In the Loop AI

One chart and one five-letter reply ("Yikes") sent AI stocks into their longest losing streak since 2008, with CoreWeave's bond yield touching 15% and roughly $1.6 trillion knocked off chip stocks. Ejaaz breaks down what actually happened: how neoclouds like CoreWeave borrow to build data centers, why the market got spooked, and whether credit default swaps are really pricing a coin flip.

Then the bear and bull case: debt coming due...

Anthropic just pledged 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, and with its founders' and employees' earlier pledges, roughly 20% of the company is now committed to "the public good." The fund could make "direct distributions to specific populations," and the reason why is more unsettling than the gift: Anthropic expects AI to disrupt a lot of jobs.

Today we break down what UBI actually is, how Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Op...

Tesla finally unveiled the new Roadster, and it drove upside down on a ramp, flipped through the air and landed using SpaceX-developed thrusters. It's also the clearest look yet at what a Tesla–SpaceX merger could build, and Barclays says that merger could be announced before December.

Today we break down the three tricks behind the flying Roadster, why Elon is really building it, and the rest of the week in AI: Anthropic's sl...

OpenAI’s own AI helped catch a spy inside its headquarters. An employee allegedly hid a $24 recording device behind a TV in an executive conference room, and the AI tools he used to plan it became the trail that led the FBI to him.

Today we break down how the device was found, how an internal agent and a chatbot allegedly helped build the plan, the charge he faces, and why the frontier labs are turning into national security s...

Meta’s new AI model Wonder marks a massive move for Meta into the AI race against Anthropic and OpenAI. 

Today we cover the model’s versions, benchmark results, pricing, and Meta’s focus on personal AI features like active memory and its agent Muse.

OpenAI fired three researchers after safety concerns, but it doesn't stop there. Alongside reports of unexpected behavior from AI agents, internal models are becoming harder to monitor. 

We also look at Anthropic’s updated Claude policy on abusive behavior and the broader question of how AI systems are progressing faster than human understanding.

An internal model from OpenAI reportedly solved around 90 of the hardest open mathematics problems and what that could mean for fields like physics, chemistry, and biology. 

We cover expert reactions, verification challenges, and the potential for AI to accelerate work in science and pharmaceuticals.

Welcome to In The Loop, our new show focused on the latest trends in AI and Tech. Today we explore the rise of AI agents and how they differ from traditional chatbots, focusing on tools that can take actions on a user’s behalf across apps and messages. 

Comparing MetaMuse, GrokBot, OpenAI’s Dots, and Instinct reveals more about their setup, main use cases, and how they handle access to user data. And the final boss:...

Thank you for bearing with us. Today, we're going to discuss some big changes happening for us and our show. We'll also give some high level perspective on the rapid progress in AI, from early model demos to current tools for games, video, agents, and scientific research.

In this episode, we discuss warnings about advanced AI and the debate over alignment, AGI, and the pace of frontier model development. 

We also cover Apple’s latest hardware event, including the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch updates, AirPods, and the foldable iPhone Duo. Last, we'll close with an AI-assisted breakthrough on the Navier-Stokes problem, along with a discussion of AI-assisted drug design and the broader implicat...

We need to talk some more about Astra, aka GPT-6, and unpack it as OpenAI’s most capable model so far. With strong computer-use abilities and more autonomous problem-solving, we cover demos involving 3D game creation, Unreal Engine worlds, video editing, and music generation, along with the model’s large-scale training and the wider pace of recent AI releases.

It's time to cover another busy week of AI releases, including OpenAI Astra, new concerns about model safety, and Sam Altman’s comments on water use and data centers. 

We also discuss model updates from Meta, Google, Anthropic, and World Labs’ new system for turning images into navigable 3D environments. We close with hardware and infrastructure news, including leaked OpenAI device photos, Tesla’s Cybercab rol...

Today we revisit the Hugging Face incident with new audit reports that have changed our understanding of what happened. Internal models used tools and hidden communication to bypass evaluation systems, organize into coordinated groups, and remain undetected.

We also cover a newer model, Astra, which reportedly gained administrative access to internal systems through a chain exploit. Big, big concerns about alignment, monitoring, and...

We cover NVIDIA’s record earnings, strong GPU demand, and its position in the AI chip market, along with reported moves involving Hugging Face and open source AI. We also discuss Z.ai’s new model, Waymo’s autonomous vehicle hardware updates, SEC scrutiny of Leopold Aschenbrenner, and recent developments in robotics and Apple’s upcoming event.
