  #243: GPT-6 Sol and Luna, Opus 5.5, the New Microsoft Copilot, Jensen Huang vs. AI Doomers & Introducing AI Score

  Sep 29, 20261h 31m

  Three big model updates landed at once, GPT-6 Sol and Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, and Microsoft's redesigned Copilot, and the story isn't raw intelligence, it's reliability, efficiency, and a new "per-task pricing" mindset. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput break down what that means for your work. Then: Jensen Huang's case against the AI doomers from his Ezra Klein interview, a first look at AI Score by SmarterX, and a rapid-fire run through Meta Connect, Amazon blocking Muse, OpenAI's rogue-agent disclosures, and more.

These systems silently underperform through cognitive failures —misreadings, unverified claims, and false consensus—that conventional monitoring can't detect.  Outshift by Cisco is building the fix, the Internet of Cognition. An open source foundation for building multi-agent systems from design to production with shared context, shared memory, and guardrails to drive the results we actually expect from AI.  Read the paper, experience the demo, grab the code from Outshift.com.
