Ep 816: ChatGPT Work and GPT-5.6 Sol: What’s New, 5 Overlooked Features and 1 Hot Take

Of course GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s best model yet. ☀️

Every new model is.

The real story is what OpenAI did around it.

Codex got a friendlier name, a broader audience, and a much bigger job.

ChatGPT Work is not just another mode.

It is OpenAI merging chat, coding, browsing, files, plugins, and actions into one work super app.

Today’s Everyday AI breaks down what actually changed, what is mostly packaging, and why Anthropic should be paying very close attention.

SPEAKER_01 0:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OpenAI's new GPT-5.6 soul is amazing and the best and most practical AI model in the world right now. But they actually just pulled off one of the smartest naming tricks I've seen in a while. See, they took the popular agentic coding platform codex, softened the edges, got rid of that scary word code, and just repackaged it as ChatGPT work, the super app. But everyone is rightfully paying attention to the new model itself, GPT 5.6 Soul, OpenAI's flagship release built for longer, cheaper, and more reliable execution of all types of work outputs. This sounds like one launch of two related products, but it's really a model story, a platform story, and a competitive story, all wrapped up in one. And there's some details that I think people are overlooking. So that's exactly what we're going to be tackling today on everyday AI. So here is the big picture. OpenAI just released their new 5.6 models. Yeah, GPT 5.6 models. There's multiple, and a product they're calling Chat GPT Work or the Super App. So the models themselves, well, by benchmarks and my limited use so far, look and feel like real upgrades built for long-running, hands-off professional work. So Chat GPT work, because you're going to be hearing me say work and the words chat GPT work a lot. Uh, it's well, it's just kind of repackaging of some of the tools you didn't know you had inside of Chat GPT. And in case you did miss it, it's been a very busy like 36 hours for OpenAI because not only did they come out with probably now the best model in the world, the best harness and making it more accessible for more people, but they also brought what I think could be more impactful in the long run. Uh, yesterday, no, two days ago, my gosh, time's flying by the new GPT live model, which brings that uh duplex two-way uh voice interaction. But the big thing is GPT 5.6. So on today's show, you're gonna learn why Chat GPT work on the web is mostly just pretty packaging and where the real upgrade actually lives. I'm gonna tell you five overlooked features that people aren't really focusing on, and they probably should, including the full merge super app and the quiet death of Atlas. But don't worry, it's a good thing. And I'm gonna give you my hot take. OpenAI's positioning play and why I think Anthropic should be very nervous of a model that's not GPT-5-6 soul. Yeah, a different open AI model is gonna cause anthropic headaches. Let's get into it. Welcome to everyday AI. If you're new here, my name is Jordan Wilson, and well, do this every day. Uh, it's for you, it's your daily live stream, podcast, and free daily newsletter, unedited, unscripted, helping business leaders like you and me keep up with the AI updates. I go through sleep deprivation, so you don't have to. You get to benefit from uh just the good stuff to grow your company and your career. So it starts here, but make sure you go to your everydayai.com, sign up for the free daily newsletter. We're gonna be recapping all the my random ramblings into the too long didn't listen version. So make sure you go do that and check out everything else that's happening in the world of AI in our newsletter. All right, so let's get to it. We're talking about chat GPT work, the new GPT-5. Soul. I'm gonna tell you what's new, five overlooked features, and one hot take. So GPT 56 soul. If you missed the boat or maybe you've been on a long vacation and haven't listened to the podcast in two weeks, OpenAI already announced this. This wasn't new, we knew it was coming. They actually announced it about two weeks ago, uh, but they had to work with the federal government now that we have kind of the permission slip uh you know, way of doing AI here in the US because of anthropic. Uh, but here it is, brand new model. Uh, but the difference is well, it is actually maybe a little more confusing in the long run because before we just had things like GPT 5.5, right? And then you had different levels of reasoning and all that. So now we still have the different levels of reasoning, we still have the number, the five six, but now we also have soul, which is the big model. Uh, we have Terra, which is the medium model, and then we have Luna, right? So Sun, Earth, Moon, um, which is great. And I think that that's going to carry on. Uh, so let's talk a little bit about the new model. And this is from OpenAI's release. So they said we're launching the GPT-5.6 family of models for general availability following our limited preview, our new flagship Sol alongside Terra, a balanced model for everyday work, and Luna, our most cost-efficient model. GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new standard for both intelligence and efficiency, achieving state-of-the-art results across coding, knowledge work, cybersecurity, and science while outperforming previous and competing frontier models with fewer tokens and at a lower estimated cost. The result is stronger performance per dollar, more successful work for the same spend, or comparable results at a lower total cost. We also introduce a new way to accelerate the most demanding work. Ultra is our highest capability setting, coordinating multiple agents across parallel work streams to finish complex tasks faster. Stronger computer use and design judgment make GPT-5. Helping it inspect, refine, and deliver ready-to-use results. All right. So we're going to talk a little bit more uh about GPT-5. I'm going to do a little bit of comparison, not too much on this show, uh, but obviously Fable 5, right? We have to talk about those two models together when we go over the benchmarks here in a couple of minutes. But I want to quickly tell you a little bit about the other big release. So we knew uh GPT 5.6 Soul was coming out yesterday on Thursday. What we didn't necessarily know is well, we were essentially getting the super app, right? Uh uh internally, they've kind of saying it's it's the merge, but this is the super app. So this is kind of the combination of ChatGPT, uh codex, which has been on fire the last uh five months, and the Atlas browser. So the Atlas browser is no more now. Codex is ChatGPT and Chat GPT is codex, it's actually both an amazing play, just call simply calling it chat GPT work, but also kind of confusing with how it rolled out because if you go download codecs or if you go update codecs, you know, now it says, you know, chat GPT, but you can change it, you know, you can say, hey, I want it to be the codecs icon and still call it codecs, but it's the same thing, uh, right. But uh kind of how OpenAI uh says uh put their post out about ChatGPT work. Uh they said powered by GPT5.6, ChatGPT Work brings together context from your team's tools to turn scattered notes, drafts, and ideas into finished work and keeps projects moving while you stay in control. They say ChatGPT work gathers context, plans the approach, and takes action across your tools, files, and desktop apps to create published spreadsheets, docs, and slides. Uh ChatGPT can turn context from your tools and files into published documents, presentations, and analysis to better uh that better follow your templates and preferred formats. And then they say sites. Yeah, updates on sites, and I'm gonna share about that more in a minute. Uh, sites let you turn ideas, plans, and data into interactive websites and web apps that are easy to share with your team, create dashboards, project trackers, launch calendars, prototypes, reports, and more, and keep them up to date as information changes. Uh, so then talking about the unified plugins, they say with more than 1400 plugins available, ChatGPT can pull context from the tools and workflows you already use to help move projects forward. Uh, they say create one-time recurring tasks, monitor updates, and check progress from your phone while you're away from your desk. And I'm going to be talking about those ChatGPT remote updates because I think they're really good. Uh, then the new uh side-by-side uh in ChatGPT, which I like. Uh, it's the new built-in browser experience in the ChatGPT desktop app, makes it easier to work across your tools, files, and accounts with support for multiple tabs and richer agentic workflows. And I'm gonna share at the end some of my uh tips on the best way to do that because that's for me the biggest unlock. A very small piece of this is the biggest unlock. Uh, and then review the approach before work begins. In plan mode, ChatGPT gathers context, asks questions, and creates a step-by-step plan. You can suggest changes or approve the play, uh, the plan to start the work. All right. So let me translate all of that marketing speak. Uh, it's just codex. That's it. There's really nothing new. Um, so I don't know if if most people remember this, but uh OpenAI added a feature about two weeks ago, or sorry, about two months ago. Uh, essentially, it allowed you to choose how you wanted codecs to display. So you could either have a more technical display or something they just called for everyday work. Uh, so you could just choose how much technical detail codex showed when it was working. So, did you want to see all the tokens spinning and all the Pythons calling and all the you know tools spinning off the shelf, right? If so, you would choose the coding approach, which is technically now codecs. Uh, if you didn't, if you just wanted a more minimalistic and you didn't really care about what was going on under the hood, well, that's now just called Chat GPT work. I spent so much time and I'm like, this can't be true, both on the web, because they did the same thing on the web. On the web, now you have chat GPT, uh, and there's a toggle for chat and a toggle for work. And you know, on the web at least, chat GPT work looks a little different. There's technically no real new functionality aside from being powered by the new model. The plugins are unified, but there's no new anything, right? So you look at it and you're like, oh my gosh, this is gonna be amazing. What's new here? All this is, which it's smart, don't get me wrong, right? I just was like, okay, I just you know read the blog post six times, watched every single video that open AI put out, uh, you know, played with every feature, and I'm like, oh, it's literally the same. But I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's smart what OpenAI did here. Because if I'm being honest, even power users of Chad GPT, I could go in, I feel show them things, and then people would be like, wait, what? Like, where'd you find that setting? Right. There's literally be some things that were some of the best parts of Chad GPT that you couldn't even find, right? You had to go into like a setting like four or five rows in, and it's like, oh my gosh, you can do that in Chat GPT. It's like, yeah, you can. Um, you know, like even like scheduled tasks, they used to uh they took that away for a couple of months, but you could still access it via a URL or by clicking like four or five links deep inside of a setting panel. So you're gonna probably be hearing a lot of chatter about the new ChatGPT work. I do think it's smart. So on the web, it's just some more uh, you know, it does look like more codex on the web, but you don't really have the codex features per se. Um but on the desktop, it's just codecs. Chat GPT work is codecs, and you can choose to call it chat GPT or call it codecs, but you will have a uh kind of a switcher at the top, and you can switch between uh ChatGPT work and ChatGPT codex, but nothing really changes.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

But like I said, I think it's smart.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

And here's the play it still baffled me how many smart people I've talked to over the last five or six months about codex, right? Because on one hand, yes, it is an extremely powerful agentic platform that you can automate your life, you can code, you can build things, uh, right. And that's intimidating for people, right? But and I've been saying this on the show. You know, I've been, you know, captain codex since February, and it absolutely crushes every competitor, and it's not even close. It's way better than Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude Cowork. It's better than Cursor. I think Cursor is probably in second place. Uh, it's better than anti-gravity Gemini. It is the best desktop AI app, and it is not even close. But the problem is, is the word codex, right? People said, Oh, I'm not a coder, right? Yeah, I've had so many recent conversations, people who are even somewhat technical, but they're not coders. And they're like, Oh, I can't use codecs. And I'm like, you absolutely have to. So, from that aspect, it's a very smart play. They literally just slapped the word work on, didn't really change anything, just shows fewer details. That's it. All right. So don't get confused when you're like, what's this new Chad GPT work? It's really nothing new. All right. So yeah, here on my screen, I have the Chat GPT work on the web, just looks kind of like Codex Lite, but it doesn't really do anything new or different that you couldn't previously do on the web inside of Chad GPT. So yeah, the web version just bundles agent work, deep research projects, connected apps. So it just brought more some of the more uh technically advanced features, the ones that I used all the time. And it kind of gave it its own uh dedicated panel in the work. You can still do all those things in the normal chat panel. It just, you know, makes the chat panel maybe a little bit easier um and less intimidating with you know fewer interfaces, and then the work panel just makes it easier and then it suggests different things. All right. And then, well, there's one new thing. There's a nice little toggle, right, inside the chat chat GPT uh desktop app. Uh yeah, there's nothing really new there. Uh, but Atlas is built in. Sorry, I take that back. Atlas is now built into the browser, and it is really good. It is improved, and I'm gonna give you here in a couple of minutes uh when I go over my five overlooked features. One of them is going to hopefully, I think, change the way a lot of people work. All right, so more on GPT-5.6, you know, got to get into the benchmarks, the comparisons, all that, but I need a quick water break, and we have to quickly hear uh word from our partners. Here's what most AI tools still can't do work outside their old little box. The all new Slack bot just changed that. It's your AI teammate inside Slack, and now it can read, write, and act across the other apps your team already uses. No more tool switching, no more re-explaining yourself every time you open a new tab. One ops team at engine says the summary feature alone saves them 15 to 20 minutes of use. See what Slackbot can do at Slack.com. All right, so a little bit more on the new models. So GPT-5.6, here's the basics. There's three models Sol, Terra, Luna. Soul is the flagship, it is aimed at the heavy users, coding, knowledge work, cybersecurity, and science. If you are someone that's using AI for three, five, six, twelve hours a day, you're probably gonna want to use Seoul because you will be able to take advantage of those full capabilities. We always talk about the capability gap, uh, right? If if you're doing lighter work, maybe you can use Terra, right? Uh, that is the more everyday work at a lower cost. And then Luna is the fastest, cheapest tier. So, yeah, that's our our new three naming tier. And then on top of that, you have um Soul Ultra as well. So let's look at that. So with Soul, so we're gonna get into the uh the benchmarks here. Uh, it did extremely well. So, even on a newer benchmark, which I really like, uh, if you've heard of humanities last exam, it's essentially all these questions that are not in training data. So, there's a similar one called Agent's Last Exam, and it's been one of the more popular in trending benchmarks of 2026, and it just crushed the competition. So, you know, and even if you're sitting there and you're like, I don't need agents, I'm not a coder. Yes, you do, and yes, you will. You just don't know it yet. Uh, and and and I'm being dead serious, right? The future of work, if you are a knowledge worker sitting in front of a computer, you are an agent orchestrator. It's it's how I've been doing my work since February, since Codex came out. Um, you know, constantly providing a lot of feedback uh on the front end, you know, keeping an eye on your agents, seeing what they return you. That's your work, you know, you polish it a little bit, but you're able to get four, five, six, ten times uh done that of the type of work that you would normally do, and uh, you know, unlocking a whole new skill set that you never thought you could do. Um, so but the company's core pitch here is just performance per dollar. And we're gonna get into that in some of the charts. And then there is technically a tier-ish on top of Seoul, and that's Seoul Ultra. And that's just when they run uh essentially four uh kind of sub-agents in parallel, all of the highest setting, and you kind of get the best of the best. So Ultra does kind of coordinate those four agents in parallel by default to finish those demanding tasks faster. Uh, we've gone over pricing before, but Sol is five dollars input and thirty dollars per output for million tokens. So that's just if you're paying on the API side, right? So if you're in uh if you have a Chat GPT subscription, FYI, that now means you have a Chat GPT work or a codex subscription. It's the same thing, it shares those limits. So obviously you're not, you know, having to worry about that, but the pricing is extremely important. Uh, and then obviously the cheaper per task uh can still drain uh plans quickly. So, you know, if you are using uh the ultra salt ultra, that's that's gonna eat eat things away. All right, let's talk a little bit about some benchmarks. We're not gonna go too deep into it, but it's important to talk about. So I think probably the best um single source for benchmarks uh is artificial analysis. So it is uh conglomerate, it just brings in, you know, different benchmarks all at once. So it averages all these different benchmarks. Uh so it's one of the best sources to look at. So uh GPT 5.6 Seoul Max, uh, pretty much on par uh with Claude Fable 5. It's a one-point difference, uh, which is pretty minuscule, right? I'd say you can start power users can start noticing at about a three-point difference. Um, average users maybe like a six-point difference, and they're not gonna tell the difference. Uh, but you know, if if you are a heavy user, you're not gonna be able to tell the difference between a 59 and a 60 on artificial analysis intelligence index. That means they are essentially one A and one AAB. It's not one A and one B, it's one A and one AA B. But that's just on that, the artificial analysis intelligence benchmark. Here's where it gets interesting. On uh, they have essentially they have three main benchmarks. I usually just talk about the uh intelligence index because that brings a little bit of everything. But in this case, when we're talking about work, knowledge work becoming more and more agentic, I think that's actually when the other two artificial uh analysis um benchmarks become more important, and that is their artificial analysis coding index, uh, which GPT-5. So it beats it on coding and on the agentic index, uh 5.5 also beats it. So essentially, I would argue by most standards, that would mean that uh GPT-5.6 soul is better. I mean, we'll see when all the benchmarks come out in the LM arena. So, what do humans prefer? Uh, right. And you know, OpenAI has said they're working on front-end design. I know so much, which I've never understood, right? Because so much of like vibes that are out there for models, it's always like, okay, I created this video game and like look at how good it looks. It's like, okay, well, maybe like what 0.001% of the world uses models for that, right? I use models for knowledge work. I use models for personalizing research, carrying my context over from different apps, uh, you know, building, um, you know, building decks, building little sites that I can share, right? Uh, you know, helping me grow my business, right? Uh I'm I'm not creating 3G 3JS worlds, uh, you know, I. I do a little bit of design things maybe for some of the apps that I do build. But you know, I think it's important to look at these three benchmarks in tandem. But the one that is the most telling, and this is we're gonna get to this in a little bit more, is the price. So for artificial analysis, this is essentially the cost per intelligence, right? Because these models can all get the tasks done. But well, how much does it cost? And right now, GPT-5.6, I will argue, is a slightly better model. If you look at all these, uh, you know, the three different artificial analysis indexes that are the most important. Uh, you know, they're one point behind on one winning the other two, but they're doing it at yeah, a dollar per task, a dollar and four cents versus uh Fable 5, $2.75. Yeah. Entropic. All right. So uh we went over Chad GPT work, we went over codex. Now I'm gonna give you the five overlooked features and my one hot take. All right, overlook feature number one. Even though OpenAI didn't say it out loud, this is the super app, right? Uh, I think there are a lot of super app um, you know, rah-rah back in like March, April, May, um, and at the time OpenAI said, well, codex is the super app, uh, right. They said, you know, they said we're building it in disguise, but this is it. But is bringing together chat work, codex, browser, files, and actions. And if you know absolutely nothing about like, well, codex, right? Or why does it matter? You know, why would why do I need a desktop, you know, something running on my desktop versus something, you know, that I can just do in the cloud, right? If ChatGPT has this new ChatGPT work on the web, why would I ever use Codex? Well, the main reason is it can access your local system. So it can use your entire computer, it can use your browser, uh, right? It can access, read and write all of your local files. So those are you know three big advantages. And, you know, there's a little bit more that you can do with scheduling and things like that. If you have a machine like I do that just stays on, my poor Mac Studio, I don't think, has taken a nap since I got it. Uh, right. So I have a lot of things that are scheduled, you know, loops, goals, heartbeats, all these things. There's a little bit more uh technical um capabilities that you can do with the desktop app, but it is now all one. There's some syncing issues, FYI, and I'll probably reach out to OpenAI about it. I I don't know if they're fully um aware because, as an example, some things change names, right? So if you were using codecs before, there was a thing called chats. Now there's no codex chats. Codex chats are now tasks, so they could be called codex tasks or they could be called chat GPT work tasks, anyways. But you can there's a new chats panel, and that brings in your chats from ChatGPT, but right now at least only chats from the chat tab inside chat GPT are syncing and not the chats from the work tab inside chat GPT. Yeah, confusing, right? So there are some things that you know, the the the super app and bringing all this together in one cohesive ball. I think that there's a couple of things that the team is probably gonna tighten up. Um, but I mean, first iteration, it is really, really good. All right, the other thing, small footnote, sites, all right, chat GPT sites rolling out to all paid plans. All right. I think there's some might be some uh geography restrictions at first, but uh rolling out to all paid plans, and this is important. Also, there's public publishing, live URLs, and it's on Chad GPT on the web, not just codecs. So we are starting to see, you know, a little bit more feature parity. Uh, you know, certain like a good example is uh Chad GPT sites used to only be on codecs. So, well, now that's also uh on Chad GPT on the web as well. So here's why this is important because before sites was number one only available on Codecs, so now it's available on the web as well. Uh, but it's also um available for all paid plans. Before it was just for team plans. If if if I'm being honest, like it was one of the reasons that I still was holding on uh to my team plan, uh, even though I'm mainly the only person that uses it, was for ChatGPT sites. I really like it, but on my $200 a month pro plan, it's like I wanted to be able to use sites now. I can't. So if you have a paid plan, ChatGPT sites is great. It's like a a lovable light, right? So all you know, uh I I did a full episode on it a couple of weeks ago. Think of it like this. Um, you know, think of how many versions of decks that you have, right? There's 10 different versions on 10 different people's machines, v1, v3, v4, final. Oh, did we have edits on this one, right? You probably waste uh hundreds of hours a year just dealing with uh who has that file, right? ChatGPT sites can just get rid of that because it's just one source of truth. And anytime one person updates it, it's updated everywhere. So you can build full-on you know, databases, dashboards, uh, you know, little apps that your team can use or just decks and websites to keep track of anything type of work. Uh, so it's nice that it's rolling out to all plans and available on the web. Next, Chad GPT Mobile got a huge update. Uh, it now you can manage plugins from Chad GPT app. You can see and manage all of your schedule tasks. So uh that's great, but also uh they changed the name. So you used to open up the Chad GPT app and it would say codex, and then you could essentially control your uh any physical machine that was running codecs. So now it's just called remote, which I kind of like, right? So they're not slapping the name codecs everywhere and confusing people. And if you see remote, you're like, cool, even if you're a non-technical person. And now all of a sudden you're like, wait, I can use the chat GPT app, which you know, uh OpenAI has like a billion weekly active users, and everyone knows the chat GPT app. And then they see this thing called remote, and they're like, Oh, I can, you know, control my desktop if I have the ChatGPT work app. Wow, great. So again, not really new functionality there, it's just cleaned up and it does work a little bit better, but actually, no, new, there is new functionality because you have more control over plugins and scheduled tasks on the actual codep, uh, sorry, uh, on the actual remote section of the ChatGPT app. All right, number four, uh, yeah, Atlas is technically gone. So OpenAI's browser experiment, it is no more, but it's for the best because now this is gonna sound small. All right, but two big updates to uh the browser, uh formerly known as Atlas, that is now just baked into the super app, right? So Codex had always had a browser, but it was a singular browser, and it didn't have all the normal browser capabilities, like you couldn't open multiple tabs and it didn't keep your saved passwords. I actually spent like 1.8 billion tokens building what I called, I forgot what I called it. I think I just called it like Codex Vault, but I essentially built an app that would save all of my passwords so I could run, you know, certain things agentically that required you to log in because you know the codex browser, you know, couldn't uh log in to things without saved passwords. Um, so that is available now, and you can import from any of your Chrome profiles because the browser is based on Chromium like Atlas was. So uh it supports cookies to keep you logged in and it'll support passwords. So I was playing around with it a little bit um because it was a little finicky to actually get computer used to click login, because some websites, depending on how they're set up, you know, um the actual browser control can log you in. So it'll pull up your saved, you know, uh websites, uh, your saved credentials, right? Just like in Chrome, if you you know sign into something and you've saved your password in Chrome, it'll be there and you just have to click log in. Um, so I had to toy around with it a little bit. I might just uh if I can refine it, I just might save it as a skill and you know put it in our newsletter or on our website because it is a little finicky now. I'm sure they'll get it fixed. But this is the big unlock here, y'all. And here's why. Yes, you know, there's there's connectors and plugins and mcps and all these things, right? But I think for knowledge work, so much of what we do is going to all of these different websites that don't have MCP and they don't have direct connectors, right? So, in my example, you know, the our podcast is hosted on BuzzSprout, which is an older host. They don't have any AI anything. I spend so much time, you know, going from this program, uh, you know, downloading this, uploading this file here. I clean the audio, then I bring it in, you know, get the timestamps, and it's like five different programs. Well, now I can just fully automate that completely because codex can open multiple tabs uh at once and it can save the passwords because you know it does save them, it had previously saved them for a certain amount of time, but every once in a while it just kicks you out like any normal uh you know SaaS program would. So now with the cookies and the saved passwords, huge in terms of the new knowledge work that you can do on a schedule. Think of all those monotonous tasks. You have to go log in, click this thing 12 times. You're like, why am I doing this? Right? Why, you know, even if you're a high-paid executive, you're like, I I, you know, I just every single day I have 45 minutes of things that you know a monkey could do, right? I just go here, click this, wait for it to load, three minutes. Oops, got distracted. Click this, export, download, right? You don't have to do any of that anymore. It's amazing. All right, and then last but not least, computer use is much faster. It is faster, it is better, and it has this real cool new thing. It's this picture in picture. Uh, so when computer use is happening, um you can see, you know, if you've ever seen picture in picture on your TV, uh, it's just right there in Codex, or if you decide to call your codex chat GPT work, uh, so you can see what's happening um right there in codex. Oh, another thing that I didn't mention, which I should have mentioned on number four with Atlas, um, related to this and related to this super app. And I don't even think OpenAI announced this. Um, and I didn't see anyone else talk about it, but in the Chrome extension, because you can also from Codex not just control your computer, not just control the built-in browser, but you can also control a Chrome browser, which is a little different. Uh, all right. Uh, but they actually have a Chrome extension, um, and there's an update in the Chrome extension where you can have a side panel in Chrome and you can see what is being worked on on your desktop, which is really cool. So, you know, if I have a a window open, which is actually unlocks a lot because normally on my setup, right, I have two screens. One screen is just full, you know, full codex, uh, you know, and then I'll have, you know, probably a full clawed desktop. Um, and then I have to swap between them because I'm like, oh, okay. And I know, you know, codex has the little pets and they say, all right, your thing's ready, but I'm still like having to always keep an eye on that. So having a sidebar in Chrome and I can see what Codex is working on and track it live. That's been like a small little thing. And I'm like, wait, why didn't they talk about this? This is huge, especially if you're like me and you're giving you know agents long-running tasks. You know, at any point, I might have, you know, five to 20 different threads running. Um, and it's like, I don't want to always have to check in on them. And sometimes the little codex pet for me is a little distracting. And I'm always in a Chrome browser, so I'm like, oh, okay, I can just have that going and work with it right there. Actually, amazing. All right. So that is the five um overlooked features. And let me end with this hot take.

Uh for those of you that stuck around, Anthropic's in trouble.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

They are in trouble. If they do not immediately pivot, it's not gonna look good. All right. And here's the thing Yeah, Anthropic is scared, and they should be, right? And this is great because it's going to drive competition. Anthropic did something that I don't think they've ever done right after this announcement. And this and this is how I know Anthropic is in huge, huge trouble. Um, they reset weekly limits, which I don't think they've ever done, except one time when they made a big mistake. There's this big miscommunication. I think they might have reset five-hour limits, not weekly limits. That's something if you use codecs, you like we've been spoiled, right? Tebow over there uh at OpenAI always resetting your weekly limits. Infrappit did this, they never do it, and they did it right when OpenAI announced something. And that to me is like they know they're scared, and they know I'm I'm I'm not gonna make projections, man. I'll make a projection. I I'd say it's very, very safe to say that yesterday they lost probably eight figures in revenue, I would guess. Um, and I will continue to say that until they make a change, they're gonna be losing eight figures of revenue every single day, maybe more. It's they're gonna be losing a lot of money if they do not pivot immediately. So I even heard some people say, and I'm not gonna say this, right? People are like, oh, Fable Five is dead. It's not dead, uh, it's still, you know, a top-tier model, and there's still gonna be some people out there paying for it. But I would absolutely not pay a dime for Fable V. And Anthropic, they said, oh, we're gonna, you know, extend Fable V in uh subscriptions through July 12th. Uh well, if they don't extend it past that, they're gonna lose subscribers. But the majority uh of Anthropic's business comes from two main things. It comes from coding via the API, um, right? And up until 5.6 soul, um, they had a sizable lead, right? Fable five um had a sizable lead over five. From GPT and you know, Google, we'll see what happens. Uh, but here's the thing I don't think anthropic is worried about GPT 5.6 soul. They are worried about GPT 5.6 Terra. Okay. Here's why. So Anthropic makes money from coding. Yes, they have co-work. Yes, that's popular. They make their money from coding, but they sell tokens at an extreme premium. All right. Looking at the artificial analysis coding index, and that takes into account a lot of the popular coding benchmarks. Um, you know, soul, GPT-5. But guess who's in second place? GPT-5.6 Terra, the medium model. It is better than the big bad fable. The one that we had uh, you know, have a government anthropic fight, the one that, you know, anthropic had been, you know, saying this thing's too dangerous. They've been they were hyping it up for for three, three months, and now we have this uh you know permission slip AI uh in the US because of anthropic overhyping uh Fable and Mythos. Okay. The medium model is eating Fable Five's lunch. And why are they eating it? Not just because it's increment incrementally better at coding, it is more than five times cheaper, according to artificial analysis. Five times cheaper to do the same tasks versus Fable Five. Yeah. So what I said on the on the Twitter machine, I said anthropic has like a week or two until enterprises start catching up. Uh, because that's how long it takes for even the decision makers that are spending multiple millions of dollars sometimes a month on these products. And yes, there's vendor lock-in, but any company that's up for, you know, if they signed a one-year uh deal with anthropic, there's always companies rolling. They're gonna churn. There is zero, zero reason for any company right now to be paying for anthropic. Zero. Because of what OpenAI just did. They undercut on price, they overdelivered on performance. And if Fable, if anthropic doesn't change Fable Five pricing, it is DOA. It's done. So they've got to either quickly release Fable 5.1 um so they can, you know, knock down the pricing on Fable 5. Or I do think that they will be bleeding five figures potentially daily, right? So not just from people going over on contract renewals, but just on the API side. Um, it's it's gonna be interesting to look at these third-party sites um like open router that track uh you know third-party token usage, because I I would assume you're gonna see the open AI share go up exponentially, and you're gonna see people that were using at least for Fable um go down, Opus go down, because why would you use Opus now when Terra is cheaper? So a big portion of Anthropic's revenue just got cut off at the knees. And if nothing else, this is just fun for us, right? We get to watch, but that means we're gonna get number one, a better model from Anthropic sooner rather than later. They have to, uh, and they're gonna have to cut their prices and or uh extend and keep Fable Five in subscriptions. There's really no other option, right? Uh, because they can't just keep bleeding money because they're gonna be bleeding money. All right. So that's it. Now you know Chat GPT work, you know GPT 56 Soul, what's new, the five overlooked features, and my one hot take. I hope this was helpful.
