 Hey, Alex here! Quick note, while preparing for this week, I posted on X that I don’t remember such a quiet week in AI since I started doing ThursdAI regularly, but then 45 min before the show started, Kimi dropped a SOTA oss reasoning model, turning a quiet week into an absolute banger. Besides Kimi, we covered the updated MCP thinking from Anthropic, and had Kenton Varda from cloudflare as a guest to talk about Code Mode, chatted about Windsurf and Cursor latest updates and covered OpenAI’s insane deals. Also, because it was a quiet week, I figured I’d use the opportunity to create an AI powered automation, and used N8N for that, and shared it on the stream, so if you’re interested in automating with AI with relatively low code, this episode is for you. Let’s dive inThursdAI - Recaps of the most high signal AI weekly spaces is a reader-supported publication.

(X, HF, Tech Blog)Let’s start with the news that got everyone’s energy levels skyrocketing right as we went live. Moonshot AI dropped Kimi K2 Thinking, an open-source, 1 trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, and it’s an absolute monster.This isn’t just a numbers game; Kimi K2 Thinking is designed from the ground up to be a powerful agent. With just around 32 billion active parameters during inference, a massive 256,000 token context window, and an insane tool-calling capacity. They’re claiming it can handle 200-300 sequential tool calls without any human intervention. The benchmarks are just as wild. On the Humanities Last Exam (HLE), they’re reporting a score of 44.9%, beating out both GPT-5 and Claude 4.5 Thinking. While it doesn’t quite top the charts on SWE-bench verified, it’s holding its own against the biggest closed-source models out there. Seeing an open-source model compete at this level is incredibly exciting.During the show, we saw some truly mind-blowing demos, from a beautiful interactive visualization of gradient descent to a simulation of a virus attacking cells, all generated by the model. The model’s reasoning traces, which are exposed through the API, also seem qualitatively different from other models, showing a deep and thoughtful process. My co-hosts and I were blown away. The weights and a very detailed technical report are available on Hugging Face, so you can dive in and see for yourself. Shout out to the entire Moonshot AI team for this incredible release!Other open source updates from this week* HuggingFace released an open source “Smol Training Playbook” on training LLMs, it’s a 200+ interactive beast with visualizations, deep dives into pretraining, dataset, postraining and more! (HF)* Ai2 launches OlmoEarth — foundation models + open, end-to-end platform for fast, high-resolution Earth intelligence (X, Blog)* LongCat-Flash-Omni — open-source omni-modal system with millisecond E2E spoken interaction, 128K context and a 560B ScMoE backbone (X, HF, Announcement)Big Tech’s Big Moves: Apple, Amazon, and OpenAIThe big companies were making waves this week, starting with a blockbuster deal that might finally make Siri smart. Apple is reportedly will be paying Google around $1 billion per year to license a custom 1.2 trillion-parameter version of Gemini to power a revamped Siri.This is a massive move. The Gemini model will run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, keeping user data walled off from Google, and will handle Siri’s complex summarizer and planner functions. After years of waiting for Apple to make a significant move in GenAI, it seems they’re outsourcing the heavy lifting for now while they work to catch up with their own in-house models. As a user, I don’t really care who builds the model, as long as Siri stops being dumb!In more dramatic news, Perplexity revealed that Amazon sent them a legal threat to block their Comet AI assistant from shopping on Amazon.com. This infuriated me. My browser is my browser, and I should be able to use whatever tools I want to interact with the web. Perplexity took a strong stand with their blog post, “Bullying is Not Innovation,” arguing that user agents are distinct from scrapers and act on behalf of the user with their own credentials. An AI assistant is just that—an assistant. It shouldn’t matter if I ask my wife or my AI to buy something for me on Amazon. This feels like a move by Amazon to protect its ad revenue at the expense of user choice and innovation, and I have to give major props to Perplexity for being so transparent and fighting back.Finally, OpenAI continues its quest for infinite compute, announcing a multi-year strategic partnership with AWS. This comes on top of massive deals with NVIDIA, Microsoft, Oracle, and others, bringing their total commitment to compute into the trillions of dollars. It’s getting to a point where OpenAI seems “too big ...
