The Neuron: AI Explained

Show Notes

OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺

We’re going to break down what OpenAI announced, what actually matters, and what could change how you use AI.

šŸ¤– OPENAI DEVDAY 2026

OpenAI’s biggest reveal was Dots, always-on AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. They get their own cloud computer, connect to 4,000+ apps, learn how you work, and keep working in the background.

OpenAI also unveiled ChatGPT Space, collaborative Pages and Slides, Codex in the cloud, the Decisions API, plugin extensions, a $500 Pro plan, and more.

Then there’s GPT-6.1 Sol, which OpenAI says gets close to Astra-level performance on coding, computer use, and professional work at roughly one-fifth of Astra’s standard token price.

šŸ“° AND THAT’S NOT ALL...

We’ll also get into: ⚔ Claude Sonnet 5.5, Anthropic’s faster, cheaper Sonnet update. šŸŒŽ AMD buying Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs for $8.2B. šŸ›”ļø NVIDIA’s new agent safety system with hardware-level monitoring. šŸ¢ Meta’s new enterprise AI business around Muse, Muse Code, Business Agent, and more. šŸ¤– Manus 2.0 + Cue, including personal agents with their own computer, phone number, email, and wallet.

šŸ”„ Plus whatever AI news happens before we go live.

What happened? What can you actually use? And are we about to have tiny armies of AI employees running around the internet for us?

Come hang, ask questions, and disagree with us in chat. šŸ‘‡

More from The Neuron: AI Explained

Oct 21, 2026

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.
