What if searching for one best AI model is the wrong goal? Sophia and Marcus examine a human-directed workflow where Codex orchestrates, Grok Imagine specializes in visuals, repositories and skills preserve learning, and Dave supplies intent, taste, and final approval. From four-candidate batches and anatomy failures to API cost and review time, the conversation asks how explicit roles, inspected handoffs, and human judgment can turn a collection of models into a real production team. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave before publication.
