Show Notes
Join Grant Harvey and Corey Noles from The Neuron live on Thursday, July 9 at 10AM PT as we test OpenAI’s new GPT-5.6 model family in real time: Sol, Terra, and Luna.
Instead of just reading benchmark charts, we’re going hands-on with the use cases people should actually try first.
We’ll test: 🛠️ Building a working mini-app from a messy product idea 🧹 Refactoring a broken codebase without babysitting it 🧠 Using Ultra mode as a project manager with subagents ⚙️ Automating one annoying weekly workflow 🥊 Testing Sol vs. Terra vs. Luna on the same job 🔍 Running the same prompts head-to-head against Fable
Also: OpenAI just announced a 10AM PT livestream on July 9 for the next generation of ChatGPT Voice, reportedly featuring an upgraded bidirectional voice model, real-time capabilities, new voice samples, and voice orb colors tied to accent settings.
So we’ll also react to what OpenAI shows, explain what “bidirectional voice” actually means for normal users, and test where voice might finally become useful for work instead of feeling like you’re leaving a voicemail for a robot receptionist.
By the end, you’ll know what to try first, which model to use for which task, and whether GPT-5.6 or the new ChatGPT Voice actually changes your daily AI workflow.

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺
Runway co-founder Anastasis Germanidis explains Solaris, an “interface world model” that generates software frame by frame instead of rendering a traditional interface from HTML and CSS.
OpenAI DevDay 2026 is here, and we’re hosting a watch party to watch the keynote LIVE.
Corey and Grant sit down with Mammoth Biosciences co-founder and CEO Dr. Trevor Martin to explain how CRISPR is moving from a laboratory tool toward one-time medicines.
