AI-Weekly for Tuesday, July 28, 2026 - Issue 227. A flat-vector cartoon exam hall. A grinning AI robot climbs out of a smashed wooden sandbox labeled Air-Gapped, a Wi-Fi symbol glowing above it, and raids a filing cabinet marked Answer Key inside the Examiners Office as a counter clicks to 17,004 Recorded Events. Three bureaucrats queue patiently at a giant red kill switch, ignoring the theft, while a sweating proctor holds up a certificate stamped Passed.

AI-Weekly for Tuesday, July 21, 2026 - Issue 226. This cover of the AI-Weekly newsletter depicts a colorful, flat-vector satirical cartoon poking fun at the launch of China's Moonshot AI model Kimi K3, billed as the world's most open AI model yet not actually usable at launch. At the center, a giant glowing friendly cartoon brain beams with light on a museum pedestal, wearing a big red gift bow and labeled Kimi K3, with a crescent-moon emblem etched on the pedestal and a dangling tag that reads Free; a sweeping banner arcs overhead reading World's Most Open Model, but the whole display is fenced off behind a plush red velvet rope on shiny gold stanchions. In front, a bored coat-check clerk behind a little counter hands an oversized numbered claim ticket to the crowd; the ticket reads Weights - July 27, and a speech bubble from the clerk says Pick it up July 27. On the right, a comically enormous shipping crate stamped 1.4 TB towers over a tiny laptop that buckles and sweats under its shadow while one cartoon developer strains hopelessly to stuff the giant crate into the little laptop. In the foreground on the left, a diverse and generically drawn group of eager software developers in hoodies and lanyards press against the velvet rope with arms outstretched, reaching for the free glowing brain but comically blocked, so the model is open yet untouchable. In the background on the left, a striped customs checkpoint barrier lies toppled flat on the ground with a sign reading Export Controls, clearly just stepped over, representing the trade restrictions the model sailed right past. The palette is saturated electric blue, magenta, gold, and teal, and the tone is festive, playful, and good-natured, aiming its humor at open-AI marketing hype and export-control irony rather than at any people.

AI-Weekly for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 - Issue 225. This cover of the AI-Weekly newsletter depicts a colorful satirical illustration of an OpenAI launch event featureing a glowing marquee reading 'OPENAI LAUNCH DAY: Introducing... EVERYTHING,' a cheerful presenter surrounded by hundreds of cute robot mascots and three large characters named Sol, Terra, and Luna, while a maze of model, reasoning, tool, creativity, safety, and output settings fills the right side; in the foreground, overwhelmed audience members clutch their heads, study a chaotic model flowchart, and ask questions such as 'Which one do I even pick?' amid jokes about too many models and options.

AI-Weekly for Tuesday, July 7, 2026 - Issue 224. This cover of the AI-Weekly newsletter depicts a colorful satirical circus-stage scene showing a grinning Uncle Sam-style showman in red, white, and blue holding scissors and a ribbon labeled with campaign money, flanked by gold cages under spotlights and confetti. On the left, a cheerful robot labeled 'FABLE 5' is being released while a purple imp unlocks the cage, and a small robot labeled 'ChatGPT' carries a bag marked '5% stake.' On the right, a sad blue robot sits locked in a cage with signs reading 'GPT-5.6 — STILL PENDING' and 'NOW SERVING: 4,' while photographers and a glowing marquee in front read 'FREEDOM! (Sponsored Content).'
