In this episode, we go hands-on with the two biggest AI model releases of 2026 so far — Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's GPT-5.3 Codex — and break down what they mean for workers and businesses.

What we cover: → Opus 4.6: 1M token context window, agent teams, thinks ahead of you → GPT-5.3 Codex: 25% faster, first model that helped build itself → Our hands-on experience using both for coding, research, and strategy → Why most consumers are sleeping on Claude (and shouldn't be) → A software engineer's take: 4.6 is "more powerful than most senior engineers" → Why companies won't replace workers overnight (but are shifting fast) → Corporate inertia: why individuals can move faster than their companies → How to use AI for strategy and planning — not just task automation → The AGI question: are we one or two versions away?

Key Stats: • Opus 4.6 outperforms GPT-5.2 by 144 Elo points on GDPval-AA (Anthropic) • GPT-5.3 is 25% faster than its predecessor (OpenAI) • Average enterprise LLM spend hit $7M in 2025, projected $11.6M in 2026 (a16z) • Workers with AI skills earn up to 56% higher wages (PwC) • 20% of organizations will flatten structures with AI by 2026 (Gartner) • 44% of enterprises now use Anthropic in production (a16z survey)
