Taking away choice of models (in ChatGPT) is OK, if it really did switch to the top model only for the toughest questions. But my impression is that they simply use up the top model usage and then drop to a lower model, and eventually fall back to a free-to-use model. Why not let the user decide when to apply the 'big brain'? At worst, switch based on whether the user asks for something that has to be created in a canvas, or if they ask the chatbot to 'think hard'.

I tested coding with multi file python on gpt 5 vs opus 4.1. It took 10 prompts for got 5 to solve the issue. It took two prompts for opus 4.1. Just my experience

Imagine, Google Deepmind Genie 3 that you could run in your Meta Quest VR Headset (or computer) with speech recognition. Say where your want to go (real or imaginary) and you're there in VR 3D and can explore this world!

Hi Matt, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your informational AI videos — they’ve been incredibly helpful and insightful. I also noticed the headphones you use and was curious what type they are. I’ve tried several brands myself, but none have quite worked the way I’d like, so I thought I’d ask someone who clearly puts them to good use. Thanks again for all you share!
