2026/07/24

I’m tired of new models. Every week there’s a new benchmark, a new frontier intelligence claim, a new thing to test. But here we are, because Opus 5 just dropped and I’ve had real hands-on time with it, so you’re getting the honest version.This is my full Opus 5 review: personality analysis, live benchmark results from my 7-model How I AI eval, and an actual verdict on whether I’m swapping it in. Spoiler: the answer surprised me.What you’ll learn:Why I think we’ve hit an intelligence overhang and

Today I’m walking you through one of my absolute favorite AI features right now: browser and computer use via Codex (the ChatGPT desktop app). I use this every single day, personally and professionally, and I wanted to share the specific workflows I’ve built, the moments that surprised me, and the mental model that makes it actually click.What you’ll learn:How browser use and computer use work, and why the Codex desktop app plus Chrome extension is the combo I rely onHow I use Codex to QA my

Alex Lieberman co-founded Morning Brew in college and grew it into one of the most-read business newsletters in the world before selling it to Business Insider. Now he’s the co-founder and co-managing partner of Tenex. In this episode, Alex explains why distribution is becoming a durable moat, why founders and teams need to “climb Cringe Mountain,” and how he rebuilt his content process around AI without letting it produce generic slop.

Alex Finn is an AI builder, YouTuber, and the creator of Vibe Code Academy, a community for people learning to build with AI tools. He runs one of the most ambitious local AI setups I’ve come across: three Mac Studio 512 GB machines, a DGX Spark, and a custom RTX 5090 build, all coordinated through a fleet dashboard he built himself. He’s spent five months figuring out which local models belong on which machines, how to wire them to Claude Code loops, and how to get a software factory running

2026/07/09

GPT-5.6 Sol is back, and I ran it through my full How I AI vibe benchmark against GPT-5.6 Terra, Luna, Claude Fable 5, and Sonnet 5 across five categories: PRDs, prototypes, wireframes, debugging, and agentic voice. Sol won by a meaningful margin on my Claire Weighted Index (70% my taste, 30% Terminal Bench 2.1), and I also tested two use cases I can't stop thinking about: building a gamified homework tracking app for my kids in one shot with Codex, and browser automation with Chrome that burned

2026/07/08

Everybody is saying, “It’s not the model, it’s the harness,” but almost nobody stops to explain what a harness actually is. So I did. I built one live on the show: a Sentry bug-debugging harness for my company ChatPRD, using the Claude Agent SDK, a custom terminal UI built with the Ink library, and opinionated adapters for Sentry, Linear, GitHub, and Vercel. The harness handles evidence gathering, root-cause analysis, and follow-up artifact creation, all without me needing to type “dear agent,

Alessio Fanelli, founder of Kernel Labs and co-host of Latent Space podcast, walks us through two very different AI workflows: (1) a fully autonomous coding setup using OpenAI Symphony + Linear, where Linear acts as a state machine and Symphony manages agents through the whole dev lifecycle with zero babysitting; (2) Codex with browser access searching eBay for underpriced Pokémon cards—autonomously browsing, extracting PSA certificate numbers, and flagging deals on $10K–$20K cards for his San

2026/06/30

I’ve been testing every major frontier model release since the start of the year, and when Anthropic dropped Sonnet 5, I wanted more than a vibe check. I got tired of one-off tests I couldn’t repeat or compare over time, so I built something better: the How I AI Bench, a repeatable eval harness I constructed live using Claude Code while recording this episode. I ran Sonnet 5 blind against four other frontier models (Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, and Gemini 3 Pro) across PRD quality, prototype

Eddie Kim is the co-founder and CTO of the payroll and HR platform Gusto, which just crossed $1 billion in revenue and serves more than 500,000 small businesses. Recently he did something most CTOs don’t: he went back to writing code. With three other engineers and one designer, Eddie built Gusto Cofounder, a net-new AI product, from zero code to a tier-one launch in 10 weeks. He walks through how that team actually worked, why they threw out nearly every process, and how anyone can copy the

2026/06/24

I put GLM 5.2, the open-weight coding model from Z.AI, through four real tasks inside my actual codebase: a codebase architecture audit, a UI redesign, and a 45-minute autonomous bug-hunting session pulling from Sentry and Vercel logs. Total cost: $3.36 for roughly 6 million tokens, a prioritized bug-fix dashboard I’m actually shipping from, and a landing page redesign that matched Chat PRD’s design system on the first try.What you’ll learn:What “open-weight” actually means and why it matters for

Brian Grinstead is a distinguished engineer at Mozilla, where he’s worked on Firefox and the web platform since 2013 (he joined to help launch Firefox DevTools). Recently he and his team pointed an agentic bug-finding pipeline at Firefox—a codebase with tens of thousands of files and tens of millions of lines of code—and shipped a record month of security fixes. The viral chart everyone saw gave the credit to Anthropic’s new Mythos model. Brian’s take is that the harness and pipeline did just as

I break down every loop type from scratch—what a heartbeat, cron, hook, and goal loop actually are, when each one fits, and the five things any effective loop needs before it touches production. Then I build two live loops: a daily aging-PR reviewer in Claude Code that schedules itself at 10:15 a.m. and spins off its own subagents, and a weekly skills-identification loop in Codex that spawns goal-based subagents to validate its own output in real time.What you’ll learn:The plain-English definition

This one is for the senior engineers, staff engineers, VPs of engineering, and CTOs in my audience. We get into how coding agents can take on deeply technical architecture and infrastructure work that no single human engineer could tackle before, and then we demystify evals so you can use them to make your AI products better
