About this episode

The episode discusses four new AI models and their implications for the future of work.

Four major new AI models arrived this week, each pointing toward a different future of work—from natural voice assistants and ultra-fast coding agents to cheaper implementation models and powerful new daily workhorses. Here’s what GPT Live, Grok 4.5, Cognition SWE-1.7, and GPT-5.6 Sol reveal about how we’ll choose, combine, and work with AI models next.
