Codex Goes Mobile, OpenAI vs Apple’s Fraying Deal, Anthropic Angers Its Developers · Today’s AI News

• 0:00
  Welcome back to today's AI News, brought to you by Nynex
• 0:02
  Productions. It is great to be here.
• 0:04
  Imagine leaving a pot of soup simmering on the stove, but now
• 0:08
  you have a magic spoon in your pocket that lets you taste and
• 0:11
  stir it from anywhere in the world.
• 0:13
  That's quite the visual. Right.
• 0:15
  But that's exactly what's happening with AI agents right
• 0:18
  now. They're finally breaking free
• 0:20
  from the desktop. Today we are diving into the
• 0:23
  unshackling of AI. It really is a massive shift,
• 0:27
  you know, moving away from just sitting at a desk.
• 0:29
  Exactly. And our mission today is to just
• 0:32
  extract the absolute most important insights from today's
• 0:35
  news stack. We're skipping the noise, giving
• 0:38
  you exactly what you need to know lots of.
• 0:39
  Ground to cover, too. Yeah, we're going to hit coding
• 0:41
  agents going mobile, power users revolting against new API
• 0:45
  limits, the deteriorating relationship between two of the
• 0:49
  biggest tech giants, plus a lightning round of new tools and
• 0:52
  a listener's genius personal productivity workflow.
• 0:55
  Let's jump right into the Agent Mobility race.
• 0:58
  Right. So Open AI is rolling out codecs
• 1:00
  in preview inside the ChatGPT iOS app, and they are doing this
• 1:04
  across all plans. Yeah, which is a huge deal, but
• 1:08
  you know, to understand the mechanics here, Codecs continues
• 1:11
  to run on a laptop or a remote host.
• 1:13
  Wait, so it's not actually running on the phone?
• 1:15
  Oh no, definitely not. Your phone would just melt.
• 1:17
  But what they've done is add this feature so users can now
• 1:21
  access live threads, approve code changes and even start new
• 1:24
  tasks right from their phones, which.
• 1:26
  Is super convenient. Yeah, and they're doing it
• 1:28
  through a secure relay layer. That's the key part.
• 1:31
  It prevents exposing the computer to the open Internet.
• 1:33
  OK, let's untack this secure relay layer.
• 1:36
  Sure, because I mean, anytime I hear remote access to my laptop
• 1:40
  I get a little nervous. Are we truly being unshackled
• 1:43
  from our desks, or are we just moving the leash to our pockets
• 1:46
  so work can bother us at dinner? That is the big question.
• 1:50
  But the context for why this matters is that these models,
• 1:53
  they run for hours autonomously now, right?
• 1:56
  Like you could be waiting for a complex coding task to finish.
• 1:59
  Users shouldn't have to carry open laptops around just to hit
• 2:02
  approve when a prompt pauses. I guess that's true, but you
• 2:06
  know, Open AI was definitely throwing some subtle shade in
• 2:09
  their blog post about this. Oh, they definitely were.
• 2:11
  Yeah, they noted, it's more than the ability to remotely control
• 2:15
  a single task, which feels like a direct shot at Anthropic.
• 2:19
  Oh 100% since Anthropic literally launched tools called
• 2:23
  remote control and dispatch earlier this year.
• 2:25
  Right. And this intense rivalry over
• 2:28
  who controls your workflow brings us directly to a major
• 2:32
  misstep by Anthropic. Yeah, this one is causing a lot
• 2:35
  of friction. It's actively driving developers
• 2:38
  toward open a eyes new mobile tools.
• 2:40
  So starting June 15th, Anthropic is splitting Claude's agent
• 2:45
  usage into a monthly credit pool.
• 2:47
  Right, so the exact numbers here are pretty strict if you're
• 2:50
  using the Agent SDK or the claw detect.
• 2:52
  Command. That's the terminal command.
• 2:53
  Right, exactly. Yeah, those will no longer draw
• 2:56
  from normal subscription limits. Instead, Pro users get $20.00 a
• 3:00
  month, Max 5X gets $100 and Max 20X gets $200.
• 3:05
  And just to be clear, these are non rolling credits to use
• 3:08
  toward Claude code Co work and chat.
• 3:10
  Use them or lose them. Yeah, what's fascinating here is
• 3:13
  that this reverses an April ban on 3rd party agents like Open
• 3:17
  Claw. Which people were upset about.
• 3:19
  Right. So reversing it is good, but it
• 3:21
  completely removes the compute subsidy that made those plans so
• 3:25
  valuable in the first place. The community fallout has been
• 3:28
  massive. I mean, T3 founder Theo Brown
• 3:31
  and hundreds of others are publicly cancelling their
• 3:34
  subscriptions over this. Yeah, they are not happy.
• 3:36
  If agents just burn through tokens too fast for a flat
• 3:40
  subscription, are we entering an era where AI is metered like a
• 3:44
  1990 cell phone plan? It really feels like checking
• 3:47
  your anytime minutes, doesn't it?
• 3:48
  Yeah, totally. But you know, connecting
• 3:50
  developers paying for automated tools to the flip side,
• 3:53
  developers actually building their own automated tools from
• 3:56
  scratch. Let's look at a practical guide
• 3:58
  from our sources on how you can build an app using these exact
• 4:01
  capabilities. Yes, this is so cool.
• 4:03
  It's a guide on using Codec's desktop to build a ChatGPT
• 4:07
  images 2 point O marketing app. And it's shockingly simple to
• 4:10
  set up. It really is.
• 4:11
  You literally just use a few terminal commands.
• 4:13
  You type MK deer GPT image review app right then CDGPT
• 4:19
  image review app and then get in.
• 4:21
  That just sets up the basic folder structure.
• 4:23
  Exactly, and from there the prompt is basically just asking
• 4:26
  codecs to build a local browser app where you enter a brief,
• 4:30
  generate prompts and test images.
• 4:32
  And you ask it for very specific review controls, right?
• 4:35
  Yeah, you literally just tell it Gimme keep, reject and needs
• 4:39
  revision controls and then you just add your open AIAPI key to
• 4:43
  the dot env file and you're off. And here's a pro tip from the
• 4:47
  source that's just wild. Of the annotation mode, yes.
• 4:50
  You use codecs desktop annotation mode to simply click
• 4:54
  or drag over fixes for labels, spacing or layout.
• 4:57
  Wait, really? Just dragging a box.
• 4:59
  Yeah, no digging into CSS or anything, you just visually
• 5:02
  select it. It represents this massive shift
• 5:05
  from generating text to manipulating complex user
• 5:07
  interfaces visually. That is incredible, and here's
• 5:10
  where it gets really interesting for you.
• 5:12
  Listening right now, you no longer need a deep background in
• 5:15
  computer science to spin up an internal marketing tool with
• 5:18
  functional review galleries. Anyone can do it.
• 5:21
  The barrier to entry is basically gone.
• 5:23
  And democratizing app creation like that threatens traditional
• 5:26
  gatekeepers, which naturally leads perfectly into a massive
• 5:31
  clash brewing over the ultimate walled garden apple.
• 5:34
  Oh boy. Yeah, things are getting very
• 5:36
  messy there. Open AI is reportedly exploring
• 5:39
  legal action against Apple over their 2024 ChatGPT Siri deal.
• 5:44
  It's a huge falling out, so Open AI is exploring options like a
• 5:49
  formal breach of contract notice.
• 5:50
  Over the conversion rates. Right.
• 5:52
  The original deal was expected to drive billions in paid
• 5:55
  signups. Billions.
• 5:57
  But internal data shows users vastly prefer the standalone
• 6:00
  ChatGPT app. So people just aren't using the
• 6:02
  Siri integration to sign up? Exactly.
• 6:04
  And Apple is fuming over this, partly because the open AI has
• 6:07
  been poaching from its hardware teams.
• 6:09
  Right, I wrote about that, yeah. So what's Apple's countermove?
• 6:12
  Well, Apple plans to open Siri up to Anthropics, Claude and
• 6:15
  Google Gemini and iOS 27. Wow.
• 6:17
  Dropping the exclusivity. Yeah, and that's set to debut at
• 6:20
  WWDC on June 8, so. What does this all mean?
• 6:23
  If Apple Intelligence integration was a bust, does the
• 6:26
  standalone app just hold too much consumer power?
• 6:29
  It really seems that way. Consumers want the direct app.
• 6:33
  And with that, Joni, I've deal making Open AI a potential
• 6:36
  hardware competitor. Are we looking at a genuine Open
• 6:39
  AI smartphone by 2027? Honestly wouldn't surprise me.
• 6:43
  Hardware and specialized tools are just exploding everywhere,
• 6:47
  not just in Cupertino. Which brings us to the Lightning
• 6:49
  round of new tools. Let's do some quick hits and
• 6:52
  everything else in AI today. Let's do it starting with
• 6:54
  hardware, right? Yes, US chip maker Cerebras
• 6:57
  officially went public and its stock literally doubled in
• 7:01
  hours. It's the biggest IPO of the
• 7:03
  year. Yeah, because we need those
• 7:05
  massive chips to run all these new agents.
• 7:07
  Speaking of which, Runway introduced agent.
• 7:10
  Right, that's an agentic assistant specifically for video
• 7:13
  creative workflows. And XAI released Grok Build.
• 7:16
  It's a beta agentic CLI, but it's locked to super grok heavy
• 7:21
  subscribers. Following that premium trend we
• 7:23
  saw with Anthropic, we also saw Higgs Field AI launch
• 7:26
  supercomputer. That name is aggressive it.
• 7:28
  Is it's a cloud AI agent orchestrating models for end to
• 7:32
  end marketing tasks. OK, new tools Recraft V 4.1
• 7:36
  dropped and it has massively improved photorealism.
• 7:41
  Oh, the images are stunning. And then Adaption launched.
• 7:44
  Auto Scientists. Which is for automating model
• 7:46
  training. So AI training AI.
• 7:48
  What could possibly go wrong? Right.
• 7:50
  Also, Notion opened its developer platform, but we have
• 7:54
  to talk about the consumer side. Bumble is officially phasing out
• 7:57
  the swipe feature. Yeah, the classic swipe is gone.
• 7:59
  They're replacing it with B, an AI dating assistant for
• 8:03
  matchmaking and profile optimization.
• 8:05
  OK so will our AI assistants just end up dating each other
• 8:09
  while we watch? Like my AI talks to your AI and
• 8:11
  decides we should get coffee. Basically, yes, it's outsourcing
• 8:14
  the friction of human interaction.
• 8:16
  Well, outsourcing your dating life is one way to manage
• 8:18
  personal chaos, but one listener in our community section has a
• 8:22
  much more structured approach to using AI for life management.
• 8:25
  Yeah, this workflow from Nicholas D in Quebec is.
• 8:27
  Brilliant. It really is.
• 8:29
  Nicholas uses Claude as a personal coach.
• 8:31
  Every Sunday, he feeds Claude a log of his past week sessions,
• 8:35
  his well-being and even his soreness levels.
• 8:38
  And Claude takes all that and generates the next week's
• 8:40
  workout program. Exactly.
• 8:42
  But here is the real aha moment. Nicholas built a gaunt chart.
• 8:46
  Like a project management timeline.
• 8:48
  Yes, a Gaunt chart linked to his habit tracking software.
• 8:52
  The tracker acts as a time punch system, turning logged sessions
• 8:56
  into completed tasks on a timeline.
• 8:58
  He's literally treating his habits and long term goals like
• 9:01
  work projects. If we connect this to the bigger
• 9:03
  picture, it makes total sense. It takes enterprise level
• 9:06
  project management logic and applies it to human well-being.
• 9:10
  Completely removing the emotion from working out.
• 9:12
  Exactly, with an LLM acting as the perfect non judgmental
• 9:16
  middle manager, you don't argue with it, you just do the task.
• 9:19
  That is so smart. It is, though.
• 9:21
  It leaves you with a thought. As we start letting AI generate
• 9:25
  our code, optimize our dating profiles, and manage our
• 9:27
  personal habits on a gaunt chart, at what point do we stop
• 9:31
  being the project managers of our lives and start becoming the
• 9:34
  projects? Wow.
• 9:35
  Yeah, when do we become the tasks on the timeline that is?
• 9:37
  That's a heavy one to leave off on.
• 9:39
