Friday’s show centered on the near-simultaneous releases of Claude 4.6 and GPT-5.3, and what those updates signal about where AI work is heading. The conversation moved from larger context windows and agent teams into real, hands-on workflow lessons, including rate limits, browser-aware agents, cross-model review, and why software, pricing, and enterprise adoption models are all under pressure at the same time. The dominant theme was not which model won, but how quickly AI is becoming a long-running, collaborative work partner rather than a single-prompt tool.
