Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4.7, what’s new with this release? This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Chris Hay, Abraham Daniels and Lauren McHugh-Ollende. First, a special segment with Chris Hay and Aili McConnon analyze Anthropic's surprise release of Claude Opus 4.7 and what it means for the AI model race. Next, Apple is back with a bold three-pronged wearables strategy—AI-powered glasses, enhanced AirPods, and a camera pendant. Will Apple get AI wearables right? Then, a fascinating Gallup poll reveals AI adoption is surging in the workplace—half of American workers now use AI regularly. Later, Google DeepMind released critical research on harmful manipulation. Can AI exploit our vulnerabilities to trick us into bad decisions? Finally, in one of the wildest pivots we've seen, Allbirds is becoming an AI compute infrastructure company. All that and more on this week's Mixture of Experts.

First, Microsoft, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Cloudflare follow TypeSafe’s Jev in building decision models, a new category of AI built to make fast, scored judgments. The panel debates whether these models are truly new or a more efficient application of existing technology, and whether better-calibrated confidence scores can help address the overconfidence problem in LLMs. Next, a new study finds that teams of AI agents can cost two to five times more than a single agent without consistently delivering better results. The panel discusses when multiple agents are worth the added cost and complexity. Finally, Anthropic updates its usage policy to prohibit “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models, raising a bigger question: Is this about protecting AI, shaping human behavior, or something else entirely? The panel considers the ethical implications and whether the policy could also be a marketing play.
