Summary
OpenAI killed Sora, cancelled Spicy Chat, and went all in on enterprise and AGI. Their next frontier model is called Spud. Yes, like the potato. This week on AI For Humans, we dig into OpenAI's massive pivot as they kill Sora entirely, cancel their Disney deal, shut down 'Citrus Mode', and go full defense mode against Anthropic. Their next hope? A new frontier model called Spud that Sam Altman says could accelerate the economy. Plus, Google drops Gemini 3.1 Flash Live with better audio and video agents, Google's new Lyra3 Pro model brings AI-generated music and audio, Mistral launches an open-source voice model, Runway debuts multi-shot video, Meta reveals TRIBE v2 which can predict your thoughts from brain scans, a fully autonomous ping-pong robot called SMASH, and CapCut is ready to grab all that Sora traffic. OPENAI CANCELLED THE FUTURE OF VIDEO.
