AGI in 2025? Plus, OpenAI's Agents, NVIDIA's AI World Model & More AI News

AGI is coming in 2025 or at least that’s what OpenAI’s Sam Altman thinks. Plus, huge announcements from NVIDIA at CES & hands on with Google’s VEO 2. AND OpenAI’s Operator (aka their AI Agents) might come soon, DeekSeek V3 is pretty darn good, Meta makes a big mistake with their AI personalities, Minimax’s new subject reference tool, METAGENE-1 might help us stave off disease, and all the robot vaccum news you could ever want. Oh, and Kevin is sick. BUT HE’S GOING TO BE FINE.
