This week in terms of news and information about models and AI tools has been akin to drinking water from a firehose. We've tried to curate as much as possible in the group (Grok 4.1, Grok 4.1-Fast, Gemini 3, Gemini 3 Pro Image aka Nana Banana Pro etc) but I think a lot of news slipped past the cracks
I would like to encourage readers to write to me with their feedback about the content that I curate. Even short messages are appreciated

Clocking in at over 17 hours of content are the livestreams/recording from the AI Engineer Code Summit curated by swyx of Cognition
Personally I'm going to wait a few days and let Google/Youtube churn through the video and spit out correct metadata and then have these videos be analysed by NotebookLM to generate some deep dives

A cinematic, dark photograph of an ancient parchment map, weathered with intricate calligraphy, laid out on a polished mahogany table, gradually morphing into a vibrant, 3-dimensional landscape with shimmering turquoise rivers, lush emerald forests, and towering, mist-crowned mountains, diorama effect, captured from a high-angle shot that showcases the intricate details of the map and the sprawling, vivid terrain below, with birds flying over the mountains, animals moving in the valley, and a human hand pointing to an X on the map where they need to go.
