🎙️ EP 70: GPT-5’s “Apple Moment”, $1.5M AI Talent War, Microsoft’s Model Thinks for Itself
GPT-5 is finally here — OpenAI’s first unified model that’s now in the hands of 700M people for free. But does it really crush the competition… or is Elon Musk right that Grok 4 Heavy was already smarter two weeks ago?
We’ll talk about:
- What’s truly new in GPT-5 and where it actually wins (and loses) against Claude, Gemini, and Grok
- Elon Musk’s jab that kicked off another round in the AI model rivalry
- Microsoft’s CLIO — a self-adapting AI that can rethink and reroute its reasoning in real time
- Why OpenAI just dropped $1.5M per employee to keep top talent from jumping ship
Keywords: GPT-5, Grok 4 Heavy, Claude Opus, Microsoft CLIO, AI talent war, OpenAI, Anthropic, AI benchmarks
