In this episode, we discuss OpenAI making GPT Four-Oh image generation free for all ChatGPT users, putting competitive pressure on Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and Stability AI. We also cover OpenAI's GPT 5.3 Codex Spark, the first OpenAI Codex model running on Cerebras hardware instead of Nvidia GPUs, and what that means for AI chip diversification and the economics of large-scale coding agents. On the Google side, we break down the major Gemini 3 Deep Think upgrade targeting science, research, and engineering workloads, and how it stacks up against OpenAI and Anthropic in reasoning-heavy domains. Finally, we explore OpenAI dropping the io branding for its Jony Ive hardware device and confirming a 2027 ship date for what may be a screenless AI companion device.
