In this episode I talk about the eleventy billion AI models that dropped in the past few weeks, including Anthropic's Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Meta's new Muse agent. I get into former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's resignation and his warning about AI risk, plus what it actually means that OpenAI just rated Astra "Critical" for cybersecurity capability. I also share why I think Meta Muse is a terrible idea and what all of these model drops say about the direction AI is heading.
