Gemini 4 & Meta's Muse Wonder Are Good. Not Great.

AI news this week: Google's Gemini 4 Argon and Meta's Muse Wonder are finally here, plus Xbox Labs, Epic's big AI pivot and an AI agent vs. Delta customer service.

On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into two new frontier AI models that are pretty good, but maybe not great. Gemini 4 Argon shines on science and the pelican on a bike test (the Fourier epicycle pelican is wild), but some early reviewers say it hallucinates on code a lot. Meta's Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full are the company's first real swing at the frontier, with big memory and coding claims, but they struggle with 3D worlds. Gavin runs a one-prompt game test, we watch a Google robot figure out cornhole and, yes, Mark Zuckerberg trying a Guinness is def the best video of the week.

Also: gaming is going all in on AI. Xbox launched Xbox Labs to explore the wave of AI game mods and decompiles, Tim Sweeney says Epic is moving developers around to retool for AI, and we check out DLSS 5 and Diablo Survivors.

Plus: quick tools, including Claude Motion, Mirelo's SFX 2.0 sound effects for video and Slowbooks Pro (coming for your accountant, in a good way). Then Kevin puts an AI phone agent on the line with Delta customer service, and it goes about as well as you'd hope (it will not hang up). In AI See What You Did There: The Little Prince as a website, a century of visual styles, Claude getting ready for Halloween and The Usual Suspects. And Gavin shares how he made his second AI documentary with his agent Fig (yes, Imogen is back).

BILLIONAIRES. THEY'RE JUST LIKE US.
