Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

Every major AI lab signed the Open Weights letter defending open models. Meta, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia.

Anthropic was the only holdout.

Yesterday, its CEO, Dario Amodei, published a thoughtful defense of that decision to not fully support open weight or open source models. 

Here's what nobody's connecting: the money trail. 

Roughly 80% of Anthropic's revenue is businesses paying per t...

Over 3 hours, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AND Microsoft all dropped new AI upgrades that are live. 

How you use AI in your work literally changes every day, as frontier labs are racing to roll out big quality of life updates between big model drops. 

How can you keep up?

Over 3 hours, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AND Microsoft all dropped new AI upgrades that are live. 

How you use AI in your work literally changes every day, as frontier labs are racing to roll out big quality of life updates between big model drops. 

How can you keep up? 

With our Friday Features show, where we break down the latest AI updates that are live and available to all, and we tell you how...

OpenAI launched Presence, and it seems like no one really noticed. 

They should have.

Presence gives companies a way to build and manage real-time AI voice and chat agents across customer service, sales, HR, and IT, which could make this one of OpenAI’s most important enterprise launches yet.

The technology finally looks fast, natural, and capable enough to disrupt customer service at scale. 

Claude Design went viral at launch, but has been kinda crickets since. 🦗

So, we're gonna show you why some of the recent updates from Claude Design deserve your attention. 

Claude Design has gone from a cool party trick into a must-have tool in any designer's (or non-designer's) toolbox. 

It allows you to create any type of design with natural language, basic feedback, and straightforward iteration.&...

A U.S. vs China AI cold war is starting, and most business leaders have no idea they're already in it.

China's open models just closed the gap with America's best, oftentimes at a fraction of the price.

Now both governments are moving to wall off their AI within days of each other.

Why? Because this was never about benchmarks. It's about power y'all. 

We break it all down on today's show and help yo...

There’s (another) new open source king of AI. 👑

Kimi’s K3 might shake the open source landscape, but we’ll tell you why it’ll probably have less of an impact than you might think. 

That probably wasn’t the biggest news of the week in AI world, though, as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reportedly torched Anthropic. 

(Which might seem normal from AI company to AI company, but...

Is Kimi K3 the shocker of 2026? 

Could be. 

Now, we have a new (soon to be) Open Model that’s competing with Fable 5 and GPT-5.6, a feat few would have believed possible. 

And that was the only new and important drop this week in AI. 

Claude brought useful browser to the desktop, ChatGPT made a big fix to how ChatGPT Work works and Google rolled out avatars that could change con...

You've probably never heard of Inkling. 

It's the newest (and first) model from Thinking Machines Labs, and it could very well be a small snowball that picks up major momentum in today's enterprise AI landscape. 

If you haven’t heard of Thinking Machines, they’re led by Mira Murati, the former CTO at OpenAI. 

The big bet with Inkling? 

The future of AI could be using small...

OpenAI's new ChatGPT Work is on fire. 🔥

The company said they've added 2 million users in the past two days alone. 

Wanna know a secret about it though? 

(It's kinda not new at all. It's just Codex in Chat clothing.) 

Regardless, millions of new users are realizing for the first time what it means to have an agent that can work for them 24/7. And even if you're not a technical builder, it...

Of course you need data to fuel your AI. You know what's just as helpful though? 🤔

Decisions. 

And the conversation and rationale behind it.

As agents become more mainstream, the required structured data only goes so far. 

↳ What about how your team makes decisions? 
↳ Or the real reasons why one RFP landed and one flopped? 
↳ Or where Deborah in accounting keeps saving that KP...

Anthropic had a really bad week. 🥺

First of all, Claude Fable 5 got knocked off at the top by OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol. 

Then? 

Both Meta and Grok came for Anthorpic's API coding pie. 

Yikes. 

But in between the fights for tokens, we also go some big name lawsuits, weird study results and AI that talks to you more like a person than a robot. 

ChatGPT’s 5.6 Sol, G...

Of course GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s best model yet. ☀️

Every new model is.

The real story is what OpenAI did around it.

Codex got a friendlier name, a broader audience, and a much bigger job.

ChatGPT Work is not just another mode.

It is OpenAI merging chat, coding, browsing, files, plugins, and actions into one work super app.

Today’s Everyday AI breaks down what actually changed,...

All eyes will be on GPT-5.6 Sol today. ☀️

But some might argue, that won't even be the ChatGPT maker's biggest release this week. 

That's because we finally have conversational AI that just works in OpenAI's new GPT-Live model inside ChatGPT. 

And that's not the only big release this week: we had big drops from Meta, Grok, Google and more. 

The most important move you can make each week is...

Doomscrolling vertical videos is just brain rot, right? 🥴

Not anymore. 

NotebookLM just released its new AI-powered vertical video shorts tool that changes individualized learning on the go. 

We know what you're thinking: I'm not a student -- why do I need short-form video? 

Well, that's exactly why we're dishing our 5 best business use-cases and 5 tips to get expert results right away.&n...

AI’s all-you-can-eat era is ending. 🍲

For years, one subscription felt like unlimited access to frontier models.

But that business model for the AI labs apparently breaks when agents can now run for days, use tools, retry work and burn through tokens.

And with Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 model exiting subscription tiers today and moving to API only pricing, it's as imperative of a time as ever to figure...

This was upside down week in AI news. 😵

Microsoft is starting a new AI company. 

Anthropic is getting into pharma and drugs. 

And OpenAI might be giving 5% equity to the U.S. government? 

We'll help you sort it all out on our AI News That Matters show. 

Fable 5 is (kinda) Back, OpenAI Might Give Gov Equity, Microsoft’s new AI Company and more AI News -- An Everyday AI Ch...

Fable 5 is out, but it'll be gone (again) before you know it. 

While Anthropic's powerful Mythos 5 is out for the masses for another 5 days, it might be their Sonnet 5 model that's your next daily driver. 

Even better news? If you're an iPhone user, your OpenClaw and Cursor accounts are gonna get a lot more use. 

Yeah, it's a short Holiday week in the U.S., but the AI companies didn't stop shippi...

Here's a little secret: ChatGPT tasks are the Gateway Agent. 🤖

(And you've probably been overlooking the recent update that made them crazy powerful.) 

About two weeks ago, OpenAI announced the sunset of its proactive Pulse feature and instead folded those efforts in an upgraded version of their previously released ChatGPT Tasks. 

An d while most overlooked the actual new features in Tasks, it's actu...
