From the 10th AI Engineer conference, Swyx framed three themes: software factories, System 1 models, and increasing ambition — "we have the models to do it." His own ambition: he has rewritten his own GitHub, Google Drive, Calendly and Slack with AI. The episode also covers Fable 5.2, Anthropic IPO rumors, and Gemini 4.
