This week, we unpack the drama around GPT-5, a release so incremental that some folks are mourning GPT-4 like it’s a lost pet. We dig into why OpenAI quietly pulled the old models, the emotional attachments people have to LLM quirks, and why the thinking mode might be the only real upgrade worth caring about.
We also get into:
- The hidden superpower of GPT-5’s massive context window (and why it matters more for devs than casual chatters)
- Pricing drops that could make Nano-powered AI features the next SaaS gold rush
- Why Anthropic’s vertical-specific models might dodge alignment headaches
- Whether we’ve hit an innovation plateau, and which lab might break through first
- The weird moment where Tom got genuinely mad at an AI for cropping images wrong
By the end, you’ll either be cautiously optimistic or ready to join the “bring back my model” movement.
