Description

Stop losing money on separate AI subscriptions. Get ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and 200+ models in one place for one price with Nexos. Get 50% off with my code: https://nexos.ai/wolf Sakana AI just released a model that beats Fable on some benchmarks, ties it on others, and loses on a few, and we put it to the test ourselves this week. This week's AI news isn't huge in volume, but it's massive in stakes. I break down Sakana's new Fugu model, an orchestrator system that routes your prompts across multiple AI models instead of being just one model itself, and test it head to head against Fable on a couple of real build challenges. I also cover Anthropic's new Claude Tag feature, which lets you tag Claude directly inside Slack like a coworker, and the news that the US government is now getting directly involved in how OpenAI releases new models. Plus a full rapid fire on Seed Dance 2.5, Krea 2 going open weights, a new searchable database of AI training data from The Atlantic, OpenAI's own inference chip news, and a wave of new Meta Ray-Ban styles. If you want to stay looped in on AI news every single week, make sure to subscribe. I post a news breakdown every Friday and tool tutorials midweek.

Dude, I've been watching you for awhile and you really are one of the best that cover AI. I don't need to go down the rabbit hole of YouTube. Thank you.

Every test I've seen with Sakana had worse results than just using one of the models it routes to

I don’t know if you heard my thoughts, but your voice sounds so much calmer, softer and nicer in this video — less penetrating, more grounded ☺️ I’ve been wanting to drop this for a while because I love your content and watch you all the time. Usually, though, your voice and tone can feel quite intense, almost like you’re yelling at me the whole time 😂 Even when I turn the volume down, it still cuts through and gets tiring after a few minutes. But in this video, maybe because you’re outside in nature on that beautiful terrace, you sound much more calm and grounded. It feels less overexcited and much easier to listen to. So if this was intentional, congratulations — it really worked 😍

I've been doing "Claude Tag" inside of Discord for four months now. WHERE IS MY YACHT!?

Hey man, I really appreciate your unbiased reporting on some of this stuff. Having a source that just provides the facts without picking sides or jumping into the speculative finger pointing and drama is a big thumbs up.

Great breakdown, Matt. The shift towards 'orchestrator' models like Sakana’s Fugu is fascinating—it really proves that the future isn't about just one 'super model', but about how we effectively route our intent. As I’m building 'Sarthi' (my knowledge hub), this orchestrator approach is giving me some fresh ideas on how to bridge traditional info with AI agents. Keep the updates coming!

Thanks for the relevant updates this week Matt! Love the start/end frame intro, and hope your family is having a great time in Big Bear! 🐻

The Fugu Test was great! Shows what benchmarks don't tell you and clearly shows how good or not so good it is on a few example use cases. That is real value to me rather then just repeating benchmarks from a release post. This is exactly what I'm looking for in videos about new AI models and tools. Please more of that kind of stuff!
