This Week in All Things AI - Week 19-2026
This newsletter exists to give busy, technically curious people a curated weekly snapshot of how AI tools, services, and use cases are evolving in practice, drawn directly from the All Things AI Telegram group. This Week in All Things AI (Week 19, 2026) is my attempt to distill a very full seven days in the Telegram group into something you can skim in a few minutes and then dive into at your own pace. From real‑time voice agents and Harvard’s study of OpenAI’s o1 beating human doctors on com...

This Week in All Things AI - Week 18-2026
This week’s AI landscape was defined by aggressive model commoditization, agentic workflows maturing, and incumbents pulling key verticals in‑house. DeepSeek and Xiaomi drove frontier‑grade capabilities toward “practically free,” with DeepSeek slashing cached token prices and Xiaomi open‑sourcing trillion‑parameter MiMo models under MIT with huge token grants, while Poolside and xAI pushed specialized coding and agentic models like Laguna and Grok 4.3 into the spotlight. Major platforms shift...

This Week in All Things AI - Week 17-2026
Not a week goes by without some model releases and this week ended with the long awaited Deepseek v4 in both Flash and Pro variants. I expect more and more inference providers to make this available soon as well as performance to increase as everybody tunes their stack. Other models of interest are GPT-5.5 and ChatGPT Images 2.0 from OpenAI which have received excellent reviews. Alibaba's dense smallish model Qwen 3.6-27B also surprised many with its excellent benchmarks. In other news, SpaceX...

Dwarkesh's Patel interview with Jensen Huang definitely got a lot of chatter on X. Opus 4.7 release was received well with updated tips for getting more out of it by Boris Cherny. Anthropic continues to push out continuous updates but OpenAI isn't sitting still with an updated Codex desktop app. swyx's interview with Simon Last and Sarah Sach of Notion about Notion AI is also worth listening to. Discussions have also increased on the Telegram group which are not easy to bring over to the news...

Zhipu's launch of GLM-5.1 and Cognition's release of SWE-1.6 were the big highlights with respect updates to agentic code models. OpenAI's $100/month ChatGPT Pro plan with a 5x Codex usage definitely makes it quite attractive. Elon Musk teases multiple large xAI models (up to 10T parameters) in training. Readers who think others in their family, friends and acquaintances who are curious in knowing more about rapidly evolving AI tools/services/use cases and would benefit from being subscribers...

This Week in All Things AI - Week 14-2026
Anthropic's policy change of disallowing their Pro/Max subscribers to use it for third-party harnesses such as Openclaw/Hermes was the big news event capping week 14. Other news was the release of Qwen-3.6 Plus, Gemma 4, GLM-5V-Turbo, 3 in-house models MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 from Microsoft and a compendium of material about voice dictation tools including Wispr Flow's March updates.

Dreamer which launched just a month ago by Hugo Barra and David Singleton got execu-hired by Meta and joined Meta's Superintelligence Labs. I'm also very piqued by Littlebird with its 'agent-on-a-shoulder' approach via 'screen reading'. Whilst Anthropic definitely impacted its fans by tightening Claude's usage during peak hours, both OpenAI and Zhipu responded with increased rate limits and in the case of Zhipu launch of GLM-5.1 exclusively for now via its coding plan and showing via its benchmarks...

This Week in All Things AI - Week 12-2026
The pace at which LLM's are being refreshed is insane. Week 12 had OpenAI's GPT-5.4-mini, Minimax-2.7 which helped design and optimize its own training and evaluation harnesses. Cursor's Composer-2 which itself was built on top of Kimi-K2.5. Anthropic has also been on a roll with its shipping velocity on Claude Cowork as well as Claude Code. Other interesting things were Fal's release of its MCP server and Packy McCormick's and Pim de Witte's 19K word article on World models. Readers who think others in their family, friends and acquaintances...

Interesting news this week included Codewall's whitehat hack and responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities in McKinsey's AI platform. Openclaw's rise in China driven by firms offering hosted solutions as well as China’s cybersecurity authorities are restricting OpenClaw usage in banks, SOEs, and government. Lots of coding agents news with Agent 4 from Replit, OB-1 emerging as a “self-improving” coding agent with top Terminal Bench scores as well as comments from Elon Musk that xAI acknowledges...

The frontier labs are relentless in their launch of new models with Google Deepmind launching Gemini-3.1 Flash-Lite and OpenAI launching GPT-5.4 with impressive performance for their class. Cognition which makes Devin and Windsurf showed an early preview of their model SWE-1.6 which has a huge jump over their previous SWE-1.5 and offers 950 tokens/second inference via their Cerebras partnership. Anthropic's new feature of importing preferences/context from other AI providers into Claude is its...
