I just sent out the September edition of my sponsors-only monthly newsletter. If you are a sponsor (or if you start a sponsorship now) you can access a copy here. The sections this month are:

  • Best model for code? GPT-5-Codex... then Claude 4.5 Sonnet
  • I've grudgingly accepted a definition for "agent"
  • GPT-5 Research Goblin and Google AI Mode
  • Claude has Code Interpreter now
  • The lethal trifecta in the Economist
  • Other significant model releases
  • Notable AI success stories
  • Video models are zero-shot learners and reasoners
  • Tools I'm using at the moment
  • Other bits and pieces

Here's a copy of the August newsletter as a preview of what you'll get. Pay $10/month to stay a month ahead of the free copy!
