About this episode

The episode discusses OpenAI's new ChatGPT Work and its implications for knowledge work and efficiency in AI.

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Work brings the agentic systems that transformed coding into the broader world of knowledge work, allowing AI to operate across apps, files, and long-running projects. NLW breaks down what the new harness means, how GPT-5.6 compares with Fable 5, and why efficiency has suddenly become the defining battleground in the model race. In the headlines: Cursor expands beyond coding, OpenAI rejects a leading coding benchmark, and Meta accelerates its AI infrastructure push.
