Two models are better than one

Welcome back, Superhuman. Here’s a riddle for you: What fits in your pocket, sits on your desk, but has no screen? The leading theory is that OpenAI’s first gadget will be an AI-powered pen. The classic form factor might be the perfect vessel for the “unobtrusive” companion OpenAI is aiming for.

Today: Learn how to turn any video into study notes and quizzes with AI, and get the latest headlines and social media posts.

TODAY IN AI

1. New algorithm lets AI models team up: What if, instead of choosing between Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude, you could just get them all to work together? Japan’s Sakana AI says it’s come up with a new algorithm that lets multiple frontier models team up. On Arc-AGI-2, a benchmark that tests AI’s reasoning capabilities, a squad made up of o4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and DeepSeek’s R1 performed much better than any single model on its own.

2. Higgsfield opens up access to its ultra-realistic image model: The AI platform is unlocking “daily free generations” for its new Soul image model, which is supposedly “breaking the internet” with its photo-like realism. Higgsfield is best known for its aesthetic video models, but Soul takes things to another level, with images that look like they came straight out of a glossy fashion magazine or an influencer’s viral post. I took it for a test drive and was pretty impressed with the attention to detail and wide variety of filters, whether you’re going for 90s film grain, a Y2K poster, or an iPhone selfie.

3. OpenAI’s upcoming gadget starts to take shape: Bloomberg is convinced that OpenAI and Jony Ive’s long-awaited AI device might be, drumroll please…an AI-powered pen. The outlet landed on this theory through process of elimination: Recent court filings reveal it’s not something you can wear, and it won’t have a screen. Only adding to the theory, Ive is supposedly a pen aficionado, and he even helped design the Apple Pencil while Chief Design Officer at Apple.

FROM THE FRONTIER

The AI talent shakeup is far from over

AI’s talent battle is starting to feel more and more like a high-stakes sports draft. Star researchers keep switching teams, making it virtually impossible to figure out which AI giant is on top anymore. The competition is so fierce that even companies that’ve traditionally stuck together are starting to turn against one another.

The latest example: Vibe coding giant Anyshpere just lured away Claude Code’s creator, Boris Cherny, as well as the tool’s product manager, Cat Wu. This is a huge loss for Anthropic, since Claude Code is one of its most successful products. On top of that, it’s a pretty surprising betrayal, considering Anysphere relies on Claude integrations for its popular coding tool, Cursor.

The great reshuffle: AI juggernauts like OpenAI and Google are even struggling to keep up with newcomers, including Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab. Business Insider just reported that technical staffers at the stealthy startup make on average $462k. That’s $170k more than OpenAI’s average.

That’s just the start: Meta just brought on at least 11 all-stars for its new superintelligence team, and to make it happen, the company reportedly offered eye-watering $300M four-year packages to at least three top researchers.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman warned that Meta’s going down a dark path, which could lead to “very deep cultural problems.” Now the question is, who’s best positioned to reach AGI first: The company with the most top-tier researchers, or one with the best strategy?
