The latest ThursdAI episode (Spotify/Apple/YouTube) covers the week's three big themes:
- Model releases: Hours after lab heads agreed to "pace the frontier," Anthropic shipped Opus 5.5 (dubbed the new workhorse) and OpenAI released GPT 6 Sol and Luna before DevDay — both cheaper.
- Assistants over agents: Meta went all in on Muse at Connect.
- Voice: Google claims the world's best TTS, with voice cloning.
The show also had Opus 5.5 act as live producer, running chyrons and fact-checking guests on air.
