Get their grounded perspective each week as they explore the generative AI landscape through news analysis, tech discussions, hands-on experiments, and clear explanations. Dive into the latest language models, AI agent capabilities, and RAG techniques. Understand the hardware race, key research, startup trends, benchmarks, and the real-world impact of AI across industries like healthcare, robotics, and creative work. We also test AI limits, explain core concepts, discuss ethics, and interview builders shaping the field. For engineers, developers, researchers, and anyone seeking a practical understanding of AI’s rapid evolution and its applications.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-23T12:20:57.460849+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generative-ai-meetup"},"episode":{"title":"The Best Open Source US Model (Right behind China)","slug":"the-best-open-source-us-model-right-behind-china","published_at":"2026-06-07T17:23:54+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generative-ai-meetup/the-best-open-source-us-model-right-behind-china","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generative-ai-meetup","url":"https://podcast.genaimeetup.com/e/the-best-open-source-us-model-right-behind-china/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/kz5fga5e54y8rmc8/output.mp3","summary":"https://novacut.ai/ https://genaimeetup.com/ Anthropic has officially closed a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion valuation, nearly 2.5x its valuation from just 100 days ago. Meanwhile, funding is flowing across the ecosystem: Frameworks AI at $15B, Baseten at $11B, OpenRouter's $113M Series B, and Cognition AI's $1B Series D. NVIDIA went on an open-source super week with Nemotron 3 Ultra, Cosmos 3, and Nemotron 3.5 ASR. Microsoft dropped 5 new MAI models. Google released Gemma 4 12B, and Anthropic shipped Opus 4.8. On the benchmarks front, DeepSWE crowns GPT-5.5 as the leader in long-horizon coding tasks, while ITBench shows even frontier models struggle with real-world SRE incidents — Claude Opus 4.7 tops out at just 47%. Plus: Cloudflare acquires VoidZero to build the future of AI-native edge development, and Google is paying SpaceX $920M/month for compute. Topics covered: • Anthropic's $65B Series H and path to $1T • Fireworks AI, Baseten, OpenRouter & Cognition funding rounds • Microsoft's 5 new MAI models • NVIDIA's open-source super week (Nemotron, Cosmos 3) • MiniMax M3, Gemma 4 12B, JetBrains Mellum2, Opus 4.8 • DeepSWE benchmark: GPT-5.5 leads long-horizon coding • ITBench: Frontier models under 50% on real SRE tasks • Cloudflare + VoidZero for AI-native edge dev • Google's $920M/month SpaceX compute deal #AI #Anthropic #NVIDIA #OpenAI #AInews #TechNews #LLM Funding rounds Anthropic formally confirmed the closure of its $65 billion Series H funding round at a post-money valuation of $965 billion.
