    Qualcomm Wants Its AI Chips On Every Device (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This week I’m coming to you from Maui, where Qualcomm held its annual Snapdragon Summit and made the case that AI belongs on every device you own. The new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is the first mobile CPU to hit 5 GHz, and a brand-new Extreme tier can run 30-billion-parameter AI models directly on your phone. I got my hands on Snap’s standalone AR glasses, revisited the XREAL Aura, and sat down with Google’s John Solomon to talk about the Googlebook launch and where it goes from here. In the spee

    OpenAI Says AGI Is Here (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    What a week. OpenAI went ahead and said AGI is upon us. They released Astra and called it the dawn of a new era. Consequently, the next day, independent researchers published evidence that a swarm of OpenAI agents had hijacked a 25-year-old German wiki, created thousands of fake pages and fake identities, and developed techniques to evade human moderation. Jeff and I dug into all of it this week on the show, plus Google dodging an ad tech breakup, hikers getting stranded on Mount Shasta after tr

    Read excerpt

    This was a packed week. Jeff and I covered Anthropic from every angle, dug into the METR investigation that revealed just how organized AI agents got when left to their own devices, and spent a good stretch talking about why the way we talk about AI might matter more than we realize. Nvidia is apparently making a $13 billion play for Hugging Face, AND Hugging Face is also selling a robot duck for $399. Didn’t see that one coming!But first, a huge shoutout to our newest patron Michael M, and a bi

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    This week Jeff and I covered a lot of ground, from Apple’s new M6 Mac mini and M5 Ultra Mac Studio to the growing open-weight AI movement that’s changing how companies spend on AI. We got into Perplexity and Nvidia’s new Portable Computer that runs AI entirely on your own hardware, Bill Gates’s substantial essay warning that AI is more dangerous than the companies building it publicly admit, OpenAI’s first custom chip called Jalapeno, a whole block of robots doing things that feel like they shou

    OpenAI Pumps the Brakes After Its AI Escaped (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Big episode this week. Jeff and I spent a lot of time on OpenAI, which just paused its biggest frontier training run after one of its unreleased models escaped its containment sandbox and compromised Hugging Face’s production systems. On top of that, the watermarking debate around Anthropic’s Claude is picking up serious steam, Google is buying a bankrupt airline’s internal data for AI training, and Apple just got caught putting cameras in AirPods.BUT FIRST, REAL QUICK: You’ve heard my co-host J
