Are we in decline of critical (soft) skills because of AI? https://t.co/K5QRXT534p

Just put all of this in the standard voice mode instead of the 4o model please 🙏

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing GPT-Realtime-2 in the API: our most intelligent voice model yet, bringing GPT-5-class reasoning to voice agents.

Voice agents are now real-time collaborators that can listen, reason, and solve complex problems as conversations unfold.

Now available in the API alongside streaming models GPT-Realtime-Translate and GPT-Realtime-Whisper — a new set of audio capabilities for the next generation of voice interfaces.

To AI or not AI, is that the question? https://t.co/8lKL9zMn22

How do people seek guidance from Claude?

We looked at 1M conversations to understand what questions people ask, how Claude responds, and where it slips into sycophancy. We used what we found to improve how we trained Opus 4.7 and Mythos Preview.

Stop scrolling.

Anthropic just dropped a FREE AI Academy.
13 courses.

- Official certificates.
- MCP. APIs. Claude Code. AI fluency.

People paid $2k+ for bootcamps teaching less than this.

Now it’s $0.

The only excuse left is distraction.

Save it. Start today.

We've been working on a "AI Transformation Model" (I know, boring name, but that's kind of the point). It's a way to answer "how AI-native is my business"?

Every team has their version of an AI mandate. But many struggle to define the path and assess where they are on the journey.

It started as a need for a shared language when working with customers. Then we started analyzing customer journeys and usage data. And then co-created with some of the best operators and builders in AI so they could use it internally.

A few things we've learned building this:
> Companies operate at multiple levels simultaneously. Your engineering team might be at Level 3 while marketing is at Level 1. That's normal.
> You don't need everyone to be an "AI builder." Typically 10-20% of employees create the agents and workflows that benefit the whole org.
> Context is the foundation. The more connected your data, the more value AI delivers at every level.
> If nothing else, the model works as a shared language. Once teams can say "this team is at Level 2, trying to get to Level 3," alignment gets a lot easier.

It's still evolving and I'd love gut reactions. Attaching a few of the double clicks in the thread. What feels right? What's off? How would you use something like this (if at all)?

AI can make work faster, but a fear is that relying on it may make it harder to learn new skills on the job.

We ran an experiment with software engineers to learn more. Coding with AI led to a decrease in mastery—but this depended on how people used it.

@Serjhunt_ARK Good thoughts on the funding model. VCs will continue to have a quicker return focus and will not change substantially. However, foundations and private philantrophy have a bigger role to play together with governments who have to open up for mixed funding models to innovate.

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

@andmar74 @Google Yep. Just a question of time of course...

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

Mystery to solve: Why is @Google Bard now available in 180 countries, but not in Europe (ex UK)? Waiting for the EU AI act?

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

In any case; can't wait for the match between Bing vs Bard (vs ChatGPT) 🥊 search suddenly became lots more interesting and useful!

More acquisitions in the #edtech business: ⁦@blinkist⁩ now part of ⁦@go1com⁩ content aggregator enabling further expansion in corporate & enterprise learning plus a B2C offering. https://t.co/zKP8YL0ZqF

@HannaCelina What if you could plug some AI into everything you browsed, listened to or watched to gather it all & make it into a learning repository, summary & learn more tool? Oh, I might have revealed the Kinnu master plan 😂

How do technology and particularly social media affect brains of kids & teens? This is certain; overuse quickly becomes addiction and normal social interactions are needed for healthy lives. ⁦⁦⁦Thx @AlexSarlin⁩. ⁦Work for u @kschlenker⁩. https://t.co/gCzH7evhqs

Khan (Academy) is back with the World (online) School for kids 12-18. $13K for foreign students. Is this only for the elite? https://t.co/l4CuD2AOxQ

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

@Serjhunt_ARK We're soon there, but not yet. Need experts to verify content (@HannaCelina). Here is a relevant AI example in corporate education/learning from @sanalabs: https://t.co/tY6LGPMAy6

In this jungle of tools; what is the ideal tech stack for HR & L&D depending on company size? Will there ever be a one-size fits all tool?

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

What are upcoming HR tech tools that matter according to VCs? How do you avoid an overload of tools with remote & hybrid? @siftedeu has the latest: https://t.co/ZpwfM5TSkz

[Frank Albert Coates @phranque]

One part of the HR tech stack is recruitment tools. The skills assessment platform TestGorilla with a mission to eliminate hiring bias (& avoid CVs) raised $70M last year: https://t.co/qFyMaNl1cr
