Episode Summary:

Dara and Matthew spend a week putting OpenAI through its paces (ChatGPT, Codex and deep research) against their daily driver, Claude. A blind four-way experiment building a running-race predictor surfaces a clear split: deep research goes to OpenAI, while coding and long-horizon agent work stay with Claude. They close with a stick-or-twist verdict, taking in Anthropic's recursive self-improvement claims, a near-trillion-dollar valuation, Microsoft's own models, and the case for renaming everything Clippy.
