In this episode, we dive deep into MCP UI - the revolutionary technology that could transform ChatGPT from a text-only experience to a rich, interactive interface where brands can bring their own UI components directly into AI conversations. We explore the implications for e-commerce, user experience, and whether this is the future of human-AI interaction or just over-engineering. Plus, we discuss the next frontier: Large Behavioral Models that are powering the new generation of humanoid robots from companies like Helix, Tesla's Optimus, and Boston Dynamics, and examine how these advances might soon bring robotics into our everyday lives.

In this episode of the Better Stack Podcast, we sit down with Hao Sheng, founder of Expertise.ai, to talk about how AI can transform the way businesses interact with their customers. Hao shares his journey from building early chatbot systems at Google to creating “human business interfaces” that turn static websites into dynamic, personalized experiences. We also explore what’s next for conversational AI and Hao’s vision for the future of human–AI interaction.

In this episode of the Better Stack Podcast, the team dives into the latest developments in AI tooling and models. They explore the new AI SDK and AI Elements library, discuss the stealth release of Sonic (aka Grok’s CodeFast), and break down OpenAI’s GPT real-time API and its potential uses. Andris takes us behind the scenes of LLMs, sharing the hilarious Golden Gate Bridge neuron story and his own quest to create a Chuck Norris model. The crew also debates AGI hype, jailbreak exploits, and wraps things up with some surprisingly tricky JavaScript date trivia.

Join James, Richard, and Andris as they dive deep into the explosive ChatGPT-5 release that left developers fuming! Discover why the "PhD-level coding AI" fell flat in real-world tests, the controversial router system that routes to older models, and how OpenAI's Apple-style marketing backfired spectacularly. Then buckle up for a wild ride through the AI coding tools battlefield—why Claude Code is crushing the competition, the shocking truth about benchmark manipulation, and which CLI tools are actually worth your time. Finally, explore the chaotic world of AI agent protocols where everyone's trying to create the next MCP, featuring crypto-wallet AI disasters and the dystopian future where AI browsers might kill the internet economy as we know it!
