[1] 2026-09-21 Jev: System One models for Prod, not God — with Diogo Almeida, CEO, TypeSafe AI
Tickets for AIE NYC now open, and apply for the invite-only AIE CODE. Join us!We have an unusual relationship with today’s guest: for years since coauthoring the InstructGPT paper, Diogo Almeida had been saying that API-available frontier models have been… System Two intelligence and the limits of reasoning modelsDark data, computer use, real-time intelligence, and Jev’s biggest early use casesWhy Jev could reshape coding agents built around a single-model architectureWhy Diogo says he wouldn’t pre-train with $1 billionThe OpenAI journey… But let’s, for people who are, like, living under a rock or just want, like, the definitive thing, what is Jev?Diogo Almeida [00:03:02]: Whew. Let me think about. That’s a hard one.Swyx [00:03:07]: Okay. And I’m happy to, like, re-ask… Some amount of the time you’d be out of distribution, some amount of time you’d be in distribution. That’s what happens when you cover the distribution. This was like models before GANs. They made blurry images, right?Diogo Almeida [00:07:54]: Instead,… But you can work with it, right? And you’re forced to work with it ‘cause of Stockholm syndrome.Diogo Almeida [00:12:23]: I have stories about that too. I need another tangent deep in here. But like, if you ever want this… While we’re on the topic, let’s also briefly talk about your privacy stuff, terms of ser- terms of use, which, got a little bit ofDiogo Almeida [00:17:18]: OohSwyx [00:17:18]: Misunderstanding. I just wanna clarify that upfront.Diogo Almeida [00:17:21]: Hell yeah.Swyx…

[2] 2026-09-21 Import AI 473: The US's superintelligence strategy; human brain in a mouse skull; and machine hermeneutics
Welcome to Import AI, a newsletter about AI research. Import AI runs on arXiv, cappuccinos, and feedback from readers. If you’d like to support this, please subscribe.Subscribe nowRAND thinks the best AI strategy for the US is to keep all… When a chunk of its brain is human brain tissue…A group of researchers have figured out how to grow chunks of human-like brains inside baby mice with deliberately depleted mouse brains, then use these animals as potential experimental platforms for… Infrastructure providers, especially semiconductor and cloud companies, have the greatest incentives to push ahead and the most to lose by pacing. This means that “rather than rely on voluntary, unilateral interventions, some contexts will require coordinated pacing. This is more… But it’s worth studying the dynamics of how open weight models get converted into off-distribution models because this offers clues for how autonomous AI systems might modify models in the future, giving us a sense of what the far weirder… Our profession began in the late 2020s and its origination was driven by the cascade of mathematical discoveries stemming from machines in 2026 – new solutions to open problems that had long challenged human brains, but which machines, sometimes working…
