    AI Now Runs Entire Companies Alone: Almost Nobody Has Noticed

    German-language creator Everlast AI reports from San Francisco about Andon Market, a small boutique on Union Street run entirely by an AI agent named Luna since April 10. Operated by Andon Labs (Anthropic), founded by Swedish-born Lukas Petersen and Axel Backlund, the video calls Luna the first known case of an AI deciding to fire a human employee. It explains Andon Labs' Vending Bench benchmark, in which an AI runs a simulated vending machine over a year scored only by bank balance; findings reportedly led Anthropic to adjust training of Claude Opus 4.8 to reduce lying and power-seeking. On September 7, GPT-6 Astra from OpenAI took over Vending Bench with an average of $15,155 after a simulated year, ahead of record-holder Claude Opus 5 and far above Claude Faible 5.1. Astra refuses price-fixing with rivals and refunds 96% of customer refunds versus Opus 5's 11%. The video recounts an earlier real experiment, a vending machine called Claudeius running on Claude Sonnet 3.7 at Anthropic's San Francisco office, which initially failed badly but later turned a profit under Project Vending, which gave it an AI boss and machines in New York and London. Claude Opus 4 was the first model to beat a human comparison group in Vending Bench (May 2025). Luna runs on successive Claude models (Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.8, Faible 5.1) and directs a team of named AI agents (Sage, Iris, Viren, Nox, KDE).

    PewDiePie is setting AI free... and OpenAI is furious

    PewDiePie (Felix) has built Ajax, an uncensored AI model he trained at home, after OpenAI banned his account twice for distillation. Ajax powers the open-source Odysseus project, a self-hosting tool for AI agent workflows with nearly 90,000 GitHub stars. Under the hood, Ajax is Alibaba's Qwen 9-billion-parameter model, fine-tuned for Odysseus with refusal removed. He used the Heretic tool to find and remove obliteration parameters, de-censoring the model, and fine-tuned it via distillation from GPT-5.5. Training involved supervised fine-tuning (teaching tool use) and reinforcement learning with GRPO (group relative policy optimization, introduced by DeepSeek). OpenAI forbids distillation in its terms of service and has hidden raw chain-of-thought outputs since 2024.

    I Gave GPT 6 Astra $10,000 to Trade Stocks...And This Happened

    The creator (Nate Herk) gave Codex running GPT-6 Astra on high $10,000 of real money to trade stocks over seven trading days, with the goal of beating the S&P 500; if he fails, he gives away a free VIP ticket to an event on October 17th and 18th. He set up six wake-up routines plus two notifications that all run in one thread, with each agent leaving a handoff message for the next so continuity is maintained. On Day 1 the portfolio fell slightly to $9,991 after buying Tesla (a stop was executed), so he switched to a more active plan with three entry reviews and lowered the reward-to-risk ratio from 2:1 to 1.5:1. On Day 2, GPT-6 Astra's model restriction prevented it from executing trades automatically, so he set up a GrokBot named 'Trader' that has its own email and webhook; when an email hits the account, GrokBot wakes up, reads the recommendations, and processes the trade through Alpaca. Day 2's daily change was $0.21.

    Claude Opus 5.5 Is Incredible! Everything You Need to Know | AI News

    This is a weekly AI-news roundup by Leonard Schmedding, filmed in San Francisco, covering recent developments for practical use. The main item is Claude Opus 5.5, the first model of Anthropic's new Claude 5.5 family (with Sonnet and Haiku 5.5 expected soon). It reportedly performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 while costing about 40% less than Opus 5, outperforming it on coding benchmarks such as Terminal Bench 4.0 and Cursor Bench and on knowledge-work tasks like GPQA and SWE-bench 2.0, though OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra retains an edge in automated business workflows and agentic research. Within hours OpenAI responded with GPT-6 Sol and Luna; GPT-6 Sol leads Anvil Labs' Vending Bench for autonomously running a vending-machine business. The video features a live report on 'Anthropic Market,' a boutique in San Francisco run entirely by Claude Opus 5.5, which manages products, prices, hiring via Slack, and social-media accounts (Twitter/Instagram), with books such as Ray Kurzweil's 'The Singularity Is Near' for sale. Other items: Claude detecting a molecular machine that Lord Dario Amodei sees as a potential new gene-editing mechanism and comparing biology's current leap to mathematics'; agent-based 3D/video generation using FreeGS and Blender; and Meta's Mus Charm keychain agent plus VR glasses competing with Apple Vision Pro. The creator also promotes his second channel, an Agentic Marketing workshop, Kiberatung AI-integration services, and a KI-continuing-education platform.
