In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla take on one of the most heated weeks in tech and AI. From the Google Pixel 10 vs. Apple iPhone 17 showdown to Microsoft finally putting real AI power into Excel, the race to dominate the future of devices and productivity tools is getting intense.
The conversation also digs into the promise — and risks — of agentic browsers that act on your behalf online, raising big questions about privacy, autonomy, and safety. And to end on a lighter (but no less fascinating) note: meet your robot ping-pong partner — a glimpse at the playful side of robotics.

In this episode, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla explore the wildest edges of AI and robotics in 2025.
We cover Google’s quirky “nano-banana” release, xAI’s spicy new Grok tools (and Musk’s surprise launch of Macrohard), and why OpenAI’s IQ-beating GPT-5 is rewriting the rules.
From Unitree’s domination at the Humanoid Robot Olympics to Meta’s next-gen vision model, Anthropic’s coding tutor, and Perplexity’s secret web-scraping scandal, we unpack what’s hype, what’s real, and what’s just a little unhinged.
We also dive into China’s latest world-building AI engines, Nvidia’s 53× speed breakthrough, and how to keep AI from spiraling into psychosis.
Tune in for the freshest updates on Big Tech, robots that sprint faster than you, and the strange future of AI nations.

In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla dive into one of the most explosive weeks in AI so far. OpenAI stunned the community with a rare double launch, releasing GPT-5 alongside brand-new open-weights models, and the ripple effects are already being felt across the tech world. DeepMind’s Genie-3 is here too, offering playable, promptable, physically consistent worlds that could change how games and simulations are built. We also explore how CRISPR-GPT is turning complete beginners into gene-editing experts in just a single day, and why some jaw-dropping robot dog demos are making people wonder if it’s time to rethink where this is all heading.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla break down the biggest AI news from Microsoft Build and Google I/O 2025.
From Microsoft’s Copilot Chat going open-source and turning VS Code into an AI-native IDE…
To Google launching Gemini 2.5 Flash, DeepThink, and GM3N — multimodal models running on just 4GB RAM
Plus: Google’s new tools for async coding (Jules), generative design (Stitch), and even the groundbreaking Video 3 — an AI that generates full speech, characters, and cinema-quality scenes.
We explore:
• Agent infrastructure at OS and browser level
• AI-powered video creation that's nearly indistinguishable from reality
• The race between Big Tech and open source in democratizing AI
• Whether this new wave of models is laying the perceptual groundwork for AGI
