    I Tried OpenAI Dots: How Much Can I Hand Over?

    OpenAI called their new Ai assistant – dot, yes, like a dot, connecting the dots, and gave it an own computer. And you can call it. I was very curious to try how this agent works. At OpenAI DevDay 2026, I set up my own dot, a lavender owl called Turrie, and started finding out what an always-on AI assistant can actually take off my plate. In this episode of Attention Span, we walk through OpenAI Dots. What happens when an assistant can carry context between conversations and notice work you haven’t thought to ask for? We look at GPT-6 Astra, the infrastructure around it, permissions, and where human oversight comes in. We also explore how Dots fits alongside Grok Bot, Meta’s Muse, and Anthropic’s Cowork. The question: can Dots close the gap between what AI can do and what we actually manage to do with it? Watch the walkthrough, then tell me: would you prefer one AI assistant for everything, or several for different tasks? 👉 Subscribe for high-signal AI analysis 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turingpost_tv 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@turingpost_tv 👉 More analysis: https://www.turingpost.com/ 👉 Interviews: @realturingpost Attention Span is here to show you AI isn’t magic.

    Salesforce’s Rohan Kumar on the Unsolved Problem Holding AI Agents Back

    What does an AI agent need to understand before it can act for a business? In this interview, Rohan Kumar, President & Chief Platform and Engineering Officer at Salesforce, explains why the answer goes beyond choosing a model. We discuss the enterprise AI harness: how to test and manage agents, give them limited permissions, protect sensitive data, and supply the right context without wasting tokens. There are a lot of very interesting engineering problems to solve! And one of them is capturing how a company actually makes decisions... Part of **The Org Age of AI**: https://www.turingpost.com/t/the-org-age-of-ai  What happens on your team when an exception is approved: do your systems record *why*, or only that it happened? *We talk about:* - What belongs in an enterprise AI harness.  - Why an agent needs its own identity and limited permissions.  - How curated context could reduce cost and improve results.  - Choosing models by price and performance.  - Turning data across systems into knowledge an agent can use.  - Why coding models have examples of expert judgment to learn from, while business agents often don’t.  - Capturing the reasoning behind decisions.  - Building with customers to understand how work actually happens. - What junior engineers should learn as coding changes. *Guest:* Rohan Kumar is President and Chief Platform and Engineering Officer at Salesforce. He previously spent more than two decades at Microsoft, including leading Azure Data.

    AI That Acts: Odyssey-3, Helix 2.5, Jev & DeepMind’s New Institute

    Odyssey-3 connects a world model to robot control. Figure takes Helix 2.5 into thirty unfamiliar homes. Jev brings fast decisions into agent workflows, while an experiment with communities of agents shows how a malicious message can influence behavior almost two days later. In this episode of Attention Span, we connect the week’s developments in AI’s ability to understand and act in the world. We explore Reka’s world-model plans, why handing a box to a person is brutally hard, and how FAMOS infers an object’s moving parts from incomplete observations. I also share my Dreamforce conversation with Salesforce’s AI research team about learning from feedback and updating models after deployment. We finish with Google’s household assistant CC, Edison Scientific and FutureHouse’s Millennium Problems for Biology, and the questions raised by the new DeepMind Institute. 👇 Which of these developments deserves a deep dive?

    Is Jev What AI Has Been Missing? I Tested It.

    Jev doesn’t write essays or code. Why everyone is talking about it?!I got early access to TypeSafe’s new System One Model, explored the playground, and tested it alongside Codex. Behind Jev is Diogo Almeida, an InstructGPT coauthor whose work helped make ChatGPT possible. Now he’s betting on AI built for software to use.  Is it a breakthrough or just a classifier? We explain RLCD, look at Vercel and OpenCode examples, and discuss what Jev might mean for the future. The question: can better small decisions help AI finish bigger jobs?

    The Agent Can Rewrite Itself. So Who Controls It?

    Meta just gave its new personal agent, Muse, a remarkable amount of freedom. It can browse, work across your accounts, write code, build tools and run subagents. But Meta made one part of the system deliberately difficult for Muse to control: its own authority.In this episode of Attention Span, I look inside Muse Secure VM and the security architecture surrounding the agent. We get into Sentinel, the separate system that decides what Muse is allowed to do; why Muse can use your accounts without ever seeing the real credentials; how “tainted egress” changes permissions after a process touches private data; and why reading an email can give an agent considerably more power than “read access” suggests. And somehow, all of this takes us back to computer-security ideas from 1975. The larger question is one we are going to encounter everywhere as agents become more capable: How much freedom can we give an agent to discover new ways of doing things without allowing it to expand its own authority? *Watch it*, and tell me where you would draw that boundary. *IN THIS EPISODE* → What “rogue agent” actually means technically → How Muse Secure VM isolates the agent → Why Sentinel sits outside the environment Muse can modify → How an agent can write a new tool without granting that tool permission → How surrogate tokens keep real credentials away from the model → What “tainted egress” means and why permission may need memory → Why “read my email” can unlock much more than email → Least privilege and complete mediation, 51 years later → Where Muse's security architecture still has unresolved problems → Secure from whom? The agent, other users, or Meta itself → DeepSeek Harness + Muse: capability can become fluid; authority cannot *META MUSE* → Introducing Muse Meta's product announcement and overview of Muse Secure VM. https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/ → How We Built Safety Into Muse The technical deep dive.

    Does AI Understand the Machine It Runs On? | Inside OpenAI

    What if a model finds an optimization that surprises the engineers who have spent years working on that system? What, exactly, has it understood? I brought that question to OpenAI’s Phil Tillet and Matt Ferrari, whose work involves making AI cheaper and more accessible. They’re increasingly doing that work with the models themselves. Matt talks about research ideas his team used to dismiss because the engineering would be too complicated. Now they can give a model years of earlier research and ask it to explore what might work. They’re using models to help improve the smaller models behind speculative decoding, including the training process itself. So I ask whether the model is also helping choose the ideas, and how much that expands what they’re willing to try. I also ask something familiar to anyone who uses these systems: why does the same model sometimes feel different? Phil explains that even changing the order of floating-point calculations can introduce differences in its behavior. That puts a very concrete problem behind our conversation about understanding: an optimization can make the system faster and still change something you wanted to preserve. We get into how they catch those changes, and what happens when the failure is something nobody thought to test for. *We talk about:* When models became useful for engineering decisions. Why OpenAI’s models needed more control than Triton gave them. What happens inside the system after you send a request. How model-assisted kernel improvements helped cut Sol’s serving costs by 20%. Letting models investigate bugs independently, and deciding when to step in. Why successfully optimizing something can still be a waste of effort. Whether models need an internal representation of how a computer system behaves. How AI assistance opens up experiments that engineers previously couldn’t justify attempting. *Chapters:*   *Follow on*: https://www.turingpost.com/ *Did you like the episode?

He joined OpenAI as an intern in 2019, before it had an API or a product, and spent years improving training efficiency. His interests extend from compilers and kernels to Bertrand Russell and philosophy of mind. Matthew (Matt) Ferrari works on inference efficiency at OpenAI, across request routing, load balancing, debugging and speculative decoding. His fascination with optimization began in school, when GPU programming changed his understanding of how fast an algorithm could run. Today, he brings that curiosity to the entire system serving a model. #openai #inference #optimization

    NVIDIA’s $12.9B Plan to Rule Open-Source AI

    NVIDIA was once so hostile to open source that Linus Torvalds gave the company the finger. Today, it maintains open Linux modules, releases hundreds of models and datasets, and has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion. WHAT?! The change makes sense once we examine what NVIDIA learned from nearly dying with NV1, spending years searching for CUDA’s market, and watching researchers discover deep learning on gaming GPUs. In this episode, we follow that strategy from NV1 and CUDA to NVIDIA’s reported $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, and ask whether the company has found the most profitable model for open-source AI. *Watch it.* 👉 Subscribe for high-signal AI analysis 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/turingpost_tv 👉 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@turingpost_tv 👉 More analysis: https://www.turingpost.com/ 👉 Interviews: @realturingpost Attention Span is here to explain the technical and business choices shaping AI.
