Is Claude Code having its ChatGPT moment?

This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Chris Hay, Gabe Goodhart and Francesco Brenna to unpack the shifts happening in AI as 2026 kicks off. First, OpenAI confirms ads are coming to ChatGPT, raising questions about trust, economics and the future of AI product models. Next, Claude Code is exploding in popularity! Developers are discovering what agentic coding can really do, and it's transforming how software gets built. Then, we analyze a new report from IBM’s Institute for Business Value— “The enterprise in 2030”, which reveals how executives are planning to shift from AI-driven efficiency to AI-powered innovation. Finally, Hugging Face launches Open Responses, a new standard for agent APIs that could reshape AI development while raising questions about transparency and control.

All that and more on this week's Mixture of Experts to learn more.

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.
