AI #177 Part 1: Tip of the Iceberg

This week saw the releases of, among other things:GPT-5-6 Sol. It is a very good model, sir.Plan A, the follow up to AI 2027. It is a good plan worthy of discussion, sir.

Kimi K3. This is only rolling out now, and will be covered next week.

Muse Spark 1.1, the new Meta model. It is not frontier, but it is progress for them.

Inkling, the first model from Thinking Machines.

A call for regulatory action by Demis Hassabis, which I’ll cover soon.

A new brief open letter call to action on AI regulation.

That’s on top of everything else, and an Opus 5 announcement is likely coming soon.

The weekly once again got out of hand, so we’re splitting it once again into two, and once again saying we’ll be raising the bar for inclusion. And this time I mean it, as in enough to actually matter.
