, screens displaying the concert's opening let us witness the explosive start with "Mainstream" – a perfect opener that set the tone for the night. When we finally entered the main space, what struck us immediately was how different this fan experience felt from other concerts. The crowd created a welcoming atmosphere that felt less like attending a show and more like friends gathering to enjoy music together.Each member brought their distinct personality to the stage through both performance and fashion choices. Ryoki embodied his "bad boy" image in dark green with a cap, while Ryuhei caught every eye in sparkly hot pink. Junon's fluid, graceful movements contrasted with Sota's powerful dance breaks, showcasing the group's diverse talents. What truly amazed us was experiencing their individual styles while witnessing flawlessly synchronized choreography.The intimate venue allowed for genuine connections between artists and fans. When members asked where people were from, you could hear individual responses – Boston, Colombia, Brazil, DC – creating moments impossible in stadium settings. We even spotted fans representing other fandoms, including ATINY and ARMY with their light sticks, showing a beautiful cross-fandom support system.What made this concert particularly poignant was knowing it featured all seven members, including Ryoki, who will soon depart the group. During a brief moment addressing fans, he became visibly emotional, simply stating he wants to "live life" – words that resonated deeply with everyone present.For anyone who hasn't experienced BE:FIRST live, we cannot recommend it enough. Their online presence, while impressive, doesn't capture the energy they bring to their live performance. Subscribe now for all our concert experiences and insights on the artists we love!BE:FIRST info: Instagram X YouTube officialSupport the showPlease help Music Elixir by rating, reviewing, and sharing the episode.

Hey folks, this is Alex, coming to you LIVE from the AI Engineer Worlds Fair! What an incredible episode this week, we recorded live from floor 30th at the Marriott in SF, while Yam was doing live correspondence from the floor of the AI Engineer event, all while Swyx, the cohost of Latent Space podcast, and the creator of AI Engineer (both the conference and the concept itself) joined us for the whole stream - here's the edited version, please take a look. We've had around 6500 people tune in, and at some point we got 2 surprise guests, straight from the keynote stage, Logan Kilpatrick (PM for AI Studio and lead cheerleader for Gemini) and Jack Rae (principal scientist working on reasoning) joined us for a great chat about Gemini! Mind was absolutely blown! They have just launched the new Gemini 2.5 Pro and I though it would only be fitting to let their new model cover this podcast this week (so below is fully AI generated ... non slop I hope). The show notes and TL;DR is as always in the end. Okay, enough preamble… let's dive into the madness!

Hey everyone, Alex here

In Facebook, it's easy to see where your audience lives. It's harder to explain why the second and third biggest audiences for our show are not even in the US

There is consensus among SOTA listeners that we don't care for Presidential pardons. But we usually understand why certain people get pardons. Not so with Trump this week.

Why did Trump pardon the Chrissleys? Why are we even still doing pardons? Where are the damn Epstein files already?! What's it really like driving a Cybertruck? Trump and Musk are having a very public breakup (finally); Shout out to the SOTA listeners in West Africa; Fox News floats "punishing" media that didn't cover Biden the right way

In an otherwise heavy week packed with Microsoft Build, Google I/O, and OpenAI io, the worst kept secret in biglab land was the launch of Claude 4, particularly the triumphant return of Opus, which many had been clamoring for. We will leave the specific Claude 4 recap to AINews, however we think that both Gemini's progress on Deep Think this week and Claude 4 represent the next frontier of progress on inference time compute/reasoning (at last until GPT5 ships this summer). Will Brown's talk at AIE NYC and open source work on verifiers have made him one of the most prominent voices able to publicly discuss (aka without the vaguepoasting LoRA they put on you when you join a biglab) the current state of the art in reasoning models and where current SOTA research directions lead. We discussed his latest paper on Reinforcing Multi-Turn Reasoning in LLM Agents via Turn-Level Credit Assignment and he has previewed his AIEWF talk on Agentic RL for those with the temerity to power thru bad meetup audio. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 02:01 Discussion on Cloud 4 and its Features 04:31 Reasoning and Tool Use in AI Models 07:01 Extended Thinking in Claude and Model Differences 09:31 Speculation on Claude's Extended Thinking 11:01 Challenges and Controversies in AI Model Training 13:31 Technical Highlights and Code Trustworthiness 16:01 Token Costs and Incentives in AI Models 18:31 Thinking Budgets and AI Effort 21:01 Safety and Ethics in AI Model Development 23:31 Anthropic's Approach to AI Safety 26:01 LLM Arena and Evaluation Challenges 28:31 Developing Taste and Direction in AI Research 31:01 Recent Research and Multi-Turn RL 33:31 Tools and Incentives in AI Model Development 36:01 Challenges in Evaluating AI Model Outputs 38:31 Model-Based Rewards and Future Directions 41:01 Wrap-up and Future Plans

Hey folks, Alex here, welcome back to ThursdAI! And folks, after the last week was the calm before the storm, "The storm came, y'all" – that's an understatement. This wasn't just a storm; it was an AI hurricane, a category 5 of announcements that left us all reeling (in the best way possible!). From being on the ground at Google I/O to live-watching Anthropic drop Claude 4 during our show, it's been an absolute whirlwind.This week was so packed, it felt like AI Christmas, with tech giants and open-source heroes alike showering us with gifts. We saw OpenAI play their classic pre-and-post-Google I/O chess game, Microsoft make some serious open-source moves, Google unleash an avalanche of updates, and Anthropic crash the party with Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet live stream in the middle of ThursdAI!So buckle up, because we're about to try and unpack this glorious chaos. As always, we're here to help you collectively know, learn, and stay up to date, so you don't have to. Let's dive in! (TL;DR and links in the end) Open Source LLMs Kicking Things OffEven with the titans battling, the open-source community dropped some serious heat this week. It wasn't the main headline grabber, but the releases were significant!Gemma 3n: Tiny But Mighty MatryoshkaFirst up, Google's Gemma 3n. This isn't just another small model; it's a "Nano-plus" preview, a 4-billion parameter MatFormer (Matryoshka Transformer – how cool is that name?) model designed for mobile-first multimodal applications. The really slick part? It has a nested 2-billion parameter sub-model that can run entirely on phones or Chromebooks.Yam was particularly excited about this one, pointing out the innovative "model inside another model" design. The idea is you can use half the model, not depth-wise, but throughout the layers, for a smaller footprint without sacrificing too much. It accepts interleaved text, image, audio, and video, supports ASR and speech translation, and even ships with RAG and function-calling libraries for edge apps. With a 128K token window and responsible AI features baked in, Gemma 3n is looking like a powerful tool for on-device AI. Google claims it beats prior 4B mobile models on MMLU-Lite and MMMU-Mini. It's an early preview in Google AI Studio, but it definitely flies on mobile devices.Mistral & AllHands Unleash Devstral 24BThen we got a collaboration from Mistral and AllHands: Devstral, a 24-billion parameter, state-of-the-art open model focused on code. We've been waiting for Mistral to drop some open-source goodness, and this one didn't disappoint.Nisten was super hyped, noting it beats o3-Mini on SWE-bench verified – a tough benchmark! He called it "the first proper vibe coder that you can run on a 3090," which is a big deal for coders who want local power and privacy. This is a fantastic development for the open-source coding community.The Pre-I/O Tremors: OpenAI & Microsoft Set the StageAs we predicted, OpenAI couldn't resist dropping some news right before Google I/O.OpenAI's Codex Returns as an AgentOpenAI launched Codex – yes, that Codex, but reborn as an asynchronous coding agent. This isn't just a CLI tool anymore; it connects to GitHub, does pull requests, fixes bugs, and navigates your codebase. It's powered by a new coding model fine-tuned for large codebases and was SOTA on SWE Agent when it dropped. Funnily, the model is also called Codex, this time, Codex-1. And this gives us a perfect opportunity to talk about the emerging categories I'm seeing among Code Generator agents and tools:* IDE-based (Cursor, Windsurf): Live pair programming in your editor* Vibe coding (Lovable, Bolt, v0): "Build me a UI" style tools for non-coders* CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex-cli): Terminal-based assistants* Async agents (Claude Code, Jules, Codex, GitHub Copilot agent, Devin): Work on your repos while you sleep, open pull requests for you to review, asyncCodex (this new one) falls into category number 4, and with today's release, Cursor seems to also strive to get to category number 4 with background processing. Microsoft BUILD: Open Source Copilot and Copilot Agent ModeThen came Microsoft Build, their huge developer conference, with a flurry of announcements.The biggest one for me? GitHub Copilot's front-end code is now open source! The VS Code editor part was already open, but the Copilot integration itself wasn't. This is a massive move, likely a direct answer to the insane valuations of VS Code clones like Cursor. Now, you can theoretically clone GitHub Copilot with VS Code and swing for the fences.GitHub Copilot also launched as an asynchronous coding assistant, very similar in function to OpenAI's Codex, allowing it to be assigned tasks and create/update PRs. This puts Copilot right into category 4 of code assistants, and with the native Github Integration, they may actually have a leg up in this race!And if that wasn't enough, Microsoft is adding MCP (Model Context Protocol) support directly into the Windows OS. The implications of having the world's biggest operating system natively support this agentic protocol are huge.Google I/O: An "Ultra" Event Indeed!Then came Tuesday, and Google I/O. I was there in the thick of it, and folks, it was an absolute barrage. Google is shipping. The theme could have been "Ultra" for many reasons, as we'll see.First off, the scale: Google reported a 49x increase in AI usage since last year's I/O, jumping from 9 trillion tokens processed to a mind-boggling 480 trillion tokens. That's a testament to their generous free tiers and the explosion of AI adoption.Gemini 2.5 Pro & Flash: #1 and #2 LLMs on ArenaGemini 2.5 Flash got an update and is now #2 on the LMArena leaderboard (with Gemini 2.5 Pro still holding #1). Both Pro and Flash gained some serious new capabilities:* Deep Think mode: This enhanced reasoning mode is pushing Gemini's scores to new heights, hitting 84% on MMMU and topping LiveCodeBench. It's about giving the model more "time" to work through complex problems.* Native Audio I/O: We're talking real-time TTS in 24 languages with two voices, and affective dialogue capabilities. This is the advanced voice mode we've been waiting for, now built-in.* Project Mariner: Computer-use actions are being exposed via the Gemini API & Vertex AI for RPA partners. This started as a Chrome extension to control your browser and now seems to be a cloud-based API, allowing Gemini to use the web, not just browse it. This feels like Google teaching its AI to interact with the JavaScript-heavy web, much like they taught their crawlers years ago.* Thought Summaries: Okay, here's one update I'm not a fan of. They've switched from raw thinking traces to "thought summaries" in the API. We want the actual traces! That's how we learn and debug.* Thinking Budgets: Previously a Flash-only feature, token ceilings for controlling latency/cost now extend to Pro.* Flash Upgrade: 20-30% fewer tokens, better reasoning/multimodal scores, and GA in early June.Gemini Diffusion: Speed Demon for Code and MathThis one got Yam Peleg incredibly excited. Gemini Diffusion is a new approach, different from transformers, for super-speed editing of code and math tasks. We saw demos hitting 2000 tokens per second! While there might be limitations at longer contexts, its speed and infilling capabilities are seriously impressive for a research preview. This is the first diffusion model for text we've seen from the frontier labs, and it looks sick. Funny note, they had to slow down the demo video to actually show the diffusion process, because at 2000t/s - apps appear as though out of thin air!The "Ultra" Tier and Jules, Google's Coding AgentRemember the "Ultra event" jokes? Well, Google announced a Gemini Ultra tier for $250/month. This tops OpenAI's Pro plan and includes DeepThink access, a generous amount of VEO3 generation, YouTube Premium, and a whopping 30TB of storage. It feels geared towards creators and developers.And speaking of developers, Google launched Jules (jules.google)! This is their asynchronous coding assistant (Category 4!). Like Codex and GitHub Copilot Agent, it connects to your GitHub, opens PRs, fixes bugs, and more. The big differentiator? It's currently free, which might make it the default for many. Another powerful agent joins the fray!AI Mode in Search: GA and EnhancedAI Mode in Google Search, which we've discussed on the show before with Robby Stein, is now in General Availability in the US. This is Google's answer to Perplexity and chat-based search.But they didn't stop there:* Personalization: AI Mode can now connect to your Gmail and Docs (if you opt-in) for more personalized results.* Deep Search: While AI Mode is fast, Deep Search offers more comprehensive research capabilities, digging through hundreds of sources, similar to other "deep research" tools. This will eventually be integrated, allowing you to escalate an AI Mode query for a deeper dive.* Project Mariner Integration: AI Mode will be able to click into websites, check availability for tickets, etc., bridging the gap to an "agentic web."I've had a chat with Robby during I/O and you can listen to that interview at the end of the podcast.Veo3: The Undisputed Star of Google I/OFor me, and many others I spoke to, Veo3 was the highlight. This is Google's flagship video generation model, and it's on another level. (the video above, including sounds is completely one shot generated from VEO3, no processing or editing)* Realism and Physics: The visual quality and understanding of physics are astounding.* Natively Multimodal: This is huge. Veo3 generates native audio, including coherent speech, conversations, and sound effects, all synced perfectly. It can even generate text within videos.* Coherent Characters: Characters remain consistent across scenes and have situational awareness, who speaks when, where characters look.* Image Upload & Reference Ability: While image upload was closed for the demo, it has reference capabilities.* Flow: An editor for video creation using Veo3 and Imagen4 which also launched, allowing for stiching and continuous creation.I got access and created videos where Veo3 generated a comedian telling jokes (and the jokes were decent!), characters speaking with specific accents (Indian, Russian – and they nailed it!), and lip-syncing that was flawless. The situational awareness, the laugh tracks kicking in at the right moment... it's beyond just video generation. This feels like a world simulator. It blew through the uncanny valley for me. More on Veo3 later, because it deserves its own spotlight.Imagen4, Virtual Try-On, and XR Glasses* Imagen4: Google's image generation model also got an upgrade, with extra textual ability.* Virtual Try-On: In Google Shopping, you can now virtually try on clothes. I tried it; it's pretty cool and models different body types well.* XR AI Glasses from Google: Perhaps the coolest, but most futuristic, announcement. AI-powered glasses with an actual screen, memory, and Gemini built-in. You can talk to it, it remembers things for you, and interacts with your environment. This is agentic AI in a very tangible form.Big Company LLMs + APIs: The Beat Goes OnThe news didn't stop with Google.OpenAI (acqui)Hires Jony Ive, Launches "IO" for HardwareThe day after I/O, Sam Altman confirmed that Jony Ive, the legendary designer behind Apple's iconic products, is joining OpenAI. He and his company, LoveFrom, have jointly created a new company called "IO" (yes, IO, just like the conference) which is joining OpenAI in a stock deal reportedly worth $6.5 billion. They're working on a hardware device, unannounced for now, but expected next year. This is a massive statement of intent from OpenAI in the hardware space.Legendary iPhone analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shed some light on the possible device, it won't have a screen, as Jony wants to "wean people off screens"... funny right? They are targeting 2027 for mass production, which is really interesting as 2027 is when most big companies expect AGI to be here. "The current prototype is slightly larger than AI Pin, with a form factor comparable to iPod Shuffle, with one intended use cases is to wear it around your neck, with microphones and cameras for environmental detection" LMArena Raises $100M Seed from a16zThis one raised some eyebrows. LMArena, the go-to place for vibe-checking LLMs, raised a $100 million seed round from Andreessen Horowitz. That's a huge number for a seed, reminiscent of Stability AI's early funding. It also brings up questions about how a VC-backed startup maintains impartiality as a model evaluation platform. Interesting times ahead for leaderboards, how they intent to make 100x that amount to return to investors. Very curious.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we shine light on quite an old property; that is The Shadow! From its origins in Pulp Comic Format to the Hollywood Film in 1994 staring Alec Baldwin. That Film was classified big enough to spawn a corresponding Toyline from Kenner. Trent unpacks what was great, and what was left in the dark, around this neat property. Then we switch gears, and have a FULL-ON Spoiler lead discussion around the new Marvel Film that is: Thunderbolts - or New Avengers?!? We run though how each character played their part; the tone of the film & what we all overall thought of it too. Keen to hear from your thoughts on this Film too!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yhdysvalloissa Trumpin hallinto on ryhtynyt leikkaamaan yliopistojen rahoitusta. Leikkauksia ja rahoitusjäädytyksiä on perusteltu juutalaisvastaisuuden kitkemisellä. Arvostelijoiden mukaan se on kuitenkin vain tekosyy yliopistojen rankaisemiseen, sillä perimmäinen motiivi olisi yrittää saada yliopisto-opetus hallinnon ideologiaa tukevaksi. Ohjelmassa haastatellaan lukuisia yhdysvaltalaisprofessoreita, miten Trumpin hallinnon leikkaukset heidän yliopistoissaan näkyvät. Lisäksi kaksi Suomessa toimivaa professoria arvioi, kuinka Yhdysvaltain yliopistojen kuristamisella on myös rajat ylittäviä vaikutuksia. Maailmanpolitiikan arkipäivää -ohjelmassa pohditaan, mitä yliopistojen leikkaukset ovat Yhdysvalloille tekemässä. Ohjelman ovat toimittaneet Juri von Bonsdorff ja Paula Vilén. Äänitarkkailijana on Panu Willman.

Mitä seurauksia sodalla on jälkipolville? Moni meistä on kuullut isovanhempien kertomuksia sodasta ja lukenut tai katsonut Tuntemattoman sotilaan. Sota on osa yhteistä kansallista muistiamme. Mutta voivatko sodan kauhut siirtyä kuultujen kertomusten lisäksi jälkipolville myös perimässä? Nyt asiaa tutkitaan historian- ja epigenetiikan tutkijoiden toimesta. Historioitsijat ovat laatineet sotilaiden kantakorteista kattavan tietokannan, ja nyt se yhdistetään ensimmäistä kertaa maailmassa laajoihin terveystietoaineistoihin. Asiantuntijoina ovat historiantutkija Ville Kivimäki Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden seurasta, tutkijatohtori Ilari Taskinen kokemuksen historian huippuyksiköstä Tampereen yliopistosta ja akatamiatutkija Emma Raitoharju Tampereen yliopistosta. Toimittajana on Pirjo Koskinen.

How many followers on Scoot's Facebook page are in a race to see who can post the dumbest, meanest, most pointless comment?

While there are some cool cool news items to talk too, there's also a certain Celebration taking place in Japan right now... As such we bring on a Star Wars expert Nick G who takes us through all latest Black Series and TVC goodness. Closer to home, we recap our local (and the best) Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair with it's April 2025 edition. Huge thanks as always to Brett and Sarah for their amazing work!

Yes, there is news to talk too - some of it huge. Like a certain huge dragon. Huge fundraisers. Huge SDCC ecto-glow announcement. Two huge properties join forces (gotta build 'em all). One huge Shredder (bro lifts). But bigger than ALL of those, is the unexpected parcel of absolute joy sent by our favourite Canadian, the one and only Colin Betts. This has to be seen (heard?) to be believed. In spite of some truely awful postage costs, comes so many gifts filled with attention to detail, insight, humor and most importantly, love.
