Anthropic drops Opus 4.6. Twenty minutes later, OpenAI fires back with GPT-5.3 Codex. This is the AI agentic coding arms race and it's moving fast. Both AI models are writing code that can write itself now. OpenAI is using 5.3 to improve its own tooling. Opus 4.6 is "voicing discomfort with being a product." We tested both and break down what actually matters for people building stuff. Plus Kling 3.0 is out (and harder to prompt than you think), OpenClaw bots are hiring humans on rent-a-human.ai, Roblox launches prompt-to-3D creation, and robots are now doing 130K step challenges in negative 47 degree weather.

THE MODELS ARE IMPROVING THEMSELVES NOW. EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Google DeepMind dropped Project Genie and you can now walk around AI-generated 3D worlds. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says this is the path to the holodeck. He's not wrong.

Meanwhile Clawd aka ClawdBot and now Moltbot is giving people AI superpowers… spawning agents, teaching itself skills, connecting to everything in your life. It's also a massive security risk and people are spending thousands on API calls. You *probably* shouldn't use it.

Plus… Grok video is suddenly really good, KREA real-time generation, a robot that hip-checks dishwasher drawers, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's sobering new essay, and the dead internet theory is no longer a theory.

THE ROBOTS ARE DOING CHORES NOW. WE'RE SO BACK.

Claude Code is taking over and even the Wall Street Journal is Claude Pilled. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just said we're 6 months from AI doing most software engineering. No big deal.

Claude Code skills are exploding: Remotion for AI video editing, Pencil for infinite design canvases, Compound Engineering for spinning up agent fleets while you sleep. Your $200/month Max subscription doesn't stand a chance.

Plus Apple's working on an AI pin, Runway dropped Gen 4.5, LTX Studio has a wild audio-to-video model, and there's an AI monk with 2.5 million followers selling healing journeys.

WE'RE CLAUDE PILLED NOW. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Apple just handed Siri over to Google Gemini. Meanwhile, Google's Personal Intelligence wants to crawl ALL your data. This is the AI lock-in war of 2026 and you're the prize.

Plus, Claude Cowork dropped (and they built it in two weeks), Grok can no longer put bikinis on people, and the US military is apparently running on Grok 4.20. Cool cool cool.

We've also got the world's biggest Twitch streamer being an AI anime girl, Google's Universal Commerce Protocol making AI shopping actually possible, and Gavin walks through building a personal website with Claude Code that doesn't suck.

THIS IS THE LOCK-IN EPISODE. YOUR DATA IS THE HARNESS.

https://www.gavinpurcell.com/

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do.

NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool.

Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum.

We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration.

THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.

IT'S YET ANOTHER WEEK OF NEW RELEASES! AND WE DON'T STOP.

OpenAI's Sam Altman has called a 'Code Red' at the AI giant as Google Gemini 3 might be overtaking them. But new models 'Garlic' and 'Shallotpeat' might leapfrog them back in front.

Plus, Kling's new O1 and Video 2.6 AI video models are both good and, well, not so good. And Runway Gen 4.5 seems interesting but not out to everyone yet. Meanwhile, Sora 2 users are busy generating fake clips of 'Bird Game 3' and Chinese robotics start-up EngineAI brings forth their T-800 model which might as well be The Terminator.

IS IT TIME TO FREAK OUT ABOUT ROBOTS? MAYBE. MAYBE IT IS.

Gemini Pro 3 and Nano Banana Pro push Google into the lead in the race for AGI. Meanwhile, OpenAI isn't far behind with GPT-5.1 Pro & Codex Max. The AI news is relentless! Nano Banana Pro's ability to make infographics and edit images is nearly unprecedented and, combined with Gemini 3's analytical abilities, makes us feel all tingly inside. Web design, vibe coded games, there is so much cool stuff to get into. Plus, OpenAI's updates GPT-5.1 and a cool new tool from Meta called Segment Anything 3. And, of course, who could forget the cutest lil robots. No terminators today folks!

TIME TO NANO BANANA OURSELVES INTO OBLIVION. WAIT, THAT SOUNDED BAD.

OpenAI released GPT-5.1 with updates to vision, ChatGPT personalities and, most importantly, vibes while Google's Nanobanana 2 and Gemini 3 Pro gently start leaking incredible results.

Plus, Disney is ok with AI content on Disney+, Grok Imagine gets a big update, a very cool new 3D world simulator from World Labs, the number one song country song right now is an AI music creation and, in China, they're cooking up Xenomorphs. WE'RE GETTING TO THE GOOD STUFF NOW BABY! ALSO, WE'RE TIRED.
