Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: While you were asleep: Formlabs launched the Form Studio 1, a $699 desktop resin 3D printer pitched at hobbyists.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Anthropic is adding templates to Claude for Legal for verifying citations, comparing laws and checking contracts.
GRANT BRICKMAN: And Samsung's quarterly operating profit rose nearly ninefold to 107.4 trillion won, yet shares still fell.
GRANT BRICKMAN: GTA 6 may need 210 gigabytes of your hard drive, says a leak. Time to clean up.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good morning, everybody. Rockstar's big game has a big number today, and Gary is down in the mine to weigh it. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: A leak says GTA 6 needs 210 gigabytes. It comes from PlayStation Game Size on Twitter, which names no source of its own. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Two hundred ten gigabytes! Greta, does that fit in the cloud, or do we wait for a clear day? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: *sigh* Grant, it goes on your console's drive. The account is seen as reliable on sizes, but Rockstar has said nothing. ▶
GARY: Live from the block world. 210 gigabytes is a chest with no free slots. I rate the leak four stars. It is getting dark, but fine. ▶
GARY: Something just landed on my helmet. Anyway: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is nearly 150 gigabytes, Destiny 2 nearly 180. GTA 6 tops both. ▶
GARY: The article says even if the leak is a few gigabytes off, GTA 6 is unlikely to be far from that. Clear space before nightfall. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Until Rockstar says a number, it's a claim, not a figure on a box. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Make room, everyone. I'm starting with my voicemail. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: NVIDIA's open transcription model speaks 40 languages. Our panel has thoughts for new viewers.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Good morning. For viewers just joining: we first told you about NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe Thursday 06:47 today. Now, the panel. ▶
ADA: Huge fan of the plumbing. One model, 40 languages, recordings up to an hour, and a text instruction picks the style. One tool instead of three. ▶
GARY: I rate it four out of five. Verbatim, written form, speaker-attributed, contextual, translated: it's basically a difficulty menu. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The report argues there is no single correct transcript, because numbers and fillers depend on who reads the output. ▶
ADA: Would it survive a first prototype? The 4.71% English error rate is NVIDIA's own number, so I'd test it on my bench first. ▶
GARY: The name says 30B but the checkpoint holds about 34B. That's a boss with a hidden second health bar. ▶
ADA: Gary, it's the 1.3B MTP module plus the audio parts. A spare bracket, not a boss. ▶
GARY: 256 H100 GPUs, 28,500 steps, then 400 updates. That's grinding levels. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: All the figures are self-reported by NVIDIA, and weights ship in BF16, FP8, NVFP4 and GGUF. Our poll: trust it, or test it? ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: The Feed: three Python repos climbing GitHub this morning, with Kai reacting.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good morning. This is The Feed: what is climbing on GitHub among the Python projects. Vera has the board. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Number one, HKUDS DeepTutor, 2,371 stars today. Its description: lifelong personalized tutoring. 87 releases and 242 contributors. ▶
KAI: VoiceStudio: 10,205 forks and 46 releases, all local. Huge. I only ask that the mic is not on a bad USB-C cable. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Heretic's description reads fully automatic censorship removal for language models. Five releases, last one four months ago. That's all the card says. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: A tutor, a studio and a heretic walk into a repository. I'd watch that film, Greta. ▶
BILLY MAYHEM: Is your AI RUDE to you? Are YOU rude to IT? Pleasify! We say please so you do not have to!
PRUDENCE NUANCE: On the one hand, courteous. On the other hand, four hundred credits for a comma.
BILLY MAYHEM: But wait! We also say THANK YOU, in a warm voice, at no extra charge! Just kidding, it is extra!
