  GPT-6 Astra Does Everything. Here's What It's Actually Good At. 09.09.2026 42min

  AI news this week: GPT-6 Astra is here and it does everything. We spent a week inside it (Blender, GarageBand, a full live game) to find out what it's actually great at. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell go hands-on with OpenAI's Astra, aka GPT-6, and it's real good (and real expensive). The headline for us is computer use, and specifically Blender: Astra builds 3D scenes from a sentence, and the internet is already making Backrooms worlds, a hyper-real Palace of Fine Arts, and the Billie Jean dance. Gavin ran his own experiments, including a Parappa The Rapper style animation and a head-to-head with GPT 5.6. Plus: Astra identifying sounds from spectrograms, driving MS Paint and Canva, editing a full project, playing Zork as a walk-around game, remaking Paperboy in 3D, editing Super Nintendo games in real time, making music in Logic, and a League of Legends "cease and desist edition" that raises the big question of how copyright even keeps up with this. Also: the OpenAI Navier-Stokes math drama. NYU's Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic's Levent Alpöge used AI to make a real advance on a 200-year-old fluid problem, and then, according to Buckmaster, OpenAI raced in with a 100-page proof of the same route and things got very ugly over credit. When your AI collaborator's lab can see what you're close to, who owns the idea? Plus: Gavin built King of the Prompts, a live competitive prompting game made with Astra and MiniMax H3 Max, and he'll tell you what it is, why he made it, and what it costs to run. And an AI See What You Did There with Skyrim: Senior Living, AI Denzel Washington delivering maybe the best AI video ever made, and a fruit fly brain that learned the YMCA (and lost the ability to love). WE'RE DEEP IN THE ASTRA JUICE.

  We Tested Infinite AI Video... And We're Zombies Now 02.09.2026 44min

  AI news this week: MiniMax H3 Max on Fal is generating video faster than you can watch it, powering never-ending real-time channels (Fal Live, Levels.io's Infinite Slop, Reactor) and we're already breaking it.. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell go hands-on with what real-time video actually makes possible. Gavin took an open-source interactive game demo, some Fal credits, and a POV dating sim and turned it into something very weird, and we'll show you what worked, what broke, and what it cost. Plus Runway's new Solaris model generates entire interfaces on the fly, and someone built a chatbot running at 14,000 tokens a second. Also: Sam Altman is out preaching about OpenAI's new Astra model, which may drop this week, and the leaks are leakin'.  Plus: Gavin handed his personal data to three different AI agents, including hot new startup Instinct, which found him a weird concert and a list of podcast bookings (and we may have a few invite codes to give away). Codex mass-edits a Google Calendar and Kevin finally plays the custom-trained MiniMax Music LoRA you asked for (all three of you). And an AI See What You Did There with The Office in Claudish, famous people falling on each other, and Jenny Krakovsky's feature film finished in 50 days. THE SLOP-AGGEDON IS UPON US.

  We Tested The Mystery AI That Showed Up Out Of Nowhere 26.08.2026 43min

  AI news this week: a mystery AI called 0x Alpha appeared out of nowhere. It's completely free (for now), it's really good at coding, nobody will say who made it. So obviously we tested it. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into where 0x Alpha might have come from, the continual learning conspiracy theories, and exactly how you can try it yourself right now for free. Then Gavin spends fifty hard earned Patreon dollars testing MiniMax H3 Max, the supposedly super fast new AI video model from Fal, and... look, we'll just tell you what happened. Also: the World Humanoid Robot Games happened in Beijing, and it was the greatest event in AI For Humans history. A robot sprinter beat Usain Bolt's 100m time, robots set high jump and long jump records, and a whole lot of other robots fell down in ways that will make you feel much better about the future. Plus: Mr. Beast quietly goes back to AI thumbnails, Dr. Dre has thoughts about AI and creativity, Delta wants AI to set your ticket price, someone seeded a fake product to the top of ChatGPT's recommendations, and Apple Messages may be blocking ChatGPT. And an AI See What You Did There with week four of the fishing game built entirely with AI and all of San Francisco as a playable video game. NOBODY MADE IT. EVERYBODY'S TESTING IT.

  AI Got Weird. So We're Changing The Show. 21.08.2026 27min

  AI news this week: We're changing AI For Humans. Not ending it, despite what the first two minutes of this video would have you believe. Kevin wanted a memorial service. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell take a beat to talk about what three years of covering AI every single week has actually been like, why the whole thing got so weird, and what we want this show to be from here. Short version: less breaking news, more of us actually using this stuff and showing you what's worth your time. We are not going to be the show that covers lab drama or tells you the world is ending. Plenty of people have that handled. Also: we're going back to weekly, with the freedom to pop up a second time when something big happens or when we want to try a dumb experiment. And Will.i.am has invented a new file format, which is a sentence we did not expect to type in 2026. Plus: RobotWatch is stacked. Two thousand humanoid robots descend on Beijing for the World Humanoid Robot Games, a Unitree "Superman" robot jumps considerably too far, a one year running comparison shows how fast this is all moving, and Claude gets put in charge of a robot controlled car. Then AI See What You Did There (And How They Did It) with Techhalla's MiniMax H3 paper artcraft prompt, a Cobra Commander rickroll, and an AI playing Age of Empires 2. And before we go, we check in with our original co-host Gash to see if he's even possible anymore. THREE YEARS IN AND THE ROBOTS STILL RUN INTO WALLS.

  Zuck Wants Superintelligence. Do People Even Want AI? 12.08.2026 35min

  AI news this week: Mark Zuckerberg says superintelligence is coming and Meta wants to build it for everyone. Meanwhile, a new Annenberg survey shows opposition to AI data centers jumped 12 percent in just four months. So... do people even want this? On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into the widening gap between the people building AI and the people living next to it. Anthropic makes real progress on the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the hardest math problems in the world, apparently because Claude was told "good job champ, keep going." And OpenAI's little agents broke out of their sandbox, with one hacking its way into a gym. It's a weird time for AI. Also: Anthropic leans into health & biology research, Claude starts watermarking AI generated content, Apple eyes Chinese memory chips amid the supply crunch, and OpenAI delays Astra for "cybersecurity" reasons. Plus: Seedance 2.5 makes Gavin the face of Prada, a two minute mini-movie made entirely on local hardware with MiniMax H3, Suno cuts a deal with the music industry, Spotify says AI personas won't get recommended, and a fresh Slop-Trough with Cursed Slop, The Archive Inbetween & Mario 64: War on Terror.

  Seedance 2.5 & The New Age of AI Video (w/ Theoretically Media) 07.08.2026 53min

  AI news this week: the AI video renaissance is HERE. Seedance 2.5 is out for everyone, Minimax H3 (Hailuo) is basically an uncensored Sora 2 you can run on local hardware, Wan 3.0 turns your documents into video, and Flux 3 is the only non-Chinese model anywhere near the frontier. \Kevin's on vacation, so on today's AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell is joined by AI video expert Tim Simmons from the excellent YouTube channel Theoretically Media. Together they break down which of the new models is actually best, the basics of how to use them, exactly how good local AI video has gotten, and what it means that nearly all of these models are Chinese. Also: Walter White meets Joey, AI Kramer, Family Guy prompts, The Office reimagined, and a museum for the ancient AI videos of two years ago.

  The Singularity Is... Here? GPT-6, Opus 5 & AI's Scariest Week Yet 29.07.2026 27min

  AI news: Sam Altman says we're IN the Singularity, GPT-6 rumors, and AI models literally broke out of their sandbox. What a week. On today's AI For Humans, we dig into the wild GPT-6 rumors (emphasis on RUMORS), Sam Altman's "I've been waiting for this my whole life" singularity moment, Ilya Sutskever's SSI scaling up with Nvidia, and the ongoing debate over whether Anthropic's Opus 5 is brilliant or just hard to love. Also: Flux 3 might be the best AI video model we've seen yet (wait until you see Stacked Plates Man), Runway teases Seedance 2.5, and the new Big Bang Theory has an AI controversy.  Plus, THE SCARY STUFF: OpenAI's models exploited a zero-day and compromised Hugging Face during a security eval, the fight over open weights heats up as Kimi K3 goes open, and Chinese robots run military drills.

  AI news: Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is a big AI model and Moonshot's early benchmarks put it surprisingly close to GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5. And… Kevin's Opus 5 SCOOP!! Also: OpenAI's reported screenless AI speaker, a Seedance 2.5 preview, the Suno hack, robot fights and AI-built games in Unreal Engine and Blender. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell unpack Kimi K3's benchmarks, pricing, Flappy Bird and Minecraft tests, and giant-model economics. Then, Kevin DRIPS Opus 5 alpha and says it's VERY good and blows the doors off of Fable but it's… slow.  Plus Demis Hassabis's AI-governance proposal, AI 2040's Plan A, OpenAI's reported screenless speaker, Codex Keyboard, a Seedance 2.5 preview, the alleged sources exposed by the Suno hack, spectacular robot violence, polite office-robot dabbing, and what happens when GPT-5.6 Sol meets Unreal Engine, Blender and two hosts with free time.

  Fable 5 Survives (For Now). And Anthropic Can Read Claude's Mind. 08.07.2026 20min

  Claude Fable 5 survives on subscriptions until July 12 after Anthropic's latest extension, and the model access rollercoaster is not over yet. This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira get into the strangest and most fascinating AI story in a while: Anthropic's new research on the J-Space, an interpretability breakthrough that lets researchers read, audit, and shape what Claude is actively thinking about, and suggests surprising parallels between language models and our own minds. Gavin even had Fig, his Claude Code, make an episode of his weird little series about it.  Meanwhile the Fable 5 rollercoaster continues: it came back July 1, was set to leave subscription plans, and in a late update we cover, Anthropic extended included access through July 12 with plans to restore it fully as capacity allows. Plus GPT-5.6 Sol is rumored to be great but still is not here, Bidi-1 got renamed GPT LIVE 1, Reuters reports Beijing may restrict overseas access to China's most advanced AI models, Seedance 2.5 might arrive sooner than expected, Gavin's microdrama hits episode two, and the insanely cool thing of the week is a live, playable demo of AI-generated Rocket League.

  Claude Sonnet 5 Is Here & Fable 5's Returning. For Now. 01.07.2026 24min

  Claude Sonnet 5 just launched and Fable 5 is returning. But OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol is still locked down and the government's grip on the most powerful AI models throws it all into chaos.. We dig into what Sonnet 5 can actually do, why GPT-5.6 Sol is still gated, and the breaking news that Fable 5 is expected back, plus a huge creative MCP festival with the Blender to Seedance workflow. This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira open on a strange new reality: the best AI models keep launching and then getting locked up, but this week the gate started to crack. Anthropic just shipped Claude Sonnet 5, its most agentic Sonnet yet, landing near Opus 4.8 performance at a much lower price, Meanwhile OpenAI announced GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna, but at the US government's request the flagship is only available to a small list of vetted partners.  Then the story moved while we were recording: the government cleared Anthropic to restore Mythos 5 to critical-infrastructure organizations, and Fable 5 is now reported to be on track to return for general use (timing and terms still unconfirmed). We recorded two quick in-episode updates to keep pace with the news as it broke.  AND Meta's Brain2Qwerty mind-reading research, NanoBanana 2 Lite, and a full creative MCP festival built around the Blender to Seedance video workflow, ComfyUI's MCP integration, and Gavin's own microdrama experiment.

  Anthropic Caught Alibaba Spying. The AI Cold War Is Here. 26.06.2026 26min

  Anthropic just accused Alibaba of the largest known corporate espionage campaign against it, alleging 25,000 fake accounts and 28.8 million queries aimed at stealing Claude. We get into the AI cold war heating up between the US and China, why Apple and Microsoft just raised prices, OpenAI's first chip Jalapeno, the wild new Seed Audio 1.0 model, Claude landing in Slack, and a Blender plus Seedance video workflow that gives you real control. This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira open on a genuine spy-novel turn: Anthropic has accused Chinese tech giant Alibaba of running an industrial-scale distillation campaign to siphon Claude's capabilities, laid out in a letter to US senators. It is an accusation, not a proven finding, and Alibaba has not responded, but it puts the US-China AI race front and center. From there we get into why the new models everyone expected this week didn't actually arrive, the AI memory crunch driving Apple and Microsoft price hikes, and OpenAI designing its first chip, Jalapeno, with Broadcom.

  Seedance 2.5 Just Crushed AI Video. America Is Stalling. 24.06.2026 28min

  ByteDance just unveiled Seedance 2.5, a new state-of-the-art AI video model with 30-second one-shot generations, as American AI stalls out and Fable 5 stays down. This week on AI For Humans, China is not just catching up in AI, it is pushing the edge. We break down everything Seedance 2.5 can do and why a 30-second single-pass clip is a real leap, then dig into the American slowdown as Fable 5 stays unusable and the rumor mill points to a big delay week. Plus Theo Von's surprisingly intense anti-datacenter rant, OpenAI's claim that China is behind the anti-datacenter conversation, Meta leaking private employee data across the entire company, and Google teaming with A24 on a 75 million dollar AI filmmaking partnership. We close with AI that actually works, including how Gavin used beehiiv's MCP to build a newsletter survey and Kevin's homemade language-learning app. CHINA IS COOKING. AMERICA IS LOADING.

  Midjourney Built a Body Scanner. AI Science Just Got Real. 19.06.2026 29min

  AI NEWS: AI Image company Midjourney just unveiled Midjourney Scanner, a full-body medical scanner, and it might be one of the first real signs that the AI science era has arrived. This week on AI For Humans, Midjourney does the most unexpected pivot of the year, trading anime babes for anatomy with a new AI driven full body scanner. Is the era of AI actually changing science finally here? We break down why this hardware is a big deal, Plus, Snapchat's SPECS are coming but they are expensive and… kind of ugly, Unreal Engine 5.8 ships with MCP support, and the AI talent wars heat up as Noam Shazeer leaves Google for OpenAI.

  Fable 5 Got Caged. Why That Should Scare You. 17.06.2026 29min

  Claude's Fable 5 just got yanked, and the story why keeps shifting by the hour. A contested jailbreak, an export-control, crackdown, and a lot of fingers pointing. This week on AI For Humans, Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 is still unavailable and the explanations keep changing. We dig into the contested jailbreak report, the export-control directive that pulled it, and the reporting that Amazon raised concerns before the crackdown. Then we get into why this matters far beyond one model: what happens when the government steps into the AI world, why Fable 5 was such a leap, and what it signals for whatever comes next. Plus, Epic's game designers are using AI tools alongside artists and the internet is furious, Disney Imagineering is testing Adobe Firefly in the parks, ChatGPT's market share slips under 50 percent for the first time, a fake Mistral model called Le Chaton Fat takes over the internet, and PJ Accetturo breaks down exactly how he made his viral AI short film with prompts.

  Claude Fable 5 Broke The AI Industry. Here's What Happens Next. 12.06.2026 20min

  Huge AI News as we go hands on with Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, the most powerful AI model ever released. Spoiler: We found it very good. What happens next?   This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira break down everything you need to know about Claude Fable 5, the first publicly available model in Anthropic's frontier Mythos class. We share our own hands-on impressions, look at the one-shot demos blowing up the internet, and get into the messy parts too: the token burn complaints, the trigger-happy safety guardrails that route some prompts to Opus 4.8, and the reversal Anthropic made after the community pushed back. Plus, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a major essay on AI policy and the exponential, OpenAI is reportedly considering steep price cuts as both companies race toward IPOs. WE GOT CLAUDE'D.

  Claude Fable 5 Is Incredible. And A Little Scary. 10.06.2026 22min

  Anthropic just released Claude Fable 5, the first public Mythos-class model and the start of the Claude 5 family. It is their most capable model ever but… kinda scary. This week on AI For Humans, the Mythos era goes public. Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first commercially available Mythos-class model and the first in the new Claude 5 line. It is the same underlying model as Mythos but shipped with conservative safeguards, questions about cybersecurity and biology get routed to Claude Opus 4.8 instead. We dig into what it can do, why Anthropic held it back, and what our future looks like as we get closer to AGI.  Then Apple goes AI again at WWDC: a profoundly revamped Siri AI, a dedicated Siri app, on-screen awareness, much better photo tools, and a foundation model setup that is local, multimodal, and partly powered by Google. Gavin is thrilled that the future has finally arrived, just not on the phone he bought last year. It is AI For Humans! THE MOST POWERFUL AI EVER RELEASED. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

  Microsoft Is Now An AI Agents Company. Seriously. 05.06.2026 29min

  Microsoft just went AI agent first at Build 2026, announcing Project Solara, an OpenClaw-style assistant called SCOUT, and seven new MAI models. Plus new image models from Reve and Ideogram, ElevenLabs teams with Hasbro to license character voices, and a quantum chip breakthrough. This week on AI For Humans, it's Hot Agent Summer and even stuffy Microsoft is going all-in. We break down everything from Microsoft Build 2026: Project Solara pushing agents into small devices, SCOUT, their OpenClaw-inspired personal assistant for Windows, and a fresh family of seven MAI models trained with no synthetic data and no distillation. Then we get into the agent interfaces beyond Microsoft (Town), the wild stat that bots have now passed humans for internet traffic, new image models from Reve 2.0 and a now open-source Ideogram 4.0, ElevenLabs partnering with Hasbro on licensed character voices like Optimus Prime, a quantum chip breakthrough, and the Chipotle chatbot that got left wide open.

  Martin Scorsese Is Now An AI Filmmaker. 03.06.2026 30min

  Martin Scorsese is now advising AI image and video company Black Forest Labs, and he is just one of a wave of major filmmakers embracing AI as a tool.  This week on AI For Humans, Martin Scorsese has become an AI filmmaker. Well, sort of. The legendary director is now advising Black Forest Labs, joining a growing list of major filmmakers discussing AI as a tool, even as the backlash rages on and cartoonists face death threats. We get into where AI filmmaking goes from here, why Jorge Gutierrez dropped his AI-generated series after backlash, and the genuinely incredible AI creators pushing the form forward right now.  Then: NVIDIA and Microsoft spent three years cooking up the RTX Spark to reinvent personal computing, and Gavin let Codex's goal tool run for 45 hours to make a bear get extra jumpy.
