Good morning. It's Tuesday, October the twentieth.

SpaceX Super Intelligence did not post a new model in this window.

Anthropic's own account did not post in this window.

OpenAI says its latest models are better at building and migrating software in COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. Those languages still run banks, governments, and businesses.

The company asked teams in those systems which languages and workflows should be next.

The room. People who have maintained those systems are quoting the post. The serious line: don't rewrite it. Understand it, then move the part that can move.

Nvidia AI posted that it has been with PyTorch since day zero. Fifty million monthly downloads, with CUDA support. The PyTorch Conference in North America is this week.

The room. The number people are repeating is fifty million.

The Gemini team built a playable 3D wizard chess game with Gemini 4 Argon, using Antigravity, in the Gemini app for Mac. A multi-agent Blender workflow did the modeling and the animation.

The room. Some people want the file. Some people want to know if the pieces follow the rules.

OpenAI on the old languages. Nvidia on PyTorch. Google on a chessboard. SpaceX and Anthropic did not post.

That's Good Morning AI for Tuesday, October the twentieth.
