Next Token #004: Opus 5.5's creative leap, Muse hype, and does China have AI PMs?
vista8 · x · 2026-09-28
Episode #004 of the Chinese AI podcast "Next Token" brings together four hosts to dissect Anthropic's Opus 5.5 and Meta's Muse.
- Models crossing creative lines: pixel animation, game-feel, and models that handle visuals, music, and transitions together — is this the kill line for video editors? Do old Skills constrain new models?
- Agents as service entry points: connectors, tasks, memory, and to-dos that let agents act for ordinary people; why chat-while-executing UX matters, and whether wearable agent hardware's value lies in the device or the service behind it.
- Industry takes: does China actually have AI product managers; PMF before cost-cutting (Harvey case); Jev effects and "every agent needs a room" compute demand; selling software vs. delivering services.
- Includes links to Opus 5.5, Muse, and System One Models/Jev references.
