The AI Argument - E52 - Google’s Winning Week, OpenAI Skip Safety, and Kickboxing Robots

Google’s Gemini 2.5 isn’t just better, it might be in a league of its own. From coding to content creation, it’s outperforming everything else. And for once, nobody’s laughing at Google's AI efforts. While Justin’s all-in on the power and promise of Google’s new Agent framework, Frank’s still reeling from Google charging him €25 a pop to test VEO 2, and not even bothering with a warning label.

Overall, Google’s finally making good on its AI potential, rolling out powerful models, free dev tools, and smart protocols. Justin’s excited. Frank’s suspicious. 

For developers and small teams, it’s a good time to explore. Just watch your wallet and don’t get too attached. Google have a history of spinning up projects and then killing them when we grow to love them. 

Google’s not the only one in the spotlight either… 

There’s a new approach to beating hallucinations by getting four LLMs to argue with each other before telling you anything. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s under fire for rushing safety checks, ChatGPT’s long-term memory has Frank twitching, and Meta’s boasting context windows big enough to fit your whole life story.

This one’s for founders, marketers, and anyone trying to work out where to place their bets as the AI race hits another gear.
