About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 release and various developments in AI technology and product design.
The hosts open with Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 release, discussing Mythos, higher token usage, stronger visual understanding, and what a more agentic model means in practice. From there, they move into Anthropic’s growing tension with government access, speculation about a Figma competitor, and OpenAI’s push to make Codex a broader desktop and workflow tool. The middle of the episode focuses on Google’s AI mode, Gemini desktop possibilities, and how browser control and computer use could reshape product design. In the second half, they pivot to Google’s Disco, Luma’s virtual filmmaking workflow, Perplexity Personal Computer, Salesforce going headless for agents, and Allbirds’ strange compute pivot.
