Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

OpenAI has a new model coming soon called Astra. 

Was it a leak? 

A reddit post? 

Some backdoor update? 

Nope, OpenAI made some crazy discoveries and math then told the world that their next model family Astra did the heavy lifting. 

(And you thought you could just click ‘Sol’ and your strategy was set for Q3?) 

Aside from news on what’s next from OpenAI, this week saw multiple new agent outbreaks, AI competitors banning together to pace AI, Amazon doing a 180 on its AI strategy and a lot more. 

Don’t get left behind. We’ll keep you ahead. 

OpenAI’s new Astra model, more AI agents escape sandboxes, AI leaders call for AI pacing and more. AI News That Matters for August 3 — An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan Wilson

Agents are getting more powerful by the day. 

And most workflows, outputs and human capabilities can't keep up. 

Is that a problem or opportunity? 

Before you answer that question, though, keep this in mind. 

Agents are *literally* about to become 20X faster overnight. 

Let's unpack what that means.

People are calling the new ChatGPT Voice their “AGI moment.” 🤖

After testing it over the past week, I understand why.

It seems like the missing link between the ever-capable desktop agent and the human worker not having to type in front of said desktop all day. 

It’s less like “voice mode” and more like having your own JARVIS.

After testing thousands of AI tools, this has instantly become one of the most useful features I’ve ever used. 

Tune in as we put AI to Work on Wednesdays and go hands-on with the new hands-free ChatGPT Voice.

Every major AI lab signed the Open Weights letter defending open models. Meta, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia.

Anthropic was the only holdout.

Yesterday, its CEO, Dario Amodei, published a thoughtful defense of that decision to not fully support open weight or open source models. 

Here's what nobody's connecting: the money trail. 

Roughly 80% of Anthropic's revenue is businesses paying per token. Free Chinese open models attack that exact revenue stream weeks before Anthropic is set to go public. 

On today's show we break down what Dario actually said, what he said before, and why we think this was written for Washington policymakers and not for the rest of us.

Anthropic Responds: Why Claude’s CEO didn't sign the open model pact and the real reasons why -- An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan Wilson
