About this episode

The episode discusses the release of Ideogram 4.0, Anthropic's advancements with Claude, and the Founders Fund's new Mafia show.

Ideogram shipped Ideogram 4.0, an open source image model that finally puts open weights on par with the closed frontier for professional work, with dense text rendering. Anthropic published a paper showing Claude now writes more than 80 percent of its internal code, and we walked the graph that proves it. And Founders Fund launched a Mafia show filmed at the Tosca Cafe in San Francisco, and the marketing play behind it is the real story. Sources: 1.
