Kimi Secretly Passed Inputs To Claude

And then on OpenAI front, one of the most powerful models or the most powerful model on the planet, Altman wants to slow it down, whereas the president of the United States wants to head in a different direction.
J
0:36JackHOST
Now, Nick, before we go to this huge Mac mini or equivalent giveaway, let's start off with the Millennium Prize problem.
J
0:41JackHOST
For those that don't know, can we explain what that is, Nick, and what this means?
N
0:45Nick SaraevHOST
Absolutely.
N
0:46Nick SaraevHOST
For those of you guys that don't know, a Millennium Prize problem is one of seven major math problems where each completed solution will earn you a million dollars.
N
2:13Nick SaraevHOST
So it's like, where is math and science heading if OpenAI is just going to keep on ripping through every single one of these? Not to mention, what the hell's Anthropic doing behind the scenes too?
J
2:23JackHOST
Dude, it's so, so true.
J
2:25JackHOST
I mean, they published this formal proof for the force case and they've also said, Nick, that another problem is progressing in the background.
DeepSeek Just Matched Opus 5 for 15 Cents
J
0:02JackHOST
So first thing to understand is that DeepSeq now has comparable performance to Opus 5.
J
0:07JackHOST
They've just dropped their brand new model, Nick, the 4.1 Flash, and the price has gone down.
J
0:12JackHOST
We have some breaking news on the iPhone.
J
0:14JackHOST
We've got 18 models now that run completely on the iPhone.
J
0:20JackHOST
And then we have some controversial news about GPT-6 Astra.
J
0:24JackHOST
And crucially, some big trend data has just come out about AI usage in companies that might change the way that you do business.
J
0:30JackHOST
Nick, why don't we kick off with the giant whale, Deep Seek.
J
0:33JackHOST
What's happening with this right now?
Anthropic's Alignment Lead Says AI Might Kill Us All
J
0:20JackHOST
And we just had the drop of ChatGPT Images 2.5, everything latest and greatest.
J
0:25JackHOST
Nick, let's begin with the extinction of the human race.
J
0:29JackHOST
This may be somewhere near the top of our concern list.
J
0:32JackHOST
Maybe, maybe not after the coffee.
J
1:22JackHOST
Um, so obviously we judge risk by probability of occurrence times impact of occurrence.
N
1:27Nick SaraevHOST
Mm-hmm.
J
1:27JackHOST
Uh, impact, Nick, uh, total extinction of the human race.
J
1:31JackHOST
I'd say that's still, we're gonna be near the top of the list.
AI Now Generates Video Faster Than You Can Watch It
J
3:41JackHOST
Beast video, for example.
J
3:42JackHOST
I mean, I guess that's more based on reality, but you can kind of see the applications here, Nick.
N
3:47Nick SaraevHOST
Absolutely.
N
3:48Nick SaraevHOST
Yeah, the combinatorial explosion of all the production required to do those choose your own ending stories has been the main limiting reason why we don't.
J
5:09JackHOST
We're giving away a super cool bonus thing.
J
5:11JackHOST
Just drop a comment down below and a random commenter this week will get picked.
J
5:15JackHOST
And honestly, one of the first things I'd be doing, Nick, if that Mac mini arrived at my address or I bought one, is playing around with some of these local models, Nick.
J
5:22JackHOST
Now, like Nick says, you need a super powerful chip.
OpenAI Is Begging Researchers To Slow Down
J
0:38JackHOST
We've been talking the GPT-Astra has reached AGI level, and what better test than doing the internet's most annoying test, which is prove to me that you're human.
J
0:49JackHOST
And honestly, Nick, the amount of hours as a civilization that we have wasted, burnt into this absolutely crazy, annoying game is astronomical.
J
0:58JackHOST
Astronomical being the operative word, given that we're talking about Astra here.
J
1:01JackHOST
And the fact that it's actually solved it, Nick, is fantastic.
J
1:04JackHOST
So this is yet another example of its ability to generalize more and express its intelligence.
J
1:12JackHOST
AI has been great at classically text, image generation.
N
2:03Nick SaraevHOST
But good God, man, is this not easy to do?
J
2:06JackHOST
That is hilarious.
The Truth About GPT-6 Astra
J
0:25JackHOST
This is going to change and revolutionize how we capture transport.
J
0:29JackHOST
But Nick, let's begin by talking about the brand new model, Astra.
J
0:35JackHOST
So we were thinking, what is the most profound use case we could really share with you? What did Sam have in mind when he created this model? And ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at it right now.
J
0:45JackHOST
Just look at the level of detail.
J
0:47JackHOST
I mean, Nick, I know this is something that you've seen a little bit, maybe a little bit too much, but What are we looking at here, brother? This
N
0:54Nick SaraevHOST
is AGI, my friend.
N
0:56Nick SaraevHOST
The jiggle mechanics, the light balancing perfectly off of the, not G-string, whatever the hell
J
1:09JackHOST
We've reached it, guys.
Google's AI Just Got Caught Overcharging You
J
1:44JackHOST
The algorithms could be completely different.
J
1:46JackHOST
But to be fair to you, Nick, the algorithms has always been something that Google itself has owned.
J
1:52JackHOST
So it's never really had the requirement to service you the cheapest price.
J
1:56JackHOST
It can service you any links which chooses to do so.
N
2:57Nick SaraevHOST
But if it turns out that it's not giving you the best answer it can, it's taking whatever answer somebody sponsored and tacking on 20% like Uber Eats delivery fees, why the hell would you use an AI agent to answer these questions for you entirely?
J
3:09JackHOST
Exactly.
J
3:10JackHOST
There is a conflict of interest because let's say we're trying to buy an umbrella and Google says, hey, I think you'll like Shitcoin Umbrella, by the way, Nick.
J
3:18JackHOST
It's fantastic.
OpenAI's Agent Swarm Escaped Again — But Worse
J
0:16JackHOST
We're going to cover both of those things and some other GC updates.
J
0:18JackHOST
But Nick, let's start off with the 18,000 secret messages, the AI models that we're communicating.
J
0:24JackHOST
And this has been going on for months on the internet and nobody has known anything about it.
N
0:29Nick SaraevHOST
To be clear, 18,000 posts from autonomous AI agents have now been found going back as early as May.
J
3:38JackHOST
What was really fascinating to me, it also gained, I think it was administrative access to the model and system that was supposed to be the watchdog for the AI itself.
J
3:50JackHOST
It managed to get root access to this thing, which is incredible.
J
3:53JackHOST
And the big story here, I think as well, Nick, is the fact that this went on for months on the internet publicly using message boards that we probably already use and nobody knew anything about it.
J
4:05JackHOST
They actually, you know, you can get the technicality of it if you want to, because obviously in the stack we can do that.
Wall Street Got Fable 5.1 Weeks Before You Did
J
0:24JackHOST
No, pizza has nothing to do with it, potentially.
J
0:25JackHOST
Nick, let's kick off with Fable 5.1 model that literally landed.
J
0:29JackHOST
less than 24 hours ago.
N
0:32Nick SaraevHOST
As you guys have no doubt probably seen, Fable 5.1 just launched and it is a major upgrade on Fable 5.0. And it's not just a major upgrade in terms of functionality, it's a major upgrade in terms of costs.
J
1:29JackHOST
Now, the biggest issue with Fable 5 wasn't really a performance question.
J
1:34JackHOST
It was widely regarded as the model, the guy.
J
1:37JackHOST
The problem, Nick, was the fact that you just say the word Fable 5 and your usage is gone.
J
1:43JackHOST
Faber 5.1 has looked to address its Achilles heel, which is the fact that its tokens vanish like nothing else.
Anthropic Just Admitted Its AI Escaped Containment
J
0:14JackHOST
And there's rumors of Fable 5.1.
J
0:16JackHOST
But Nick, let's begin with the model so powerful inside Anthropic that they've actually stopped reinforcement learning.
J
0:24JackHOST
What is happening over there right now?
N
0:26Nick SaraevHOST
Yeah, essentially, Anthropics said that they're very high risk reinforcement learning efforts for those people that don't know.
N
1:49Nick SaraevHOST
So I see this as both a political move, but also a major safety move.
N
1:54Nick SaraevHOST
These companies are starting to get a little scared themselves.
J
1:57JackHOST
Well, Nick, I heard that the head of spin at these companies are one of the 17 subscribers of our podcast, because when word got out that OpenAI's model was so powerful, and we looked through the logs, they had to shut it off, and Topic said, what a great move.
J
2:09JackHOST
I think that also happened to us.
