Comments

If k is the average of two positive cubes, then k^4 is also the average of two positive cubes. So this sequence focuses on the solutions that are not trivial.

Example

329 is a term because 329 is not the average of two positive cubes while 329^4 = (1833^3 + 2585^3)/2.

Maple

Q:=  proc(x) local t;
  for t in select(t -> t^3<=x and 4*t^3 > x and x/t - t^2 mod 3 = 0,
        numtheory:-divisors(x)) do
    if issqr((x/t - t^2)/3)  then return true fi
  od:
  false
end proc:
select(x -> not(Q(x)) and Q(x^4), [$1..10000]); # Robert Israel, May 26 2016

Mathematica

Q[x_] := Module[{s, t}, s = Select[Divisors[x], #^3 <= x && 4*#^3 > x && Mod[x/# - #^2, 3] == 0 &]; For[t = 1, t <= Length[s], t++, If[IntegerQ@Sqrt[(x/s[[t]] - s[[t]]^2)/3],  Return[True]]]; False];
Reap[For[x = 1, x <= 10000, x++, If[!Q[x] && Q[x^4], Print[x]; Sow[x]]]][[2, 1]] (* Jean-François Alcover, May 18 2023, after Robert Israel *)
