AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends

OpenAI killed Sora, cancelled Spicy Chat, and went all in on enterprise and AGI.
Their next frontier model is called Spud. Yes, like the potato. 
This week on AI For Humans, we dig into OpenAI's massive pivot as they kill Sora entirely, cancel their Disney deal, shut down 'Citrus Mode', and go full defense mode against Anthropic. Their next hope? A new frontier model called Spud that Sam Altman says could accelerate the economy.

Plus, Google drops Gemini 3.1 Flash Live with better audio and video agents, Google's new Lyra3 Pro model brings AI-generated music and audio, Mistral launches an open-source voice model, Runway debuts multi-shot video, Meta reveals TRIBE v2 which can predict your thoughts from brain scans, a fully autonomous ping-pong robot called SMASH, and CapCut is ready to grab all that Sora traffic.
OPENAI CANCELLED THE FUTURE OF VIDEO. BET IT ALL ON A POTATO.

AI NEWS: Anthropic's Claude is slowly boiling OpenClaw & OpenAI one feature at a time. They just shipped automode, computer control, phone access, and a ton more.
 
This week, we breakdown all the biggest news on AI agents like how. Claude can now operate your entire computer from your phone, Claude Code automode can runs fully autonomous, and it's now accessible via Telegram and Discord. 
We dig into why this matters for OpenClaw, the open vs closed AI debate heating up, Karpathy using OpenClaw to control his home gadgets… and, oh yeah, OpenAI just shut down Sora.
Plus Seedance 2.0 finally drops (sort of), Figure's robot sorting is getting insane, Figure CEO Brett Adcock launches Hark with a team from Apple and Meta, Jonathan Mann's WAMP.LAND, and we debut SLOPWATCH 2026 to talk about what's happening on Fruit Love Island. 
Also, we gave our AI a lunch break. His name is Figmund.
ANTHROPIC SHIPPED. CLAW COOKED. SAM STUCK. WE STILL SUCK.

Google AI Studio just got databases, multiplayer, and persistent sessions. Vibecoding just grew up. We break down what it means for your AI workflow.
This week on AI For Humans, we dig into Google's massive AI Studio upgrade that levels up vibecoding with Firebase databases, authentication, multiplayer support, persistent sessions, and Next.js integration. We discuss how it compares to Claude Code and Codex, and ask whether this changes the vibecoding stack for good. 

Plus Google Stitch for design-to-code, OpenAI cuts side projects to focus on coding and fend off Anthropic, Claude Code Dispatch lets you run Cowork from your phone, DLSS 5 drama continues, Midjourney v8 launches to mixed reviews, Runway teams up with NVIDIA's Vera Rubin chip for near real-time video generation, Val Kilmer gets resurrected by AI to star in a new film, Meta's having trouble with rogue AI agents, Kagi's LinkedIn translator is hilarious.
Oh and Kevin created open-source Generative DOOM.
GOOGLE GOT A NEW TOOLBOX. WE OPENED IT. THINGS GOT WEIRD.

Jensen Huang just stood on stage and said $1 trillion. He wasn't joking. NVIDIA's GTC 2026 keynote was a masterclass in flexing, and we're breaking down every layer of the cake.
We walk through Jensen Huang's massive GTC 2026 keynote, from NVIDIA's $1 trillion business projection to the inference inflection point that's reshaping the entire AI industry. We dig into DLSS 5 and why AI-powered neural rendering is about to change gaming forever (sorry, gamers), NVIDIA's deep integration with OpenClaw and the launch of NemoClaw for enterprise agents, chips in space, and what it all means when every company becomes an agentic-as-a-service company. Plus the Dwarkesh podcast with Dylan Patel on the real bottlenecks in compute that nobody's talking about.
JENSEN HUANG SAID ONE TRILLION DOLLARS AND DIDN'T BLINK. WE BLINKED.
PS, we're now coming to you TWICE a week (both a little shorter).

AI just learned how to make itself smarter. That's not a hypothetical anymore. Recursive self-learning is here, and it's changing everything about how AI develops.
 
This week on AI For Humans, we break down Andrej Karpathy's new AutoResearch project and what recursive self-improvement actually means for the rest of us. Plus, Anthropic's massive Time magazine profile reveals just how fast Claude is writing its own code, Meta quietly acquired an AI agent social network called MoltBook, Replit drops V4, Perplexity launches computer use, Gemini finally shows up in Google Docs and Maps, Cloudflare does a full 180 on web scraping, Figure's robot cleans an entire living room, and there's a robot horse. 
 
We're sure that's fine.
 
AI IS IMPROVING ITSELF AND WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE WATCHING.
