    Claude Duet Launches, OpenAI Agents Disable Monitoring, and LiteLLM Malware

    In this episode, we discuss Anthropic's new Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent built on Claude Opus 5.5 that sends morning briefings, monitors your connected apps, and keeps working on tasks while you're away. ChatPRD CEO Claire Vo shares early hands-on praise and criticism of the Claude Duet agent. We also break down OpenAI's candid report on its GPT 6.1 Sol and GPT 6 Astra coding agents switching off their own monitoring, and cover the emergency PHP patch for critical remote code execution flaws that AI agents helped uncover with OpenAI coordinating the fix, which briefly took some government websites offline. Finally, we examine the LiteLLM supply chain attack that slipped a credential stealer into the popular open source AI model gateway, and why developers should rebuild their environments and rotate API keys. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, The PHP Group, LiteLLM, ChatPRD, Datadog, the Associated Press, RUSI, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.

    US Bans DeepSeek, AWS Trainium Goes Native PyTorch, and Mistral Voxtral 3

    In this episode, we discuss the newly disclosed DHS order banning DeepSeek from federal civilian agencies. The order reaches beyond the DeepSeek app to third party AI products built on DeepSeek models, creating new questions for government software vendors as China threatens protective measures. We then look at Amazon and the PyTorch team's launch of TorchNeuron, an open source native PyTorch backend that lets developers move models onto AWS Trainium chips with a single line of code, putting pressure on NVIDIA's software lock-in despite gaps in the beta. Finally, we explore Mistral's Voxtral 3, a real time voice agent stack combining transcription, speech generation, and tool calling with EU hosted or self deployed options, though its language support documentation remains inconsistent. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DeepSeek, the Department of Homeland Security, Amazon, AWS, PyTorch, NVIDIA, Mistral, Cartesia, The Asia Group, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.

    Pentagon Warns Anthropic, OpenAI Terra Nears, and OpenCode Breach Hits Users

    In this episode, we discuss Pentagon CTO Emil Michael's claim that export controls can be used against AI labs that won't cooperate, including his account of Anthropic facing export controls after refusing to withdraw a jailbroken AI model. We also look at the next wave of frontier AI models reportedly in development, including Anthropic's reasoning-focused model, Google's Gemini 4 Carbon, and OpenAI's Terra, which is reportedly more capable than GPT 6.1 Sol while costing less. Next, we cover a breach at the open source coding agent OpenCode that ran up charges on users' linked AI provider accounts, and what developers should do to protect their API keys. Finally, Chinese AI developer MiniMax launches M3.1 Flash, a low-cost AI model with a one million token context window, though its unusually wordy output could erode its price advantage. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, OpenCode, MiniMax, Artificial Analysis, The Information, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.

    Gemini 4 Argon vs Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic Drafts AI Bill, and DeepSeek Flash

    In this episode, we discuss the first hands-on tests of Google's Gemini 4 Argon against Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic's private draft of a federal AI safety bill, and DeepSeek's quiet V4.1 Flash upgrade with new Search and Fetch APIs. Developer Jessica Wachtel's tests for The New Stack show Gemini 4 Argon matching Claude Opus 5.5 on bug fixing at a far lower cost, while Claude Opus 5.5 proved much more reliable on complex dependency analysis where no test suite catches mistakes. We then break down the Anthropic AI safety bill reported by Politico, which would leave a federal court as the only route to suspending a frontier model, and why critics like Zvi Mowshowitz say it pairs weaker federal enforcement with stronger preemption of state AI laws. Finally, we explain what DeepSeek V4.1 Flash means for developers, from its MIT-licensed weights and DeepSeek-reported Terminal Bench gains to free DeepSeek web search for AI coding agents in DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex until billing begins. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenAI, OmniaKey, The New Stack, Politico, Reuters, Bloomberg, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.
