An experiment conducted by Andreessen Horowitz partner Olivia Moore demonstrated how a fully AI-generated college persona named Janie generated 1M TikTok views in a week using tools like MiniMax, Grok Imagine, and ElevenLabs. Meanwhile, open-source AI lab Ornith released Ornith-1.5, a family of self-improving models ranging from 9B to 397B parameters under an MIT license, matching frontier-level coding performance on benchmark suites like Terminal-Bench.
We’ll talk about:
- Olivia Moore generating 20 TikTok videos in 30 minutes a day to test platform detection, viewer retention, and audience acceptance of virtual creators.
- A family of models utilizing self-scaffolding loops to continuously generate tasks, construct harnesses, and refine reasoning capabilities.
- AI chip startup Etched rapidly scaling its valuation following deployment trials with Jane Street.
- Google bidding $10M in bankruptcy court to acquire anonymized corporate operating data for enterprise model training.
