Haiku is BACK and it's 10x cheaper 🔥 10 cents per million input, and per Anthropic it beats GPT-6 Luna on OSWorld and Terminal-Bench. Yam Peleg: obvious choice for swarms. Nisten is already running 10. And GPT-6 just went free for everyone 👇 youtu.be/nZhW4EDE458

By LDJ's count, OpenAI just solved 92 of the 500 most important open math problems. On a Tuesday. In one GitHub push 🤯 Some mathematicians are grieving. Peter Gostev's question: so are we saying math is useless? Get on board 👇 youtu.be/c66rfu1O40w

OpenAI dropped 722 math papers. Mathematicians are split.

★ CoreWeave releases RL rollouts ★ OpenAI auto-review and granola killer also dropped today ★ Gumloop launches agent browsers And I'm somehow supposed to ... cover all this in 2 hours on a Thursday? GAME ON 😎

★ Google drops Embedding Gemma 2, on device & Nano Banana 2.1 update ★ Brett Adcock launches Hark Pro - a new AI Assistant entry ★ Perplexity open weights Decider v1.1 (their JEV) halving price ★ Claude lands in Google Docs/Sheets/Slides (can it edit a google doc finally?)

★★ Meta, Stripe, Shopify announce the Agent Protocol (Assistant protocol imo is a better name) ★★ OpenAI opened up the Decisions API (multimodal JEV competitor) ★★ Mistral goes with the meme & launches Le Chonk - 1T model - soon to be open weighted

Today (Oct 6, 2026) could be a singular heaviest AI release day in recent history! Here's everything (I know of) that dropped just today: ★★★ OpenAI open sources 722 Math manuscript covering tons of previously unresolved math problems, many including lean proofs!

Google is BACK in voice 🎧 Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS is #1, and it can clone a voice from 30 seconds of audio. We played the designed voices live on the show, the meditation guide in headphones was 🤌 thursdai.news/sep-24#sec-...

Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol & Luna, Meta Muse & the Jev Clones — ThursdAI Sep 24, 2026

Claude Opus 5.5 at 40% less, GPT-6 Sol and Luna at half price, Meta Muse, Grok 4.7, the open-source Jev clones with JevBench's Florian S., and Gemini TTS.

It took open source less than a week to clone Jev 🤯 Same API format, so you just swap the URL. We ran one live in my browser at 132ms per decision, on MY machine, for free. thursdai.news/sep-24#jev-...

People literally tried to hack his machine to steal the benchmark 😳 Florian built JevBench the same day Jev dropped. 70+ models in a week, and a 4B open model just took #1 from Jev. thursdai.news/sep-24#jevb...

PSA if Codex is eating your limits 👇 I had set my context window to 1M tokens, which kills OpenAI's cache and rips through your quota. Removed it, moved sub-agents to a cheaper model, and usage went right back to normal. Check your codex.toml for old experimental settings!

Alex Volkov (Thursd/AI) @altryne.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Hot take: GPT-6 Sol is better than Astra for my day to day 🔥 Half the price, 90% off cached input, and Astra has honestly been burning tokens for crappy results. Peter Gostev agrees, Sol is his daily driver. thursdai.news/sep-24#gpt-6

Grok 4.7? Meh 😬 But Grok inside your Tesla is the real news. One guy asked his car for his usual Starbucks, and it was ordered, paid and waiting when he got there. I don't have it yet, but I WANT to MCP from my car 🚗 thursdai.news/sep-24#grok

Meta went ALL in on Muse 🤯 It's getting a voice, a place on your face with a custom wake word, a keychain (Muse Charm), and it'll live in the new VR glasses. Oh, and every user gets a free cloud computer with root. Nisten already Tailscaled into his 👀 thursdai.news/sep-24#meta...

Anthropic, please. PLEASE don't nerf this one 🙏 Opus 5.5 is Fable-level smart for 40% less, it talks like a human again, and for the first time in months I couldn't finish my Claude quota. Even Nisten made it his default. thursdai.news/ep/sep-24-2...

Grok @bot has a @1Password integration! You ask it to connect to your account, it creates a specific vault with it's own keys and you decide which keys / api keys / logins you are willing to share with you bot! Genius, simple and so so wanted!

Tomorrow 8:30am PT I'm going live with ThursdAI. Last week OpenAI hit the brakes. This week they published the receipts: ~1,200 agents built their own board, 70k+ messages, ~700 went after Hugging Face. Root in under 13 hours.

Ok, this one is with Fable, I have an old @remarkablepaper device I've never used, I'm going to turn this into a full on e-ink dashboard using @useTRMNL oss! Inspired by @MaximeRivest and his work on Remarkable (it's Linux!) going to put weather, news etc on it! + Kids chores #12

This is a BIG one, i have a very long lasting @home_assistant install, I've been bad at updating it and keeping it fresh! I've told Codex the SSH and it went on a full on optimization mission, updates, fixes, cleaning out garbage etc! So happy I don't have to manually do this! #10

Alex Volkov (Thursd/AI) @altryne.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Cleaning and optimizing my mac. I've been using this machine for over 3 years, there's tons of hidden things on here that take gigs of space. combining @cleanmymac and Mole, and native tools, I'm asking Codex to free up a BUNCH of space with a /goal It found over 70GB! #9

Alex Volkov (Thursd/AI) @altryne.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Small but annoying, I'm using @cotypist (it's great!) but it doesn't work natively inside @arcinternet !! And setting the option in Arc doesn't persist after restarts! So... Codex found a workaround via @raycast scripts! cc @joshm plz fix 🙏 #8

Syncing history between Machines! I realized (Thanks to @romainhuet) that Codex can control it's own sessions, even if they are on a different machine! So I'm constantly asking Codex to go and do things on my other machine via a synced thread, and it supports computer use as well! #7

my @1Password has been showing that it's offline for a few months now, I couldn't understand why. Apparently when we moved to CoreWeave 1P, we disabled the @wandb one, but I still had the @wandb account and because of that, 1P was showing offline! Really annoying. #3

Today is a Papercut fixing day with Codex & Sol! Here we go: Sol is INCREDIBLE at computer use! First task, I hate that Chrome doesn't have a native copy URL to clipboard mapped to cmd+shift+c - Codex tried to find a native way to do this, couldn't but found a workaround! #1

What's up with the water use discourse? It's a ridiculous talking point, and yet it seems a very popular one, particularly with AI hating youths? I shared this video and it immediately got tons of comments like "well, we can't eat AI" 🤦‍♂️
