5 different models dropped last week & the GPT-5.6 usage limits are brutal
Jul 14, 20262h 6mEp. 17S1
This week Grok 4.5, Muse Spark 1.1, GPT-Live, and GPT 5.6 all dropped. Theo and Ben break down which models you should care about, how OpenAI fumbled the Codex to ChatGPT app transition, the abysmal usage numbers
We've spent six figures in tokens testing OpenAI's 5.6 Sol model to see whether if its better than Fable and what OpenAI have done to make it even better than 5.5. Also, we breakdown why we both moved our agents to Linux
Fable was supposed to give us 14 days and instead we got 3 before the export ban. Now it's back at half the rate limits. Also, we break down why AI-generated Claude Code skills fall apart, what actually triggers Fable-to
A new "government-approved rollout" for GPT-5.6 is coming, and it's got us wondering: are we entering the next dark age of AI model access? Additionally, we break down the launch of T3 Code x Grok CLI, Apple's price hike
The US government banned Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models just after launch so we break down exactly how Project Glass Wing, a panicked AWS engineer, and Dario's failure to communicate with Washington triggered the ch

Opus 4.8 + a ton of new stuff in Claude Code dropped this week, and we actually kinda like it. There's also a new benchmark that's actually good, and we have a lot of thoughts about the future of these AI labs... Thank y
Not only did Google accidentally ban Railway's account, but their new flagship model Gemini 3.5 Flash is absurdly bad. Oh and apparently Theo's building his own cloud... Thank you Macroscope and GT for sponsoring today's
How the OpenClaw creator uses $1.3 million of tokens
May 20, 20261h 9mEp. 8S1
Peter, the creator of openclaw is apparently going through $1,300,000 worth of tokens every month. Seems like we're not using nearly enough tokens. Oh and the security psychosis is getting worse. (Anthropic is being bad
Anthropic solved their compute problem by buying it from Elon?
May 14, 20261h 36mEp. 7S1
Anthropic seems to have finally solved their compute problems (kinda) by buying it from Elon, the security problem is getting so much worse, and apparently Bun's getting re-written in rust? Thank you to PostHog and Compo
