From 🇺🇸 Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast, published at 2026-01-09 00:03

don’t miss George’s AIE talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRpqPgKeXNk —- From launching a side project in a Sydney basement to becoming the independent gold standard for AI benchmarking—trusted by developers, enterprises, and every major lab to navigate the exploding landscape of models, providers, and capabilities—George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith have spent two years building Artificial Analysis into the platform that answers the questions no one else will: Which model is actually best for your use case? What are the real speed-cost trade-offs? And how open is "open" really? We discuss: The origin story: built as a side project in 2023 while Micah was building a legal AI assistant, launched publicly in January 2024, and went viral after Swyx's retweet Why they run evals themselves: labs prompt models differently, cherry-pick chain-of-thought examples (Google Gemini 1.0 Ultra used 32-shot prompts to beat GPT-4 on MMLU), and self-report inflated numbers The mystery shopper policy: they register accounts not on their own domain and run intelligence + performance benchmarks incognito to prevent labs from serving different models on private endpoints How they make money: enterprise benchmarking insights subscription (standardized reports on model deployment, serverless vs. managed vs. leasing chips) and private custom benchmarking for AI companies (no one pays to be on the public leaderboard) The Intelligence Index (V3): synthesizes 10 eval datasets (MMLU, GPQA, agentic benchmarks, long-context reasoning) into a single score, with 95% confidence intervals via repeated runs Omissions Index (hallucination rate): scores models from -100 to +100 (penalizing incorrect answers, rewarding \"I don't know\"), and Claude models lead with the lowest hallucination rates despite not always being the smartest GDP Val AA: their version of OpenAI's GDP-bench (44 white-collar tasks with spreadsheets, PDFs, PowerPoints), run through their Stirrup agent harness (up to 100 turns, code execution, web search, file system), graded by Gemini 3 Pro as an LLM judge (tested extensively, no self-preference bias) The Openness Index: scores models 0-18 on transparency of pre-training data, post-training data, methodology, training code, and licensing (AI2 OLMo 2 leads, followed by Nous Hermes and NVIDIA Nemotron) The smiling curve of AI costs: GPT-4-level intelligence is 100-1000x cheaper than at launch (thanks to smaller models like Amazon Nova), but frontier reasoning models in agentic workflows cost more than ever (sparsity, long context, multi-turn agents) Why sparsity might go way lower than 5%: GPT-4.5 is ~5% active, Gemini models might be ~3%, and Omissions Index accuracy correlates with total parameters (not active), suggesting massive sparse models are the future Token efficiency vs. turn efficiency: GPT-5 costs more per token but solves Tau-bench in fewer turns (cheaper overall), and models are getting better at using more tokens only when needed (5.1 Codex has tighter token distributions) V4 of the Intelligence Index coming soon: adding GDP Val AA, Critical Point, hallucination rate, and dropping some saturated benchmarks (human-eval-style coding is now trivial for small models) — Artificial Analysis Website: https://artificialanalysis.ai (https://artificialanalysis.ai (\"https://artificialanalysis.ai\")) George Cameron on X: https://x.com/grmcameron (https://x.com/grmcameron (\"https://x.com/grmcameron\")) Micah Hill-Smith on X: https://x.com/_micah_h (https://x.com/_micah_h (\"https://x.com/_micah_h\")) Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Full Circle Moment and Artificial Analysis Origins 00:01:08 Business Model: Independence and Revenue Streams 00:04:00 The Origin Story: From Legal AI to Benchmarking 00:07:00 Early Challenges: Cost, Methodology, and Independence 00:16:13 AI Grant and Moving to San Francisco 00:18:58 Evolution of the Intelligence Index: V1 to V3 00:27:55 New Benchmarks: Hallucination Rate and Omissions Index 00:33:19 Critical Point and Frontier Physics Problems 00:35:56 GDPVAL AA: Agentic Evaluation and Stirrup Harness 00:51:47 The Openness Index: Measuring Model Transparency 00:57:57 The Smiling Curve: Cost of Intelligence Paradox 01:04:00 Hardware Efficiency and Sparsity Trends 01:07:43 Reasoning vs Non-Reasoning: Token Efficiency Matters 01:10:47 Multimodal Benchmarking and Community Requests 01:14:50 Looking Ahead: V4 Intelligence Index and Beyond

How would Maduro's arrest affect China's Latin American strategy?

From 🇨🇳 不明白播客, published at 2026-01-08 23:00

In the early morning of Saturday, January 3, the United States dispatched troops to arrest Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, causing a global shockwave.Since the Chávez era, Venezuela has been an important partner for China in Latin America. From 2000 to 2023, Beijing provided Venezuela with over $100 billion in financing. Just hours before Maduro's arrest, he had met with a Chinese delegation led by Qiu Xiaoqi, the Chinese government's Special Representative for Latin American Affairs.How should we understand the U.S. action against Maduro? Is it a blatant act of hegemony, or a belated reckoning with a dictatorial regime? Under the changing political landscape in Venezuela, will China's oil security be threatened? Will Trump's "Monroe Doctrine," which views the Western Hemisphere as the U.S. sphere of influence, lead to a direct conflict between China and the U.S. in Latin America? What impact will this U.S. action have on the future direction of cross-strait relations?Today's guest is Leland Lazarus. He is a researcher in U.S. foreign policy and national security, focusing on Latin America, China's influence in the Western Hemisphere, and transnational criminal networks. He is one of the few researchers in U.S. policy circles who consistently analyzes China, Latin America, and the United States on the same map.Click to watch the video versionTimeline01:46 Why did the U.S. arrest Maduro?05:30 How have Venezuelans reacted to Maduro's arrest?10:01 How do other Latin American countries view this U.S. action?12:59 Why is China betting on Venezuela?

Protests in Minneapolis after the murder of a woman by an immigration agent

From 🇦🇷 Cara o Ceca, published at 2026-01-08 17:38

The death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good triggered mobilizations in Minnesota's largest city. Donald Trump justified the police action and accused her of trying to run over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. "ICE is very violent. The woman was in her truck and, in an exchange of words with the agent, tried to leave and they started shooting at her," Danny Shaw, a political analyst and professor at the City University of New York, said on Cara o Ceca. "As a result of this, there will be more public resistance, and that will lead to more repression. Nationally, there is a strong response against the continued violence of ICE. The woman who died is a hero; she died for a noble cause," he added. Investigations against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) are progressing A new criminal complaint is scrutinizing the AFA president, Claudio Chiqui Tapia, for alleged irregularities in international contracts that included 30% commissions. The Judiciary must decide whether to add this complaint to the existing case or open a separate file. "Tapia and Pablo Toviggino [AFA Treasurer] are at the center of the stage. Both had previously built power and were aware of the intricacies of football politics," Carlos Aira, a sports journalist, stated on Cara o Ceca.

Artificial Intelligence Report – 2026: or maybe it's time to make friends?

From 🇵🇱 Raport o stanie świata Dariusza Rosiaka, published at 2026-01-08 16:00

Last year was the most profitable for the AI industry, but from the perspective of ordinary people, more and more doubts began to emerge as to whether the artificial intelligence revolution would bring tangible benefits, or rather be a bubble that would fuel a global crisis.The new year, which is just beginning, may be a year of truth and verification. Will AI meet the enormous expectations placed upon it? How will it change the lives of average users in 2026?🔵 In this episode, we will talk to the creator of one of the most famous AI podcasts in the world about his predictions for the coming months and why, as an experienced journalist and correspondent in forty countries, he became interested in this topic.🔵 This could also be the year when AI gains a face — literally. After language models, companies are increasingly focusing on humanoid robots and improvements in this area. This episode also features a conversation with leading humanoid designer David Hanson, who created the character of Sophia, who has appeared at UN conferences, among other places, and even holds citizenship.🔵 We will also look into one of Warsaw's offices, where AI is beginning to play an increasingly important role. Is using artificial intelligence in an office or company a cause for shame today? Or quite the opposite? And does it really shorten work?Guests:🟢 David Hanson – American roboticist, founder and CEO of Hanson Robotics, creator of the world's most famous humanoid "Sophia"🟢 Craig S. Smith – long-time journalist and correspondent for "The New York Times", author of the podcast "Eye on AI"🟢 Daria Sowińska-Milewska – educational project coordinator, advisor, trainer🟢 Mateusz Chrobok – technology and cybersecurity expert, co-author of "Rubryka aktualnościowa" (News Column)Narrators:Dariusz RosiakAgata KasprolewiczKrystian HankeMarcin ŻyłaThe partner of this episode is SynektikSchedule:(06:08) Craig Smith: what kind of year will it be for AI?(23:42) David Hanson: how I created Sophia and why robots should have free will(48:57) Kazuo Ishiguro - Klara and the Sun - read by Agata Kasprolewicz(52:16) Daria Sowińska-Milewska: artificial intelligence in daily office work(1:15:31) Mateusz Chrobok: AI and advances in medicine(1:19:26) See you then---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata (Report on the State of the World) is a broadcast that exists thanks to our Patrons, join the fundraiser ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subscribe to the Raport o stanie świata newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Raport's T-shirts and mugs ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Self-promotion]

NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang on Reasoning Models, Robotics, and Refuting the “AI Bubble” Narrative

From 🇺🇸 No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Technology | Startups, published at 2026-01-08 11:00

Even if ChatGPT never existed, the tech giant NVIDIA would still be winning. The end of Moore’s Law—says NVIDIA President, Founder, and CEO Jensen Huang—makes the shift to accelerated computing inevitable, regardless of any talk of an AI “bubble.” Sarah Guo and Elad Gil are joined by Jensen Huang for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of artificial intelligence as we begin 2026. Jensen reflects on the biggest surprises of 2025, including the rapid improvements in reasoning, as well as the profitability of inference tokens. He also talks about why AI will increase productivity without necessarily taking away jobs, and how physical AI and robotics can help to solve labor shortages. Finally, Jensen shares his 2026 outlook, including why he’s optimistic about US-China relations, why open source remains essential for keeping the US competitive, and which sectors are due for their “ChatGPT moment.” Sign up for new podcasts every week.
