🎙️ Sooner or Later: a podcast by Marco Montemagno, Paolo Barberis, and Max Ciociola.
Which AI model to use? Soon, it won't be your choice. SpaceX's Grok Bot will use the best one for each task, including Claude Opus 5.5, and OpenAI is moving in the same direction with Dots, an always-on agent launched with a $500-a-month plan. In this episode, we try to understand what changes when the agent becomes the interface and the model disappears behind the scenes, and whether agents can actually finish a job from start to finish. Meanwhile, Amazon is closing the doors to Muse, Meta's agent, and the game shifts to who will control e-commerce when machines start buying.
We talk about Google flying into orbit with the first Project Suncatcher satellite, four TPUs powered by solar panels, and Playground, which creates video games in minutes. There's also Elon Musk, back above the trillion mark, startups that make sense to launch today, from Lexroom to Jet HR, agents in companies and their impact on work, the smart home ahead of the Apple event, and a final question: who really controls AI?
