The pace of AI model releases is becoming almost impossible to follow. In just two weeks we saw GPT-5.3-Codex, GPT-5.2 updates, Gemini 3 Deep Think upgrades, Claude Opus 4.6 with a 1M context window in beta, Qwen3-Coder-Next, GLM-5, MiniMax M2.5, Cursor Composer 1.5, and even Kimi 2.5 just outside the window. This isn’t a quarterly product cycle anymore - it’s a daily arms race. In this episode Matt and Mike break down what this acceleration means for developers, open source, frontier labs, and the broader industry. Are we witnessing healthy innovation, or unsustainable velocity? At what point does this stabilize - if it ever does? If you’re trying to build, learn, or compete in AI right now… this conversation is for you.
