Show Notes
Anthropic seems to have finally solved their compute problems (kinda) by buying it from Elon, the security problem is getting so much worse, and apparently Bun's getting re-written in rust?

More from Nerd Snipe with Theo and Ben
Theo & Ben are back this week to talk all about how Meta's Muse Wonder is here to impress and it seems like Google still can't make a frontier model! We're breaking it all down, including the random appearance of the Tesla Roadster!
With OpenAI’s new $500 plan lands alongside reduced subscription value, Theo and Ben explain why cheaper tokens aren’t making DevDay feel like a win, T3 Code's new Orchestrator setup, and more!
Theo and Ben break down a packed week of AI releases, from Opus 5.5's insane release to Grok 4.7 falling short of the hype. They then dig into why post-training matters, where Jev, GPT-6 Sol, and Luna fit, and more!
Theo & Ben break down Jacob Coxon's resignation after three years in pretraining at OpenAI and Anthropic—and his warning that both labs are racing toward AGI and gambling with our lives—along with Dario's latest blog post about pacing the frontier and how Apple's iPhone Duo could have ruined app development (if AI didn't exist).
Theo & Ben break down their latest thoughts on how Astra and Fable 5.1's releases have changed the way they work, how they interact in T3 Code, and then circle back to the latest with Codex usage limits, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Muse Spark 1.3, and the growing gap between model benchmarks and real coding workflows.
