  • “o3 doesn’t just answer questions—it brainstorms original ideas and fixes bugs like a real developer.”

  • This episode dives deep into OpenAI’s latest breakthrough: the O-series models, o3 and o4 Mini. But this isn't just a technical upgrade. According to top researchers, it's a qualitative leap—a shift in how AI reasons, creates, and interacts with the world.

    We break down why these models are turning heads across the AI world. From solving PhD-level science questions to debugging real-world code in a live dev environment, o3 isn't just smart—it's useful in entirely new ways.

    You'll hear about:

    • The model that made 600 tool calls to solve a single problem

    • An AI that analyzed a blurry physics poster and connected it to cutting-edge research

    • How it synthesized coral reef audio science into a personalized insight

    • Why it now ranks among the top 200 coders worldwide

    • And how it’s transforming programming itself through Codeex CLI, a new local AI coding agent

    But what’s most jaw-dropping? These models aren’t just retrieving facts—they’re generating novel ideas, refining their own thinking, and even evaluating uncertainty like a seasoned researcher.

    With huge gains in reasoning, multimodal understanding, and efficiency (o3 trained with 10x more compute), this isn’t a step forward—it’s a step into a new paradigm.

    If you’ve ever wondered what happens when AI stops mimicking and starts thinking, this is the episode to hear.

    🎧 Hit play and discover how the frontier of intelligence just got redrawn.
