We’re thrilled to announce the Antigravity CLI, a lightweight way to spin up the same Antigravity agents right from the terminal. 💻 It gives you the exact same harness and same models, with a product experience tailored for the command line. It adapts entirely to you: your keybindings, your themes, your workflows. Full Antigravity CLI Walkthrough:

Jensen to AI Leaders: “We have to be far more thoughtful” when communicating to the public Jensen Huang: “(AI) is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software.” “We say things like, ‘We don't understand it at all.’ It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology.” Chamath: “If you were in the seat in the boardroom of Anthropic over that whole scuttlebutt with the Department of War, what do you think you would've told Dario and that team to do, maybe, differently to try to change some of this outcome and some of this perception?” Jensen: “The first thing that I would say about Anthropic is, first of all, the technology is incredible. We are a large consumer of Anthropic technology.” “The desire to warn people about the capability of the technology is also really terrific.” “We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum, and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us.” “I think that it is fine to predict the future, but we need to be a little bit more circumspect. We need to have a little bit more humility, that, in fact, we can't completely predict the future.” “And to say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there's no evidence of it happening, could be more damaging than people think.” “And of course we are technology leaders.” “There was a time when nobody listened to us, but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter.” “And I think we have to be much more circumspect, we have to be more moderate, we have to be more balanced, we have to be far more thoughtful.”

So we now have a pretty good picture of the state of the frontier AI model makers. US closed source models continue to lead. Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic stand well ahead of the pack, and may have signs of recursive self-improvement. xAI has fallen from frontier status for now (though promises to return shortly). Meta re-entered the space today with a not-quite-frontier closed source model, but an approach that suggests that they might be back in the race. All the other US players seem far behind. On the Chinese model front, Alibaba (Qwen), Moonshot (Kimi), MiniMax, Xiaomi (MiMo), Deepseek, and Z (GLM) all still appear to be very much in the race, though the best Chinese models are still 7-9+ months behind released US closed source models. For some of these players, especially Xiaomi and Alibaba, their commitment to open weights appear to be slipping. Outside of China, Mistral seems to have fallen from frontier status.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

We are improving the 0.5T Grok foundation model V8 (public version 4.3) every few days. The 1.5T V9 just finished training (incorrectly called pre-training) and is a major upgrade. Next, we are adding the Cursor data in supplemental training (others call this mid-training), then SFT and RL. About 3 or 4 weeks to release. This will be a banger.

Post Truth: “first AI-generated feature” to be awarded by an international jury The English-language Turkish documentary had its international premiere at the Warsaw Film Festival, received the Audience Award at FrontDoc, landed a main competition slot at Fantasporto, and recently scored two nominations for Best Editing and Best Music at the 58th Turkish Film Critics Association Awards. With an original script that took two years to complete, the film examines humanity’s rapidly evolving relationship with technology, questioning not only what we see, but what we choose to believe. The final film was shaped from more than 60 hours of AI-generated footage, with its images, music, and sound created through artificial intelligence by Avcıoğlu, an internationally exhibited artist and one of the leading figures of the photographic AI scene.

permissions boundaries like api keys, user accounts, walled gardens have become so much more value destructive in the agentic age. i don’t really see a perfect solution

Bots have officially overtaken humans on the internet. A new report from Human Security found automated traffic grew 8x faster than human activity in 2025, with AI agent traffic surging nearly 8,000%. The age of machine-dominated internet traffic is here, years earlier than many predicted.

The AI labs have actually done a bad job explaining what the future they are building towards will actually look like for most of us. Even “Machines of Loving Grace” has very few well-articulated visions of what Anthropic hopes life will be like if they succeed at their goals.

New post on milestones of AI automation. Right now, human labor is a hard bottleneck on output (if you remove humans, output goes to 0). Soon we'll go from essential to important to helpful to useless, first in AI research and then across the AI stack. Link in next post.
