AI-Podden News – October

In this October AI news roundup, our host Ather Gattami sits down with Anders Arpteg to unpack the latest AI releases, Sweden's growing AI infrastructure, AI for Science, and a new milestone in human–AI interaction. The conversation covers Google's latest Gemini models, including the rollout of Gemini 4 Argon and the announcement of Gemini 4 Carbon, the recent AI progress in solving important problems in Science, alongside the launch of Sferical One, a shared AI supercomputer built for some of Sweden's leading industrial companies.

They also discuss Tavus's Griffin, a real-time conversational video model that the company claims is the first to pass a video Turing test. From increasingly capable models to AI systems that can see, listen, and respond in face-to-face conversations, the episode explores what these developments mean for AI's capabilities, industrial adoption, and the way people interact with machines.
