# This Week in All Things AI - Week 37-2026 *Sunday 6th September 2026 to Saturday 12th September 2026* By [This Week in All Things AI](https://paragraph.com/@twiata) · 2026-09-13 --- This Week in All Things AI covers key developments in models, agents, tools, infrastructure, and policy curated from discussions in the [**All Things AI Telegram group.**](https://t.me/+PnCnwhgH8V4yMTFl) If you follow AI for work, research, investing, or just to understand where the technology is heading, this [**weekly brief**](https://paragraph.com/@twiata) is a concise way to scan the most important launches, risks, and resources in a few focused minutes. The week of 6th to 12th September 2026 brought advances in both AI performance and the tools that turn it into everyday work. DeepSeek introduced V4.1 Flash with native visual understanding and strong self-reported coding and agent benchmarks, while Inception’s Mercury 2.5 pushed diffusion-based language generation beyond 1,100 tokens per second. NVIDIA’s Sol-H3 demonstrated video generation faster than playback, and ChatGPT Images 2.5 and Eddie v4 expanded creative editing capabilities. Cursor Projects added another dimension: a persistent coordinator agent that manages subagents and ongoing work in the cloud. Alongside Hugging Face’s ML Intern and ChatGPT Work’s Data agent, it pointed toward workflows in which users delegate an extended task rather than prompt each individual step. Making that delegation effective—and deciding where its limits belong—was a recurring theme. My Portable LLM Council offered a structured way to examine competing arguments before making a decision, while Spotify’s use of cheaper worker models and Tencent’s FlexKV showed how orchestration and infrastructure can make better use of compute. Discussions around GPU financing and rental economics questioned the durability of the assets supporting AI’s expansion, even as Harvey’s latest funding round reflected growing investment in professional applications. Meanwhile, allegations concerning OpenAI’s handling of researchers’ conversations brought privacy and research ownership into focus. Taken together, the week showed why progress needs to be assessed across several dimensions: what systems can do, how economically they can do it, and how confidently people can entrust them with valuable work. The sections that follow walk through these items day by day, with short context and links so you can dive deeper into the pieces most relevant to your work or interest * * * Sunday 6th September 2026 ------------------------- Robert Scoble with a longish X article which links to many posts on what folks have been able to do GPT-6 Astra.  It might interest and inspire you (modulo how much you can use within your plan's limits,  lower reasoning levels of Astra stretch limits further).   FWIW,  I had Astra Light review my [recent Notion page](https://yusuf-goolamabbas-53.notion.site/Public-Choosing-External-Research-Tools-for-AI-Agents-3d083c2ae3038021af87df733a424ffc?source=copy_link) and it dramatically edited it cutting the number of words on the main page by half and generating cleaner SVG diagrams and it's token generation speed is very fast for its intelligence.  When [Jalapeno](https://openai.com/index/jalapeno-first-results/) (OpenAI's custom silicon for inference) rolls out at scale,  Astra and future versions are going to be running at Speedy Gonzales/Road Runner pace [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/199cd8407ae23a5b00bbd3f544ab808a98b57633916f9e58b7c00743c8aaefa5.jpg)](https://twitter.com/Scobleizer) [Robert Scoble](https://twitter.com/Scobleizer) [@Scobleizer](https://twitter.com/Scobleizer) [](https://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/2096358797384274265) My AI read everything here on X about OpenAI's Astra and wrote this report.

Unlike cars with established secondary values, GPUs get treated as worthless after depreciation, squeezing smaller players.  Efforts like Nvidia's partnerships with Apollo and BlackRock aim to unlock over $500 billion in capital, while companies like CoreWeave land big loans through customer contracts—yet many still rely on venture funding amid hopes for better liquidity tools.

I’ve put together **Portable LLM Council**, an open-source skill that gives your AI assistant a structured way to challenge a decision before recommending what to do. It runs three rounds: • **Five separate advisors** examine assumptions, fundamentals, overlooked opportunities, clarity, and execution. • **Five fresh reviewers** assess the anonymized answers for strong arguments and blind spots. • **A chair** weighs the reasoning and recommends a direction and one concrete first step. You get a readable HTML report and a Markdown transcript, so you can inspect the arguments behind the recommendation. Useful questions include: — Should we launch a paid pilot or build the full product? — Should our team focus on onboarding or acquiring more customers? — Should we migrate a system gradually or replace it in one go? **These are starting questions, not complete prompts.** Give the assistant relevant context—your objective, constraints, options, and evidence so far—or ask it to use what you’ve already discussed in the conversation. A few focused paragraphs are usually enough; the council needs something concrete to challenge. The same skill works with native subagents for **Claude Code—including local Code sessions in Claude Desktop—Codex, Cursor, Command Code, Grok Build, OpenCode, and Factory Droid**. No particular model is required. **To install, ask your assistant:** “Read the installation instructions at [https://github.com/goolamabbas/portable-llm-council](https://github.com/goolamabbas/portable-llm-council) and install the shared skill and the agent definitions for this harness in my personal installation locations. Back up existing copies before replacing anything, then verify discovery. Do not run a council yet.” Your assistant may request approval for file changes. You may need to start a new session before it can verify discovery. Manual instructions and example prompts are also in the repository. This is for decisions with meaningful tradeoffs. It uses more time and model usage than a normal answer, and agreement between agents doesn’t make a conclusion true. The value is in exposing assumptions, competing arguments, and questions worth investigating.

This comes as demand stays hot for three-year-old H100 GPUs, now renting at $3.28 an hour, prompting neoclouds to lock AI firms into multi-year contracts to finance big purchases. Experts like Jessie Dong caution that future efficiency gains and potential customer failures could leave providers stuck with debt and underused hardware in a softer market. The conversation draws parallels to early commodity markets like grain and oil, questioning if compute will prove as sturdy an asset class.

Compute is not behaving like a commodity, too stock and hype dependent. Also conveniently not mentioning that H100 rental prices are down more than 60-70% in the last 2 year.

In keeping with our commitment to user responsibility, following the official launch of V4.1 Flash and prior to the release of V4.1 Pro, all requests to the Pro model will be routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at Flash's price. If you encounter any issues during your comparative testing between V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with your feedback. Thank you for your support! ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) We will adjust the pricing for the Flash series effective from 12:00 Beijing Time on September 10, 2026. During off-peak hours, the unit price will be $0.003 for input cache hits, $0.15 for input cache misses, and $0.6 for output. Peak-hour prices will be double the off-peak rates.
