# This Week in All Things AI - Week 38-2026 *Sunday 13th September 2026 to Saturday 19th September 2026* By [This Week in All Things AI](https://paragraph.com/@twiata) · 2026-09-20 --- 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. **Reminding** the members  in the group here about the **virtual roundtable on video editing and AI I'm hosting with Shamir Allibhai**—filmmaker, former Meta PM on video/AI infrastructure, and now CEO/co-founder of Eddie AI. 📅 **Tuesday, Sep 22, 12 noon SGT,  Monday Sep 21, 9:00 pm PST** 👉 [https://luma.com/qo2351sz](https://luma.com/qo2351sz) — shows your local time. **Join us! A recording will be available afterward.** The week of 13th to 19th September 2026 brought a growing focus on AI systems that can carry work through from instruction to result. OpenAI’s Agents API and discussions around domain-specific harnesses highlighted the infrastructure behind sustained agent work, while Claude’s merging of Cowork with chat and its new Projects experience brought task delegation, parallel cloud sessions, and document creation closer to everyday use. TypeSafe AI introduced Jev for fast, structured decisions such as routing and scoring, with availability through Vercel’s AI Gateway. Specialised applications also featured prominently: Wispr Flow’s Canto targeted real-world dictation, Odyssey-3 explored physical intelligence, and OpenMontage and Pocket FM’s Sherpa showed different approaches to coordinating video production and long-form storytelling. Alongside these developments, the week raised questions about how AI should be evaluated, governed, and connected to information. Dario Amodei’s call to pace frontier development drew support from Sam Altman and Elon Musk, with independent evaluators given deeper access emerging as a concrete proposal. Xiaomi’s public MiMo training dashboard offered an unusual view into large-scale reinforcement learning, while Perplexity’s Q2D-Web study focused on the retrieval quality that shapes everything an assistant does afterward. My updated Portable LLM Council and Multi-Provider Research skills, together with a new guide to choosing AI models and search providers separately, explored practical ways to give users more control over those workflows. Claude Code’s addition of [AGENTS.md](http://AGENTS.md) support also marked a small step toward shared conventions, making instructions easier to reuse across tools. 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 13th September 2026 -------------------------- Dario Amodei proposes steps for pacing the frontier: embedded evaluators, coordination among democracies, and global coordination with authoritarian governments Sam Altman says he agrees with Amodei that “committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea”, and OpenAI will do the same Elon Musk backs Dario Amodei's arguments about pacing the frontier, saying “Dario is right” [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/71aeb71e3b14fd5a361508115871b52614a5d38c8489c4a8e562841a7b5e125d.jpg)](https://twitter.com/DarioAmodei) [Dario Amodei](https://twitter.com/DarioAmodei) [@DarioAmodei](https://twitter.com/DarioAmodei) [](https://twitter.com/DarioAmodei/status/2098773920774074715) We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

In a compatible AI application, you can connect search and retrieval providers separately. That gives you more freedom to combine the models, tools, and costs that suit you. I built the **multi-provider-research** skill to help your assistant work with those tools—choosing suitable providers, checking source evidence, and explaining gaps. You can start with just one provider.
