The Daily AI Show

What just happened in AI? (Ep. 455)


Listen Later

In this special two-week recap, the team covers major takeaways across episodes 445 to 454. From Meta’s plan to kill creative agencies, to OpenAI’s confusing model naming, to AI’s role in construction site inspections, the discussion jumps across industries and implications. The hosts also share real-world demos and reveal how they’ve been applying 4.1, O3, Gemini 2.5, and Claude 3.7 in their work and lives.


Key Points Discussed

Meta's new AI ad platform removes the need for targeting, creative, or media strategy – just connect your product feed and payment.


OpenAI quietly rolled out 4.1, 4.1 mini, and 4.1 nano – but they’re only available via API, not in ChatGPT yet.


The naming chaos continues. 4.1 is not an upgrade to 4.0 in ChatGPT, and 4.5 has disappeared. O3 Pro is coming soon and will likely justify the $200 Pro plan.


Cost comparisons matter. O3 costs 5x more than 4.1 but may not be worth it unless your task demands advanced reasoning or deep research.


Gemini 2.5 is cheaper, but often stops early. Claude 3.7 Sonnet still leads in writing quality. Different tools for different jobs.


Jyunmi reminds everyone that prompting is only part of the puzzle. Output varies based on system prompts, temperature, and even which “version” of a model your account gets.


Brian demos his “GTM Training Tracker” and “Jake’s LinkedIn Assistant” – both built in ~10 minutes using O3.


Beth emphasizes model evaluation workflows and structured experimentation. TypingMind remains a great tool for comparing outputs side-by-side.


Carl shares how 4.1 outperformed Gemini 2.5 in building automation agents for bid tracking and contact research.


Visual reasoning is improving. Models can now zoom in on construction site photos and auto-flag errors – even without manual tagging.
