About this episode

The episode covers significant AI developments announced at the AI Engineer conference in London, including new models and tools from major organizations.

Hey yall, Alex here, writing this from sunny London, at the first ever AI Engineer conference in Europe! What a show we have for you today! First, let me catch you up on what’s important: Anthropic, this week announced a whopping $30B ARR up from 19B in Feb, while also telling us about Claude Mythos Preview their next gen HUGE model that they won’t release to the public (yet?) that finds crazy vulnerabilities in existing code bases. Apparently OpenAI will follow up with a similar non-public model soon. The Meta Superintelligence Lab led by Alex Wang finally showed what they were working on, Muse Spark , the smaller of their upcoming models on a complete new infrastructure ( MSL announcement , Simon Willison’s deep dive on the 16 hidden tools ). In other news: Z.AI released GLM 5.1 in OSS finally ( HF weights ), Seedance 2.0 finally available in US on Replicate, OpenAI testing out GPT-image-2 on LM Arena under codenames, HappyHorse from Alibaba takes the video crown, and Mila Jovovich (5th Element, Resident Evil) releases agentic memory plugin called MemPalace ( Ben Sigman’s transparent correction thread is worth reading). We had 5 guests today on the show, we kick off with @swyx…
