What GPT Images 2 Unlocks

About this episode

This episode discusses the implications of OpenAI's GPT Image 2 and its role in the agentic stack, along with notable AI news.

OpenAI's GPT Image 2 topped the LM Arena leaderboard by a record 242 points, but the real story is how it fits the agentic stack. This episode digs into the image-to-code workflows driving most of the excitement and where reasoning over images still falls short. In the headlines: SpaceX's new deal with Cursor, an unauthorized group's access to Claude Mythos, and a big upgrade to Google's Deep Research.
