Highlights from my conversation about agentic engineering on Lenny's Podcast

Simon Willison

What happened: I was a guest on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast, in a new episode titled An AI state of the union: We've passed the inflection point, dark factories are coming, and automation timelines . Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit een bruikbare interpretatie of shift in denken blootlegt.

#ideeën & stemmen

AI benchmarks are broken. Here’s what we need instead.

MIT Technology Review AI

What happened: For decades, artificial intelligence has been evaluated through the question of whether machines outperform humans. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit iets zegt over waar modelcapaciteit en onderzoek echt naartoe bewegen.

#models & onderzoek

Claude Dispatch and the Power of Interfaces

One Useful Thing

What happened: We often lack the tools for the job, even if the AI is capable enough Why it matters: Interessant als signaal over de onderliggende stack, maar bewust beperkt tot één tooling-item in deze brief.

#tooling / infra

Sakana AI launches "Ultra Deep Research" to automate weeks of strategy work

The Decoder

What happened: Sakana AI has unveiled "Sakana Marlin," an AI assistant for business customers that researches autonomously for up to eight hours and delivers finished analyses. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit laat zien hoe AI landt in echte teams, processen of klantwerk.

#adoptie in de praktijk

OpenAI acquires TBPN

OpenAI News

What happened: OpenAI acquires TBPN to accelerate global conversations around AI and support independent media, expanding dialogue with builders, businesses, and the broader tech community. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit een concreet praktijkverhaal is in plaats van marketing of toolpraat.

Hugging Face Blog

What happened: Welcome Gemma 4: Frontier multimodal intelligence on device Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit iets zegt over waar modelcapaciteit en onderzoek echt naartoe bewegen.
