    Which AI Agent Do You Trust? OpenAI Dots, Grokbot, Instinct | Claude Code vs Codex | EP33

    Dots vs Grokbot: OpenAI's new AI agent against Elon's Grokbot, plus Instinct, and why Opus 5.5 made Rik un-cancel Claude. Rik and Ben on AI agents, Claude Code and Codex. Rik and Ben, two builders, break down the week in AI: the agent launch that Elon turned into a meme, who you can actually trust with your calendar and inbox, and what a $20 Claude plan buys you now. No guest this week. IN THIS EPISODE: • OpenAI's Dots vs Grokbot, and the dot.com redirect to the Grokbot download page • Why every AI agent looks cute: trust, lock-in and the agnostic stack nobody has built • Instinct, an AI agent that lives in iMessage or WhatsApp, and its network-effect business model • Opus 5.5 brought Rik back after 23 days off Claude: the $20 plan that feels like the $100 plan • Claude Code's graceful stop at the 5-hour limit, and the steer button debate with Codex • A $5,000 motion design video in 3 prompts, and AI commoditizing every media format • Faceless AI fitness accounts: gold rush or the next slop? • Tesla's Roadster demo delay, DoorDash Air drone deliveries and Freckle, the kids' phone CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:11 The AI leaders' luncheon with Trump (and why Sam Altman missed it) 03:00 OpenAI Dots vs Grokbot (and the dot.com redirect) 08:19 One AI stack or many?

    Three AI Models in 24 Hours: Grok 4.7, Opus 5.5, GPT-6 | Is Model Fatigue Real? | What Jev Actually Is | Meta's $1,300 VR Glasses | EP32

    Grok 4.7, Claude Opus 5.5, and GPT-6 Sol and Luna all dropped in the same 24-hour window this week, and instead of hype, Rik and Ben feel model fatigue. Guest Shawn Esquivel, an ex-Composio dev rel and full-time AI builder, joins to talk Grokbot versus Cursor, the Jev misconception everyone's getting wrong, and why Meta might have just nailed AI wearables with $1,300 glasses at 100 grams. Rik and Ben are joined by AI builder and former Composio dev rel Shawn Esquivel for a wide-ranging conversation on this week's model releases, subscription fatigue, and what's actually real about the Jev hype cycle. IN THIS EPISODE: Grok 4.7, Opus 5.5, and GPT-6 Sol and Luna all launch within 24 hours, and why model fatigue is a real reaction this time, not just a joke. Rik cancelled Claude 23 days before Opus 5.5 shipped 100 dollars in free API credits, and says it feels exactly like crypto FOMO. Shawn's Grokbot has been fabricating its own API cost reports for weeks. Ben clears up the single biggest misconception about Jev: it can't code, it can't speak, it only picks between outcomes. Shawn tells the story of DMing a stranger at a San Francisco hackathon and landing a job interview with zero applications. The episode closes on Meta's Muse launch and its new 1,300 dollar VR glasses against Apple's 3,700 dollar Vision Pro.

    How Tiiny Host Went From $6 to $10K MRR | 80% of Uploads Are Now AI Code | Vercel Drop vs Tiiny | Marc Lou vs Compounding SaaS with Elston Baretto, Founder @ Tiiny Host | EP30

    ChatGPT and Claude will build the site. They still will not host it. Elston Baretto of Tiiny Host on vibe coding and a $6 first customer. Rik and Ben sit with Elston Baretto, founder of Tiiny Host, for God Mode Pod episode 30. He does not say $1 million on this recording. A 7 Sep tweet claimed $1M ARR. On-air you get the slope: $50 to register, $6 for the first customer, two and a half years to $10k MRR, and $500 to $600 a month on OpenRouter for the whole user base. This year 80% of uploads are code. A Vercel engineer called Drop "Tiiny Host, but worse." Gamma does $100M ARR on presentations while Canva already does slides. Subscribr won godmodepod.com/bid at $13. IN THIS EPISODE: • Drag and drop HTML, PDFs, or a zip. Live link in ten seconds. Hosting is still the unsolved last mile. That is why Tiiny exists. • First customer paid six dollars a month. Twenty-five customers for months after that. Two and a half years to $10k. Ben's own $10k took the same clock. • Solo at the start. Registration fee about $50. Never put more money in. An eight-year-old running app still pays out from Google every two or three months. Team of eight now. • Last year 35–40% of uploads were PDFs. This year 80% is code, because ChatGPT and Claude can build the site and still cannot put it online. SEO got him to $10k. LLM citations then went volatile. • Two ways to indie-hack right now: Marc Lou spikes versus compounding SaaS. Outbid forgotten in two weeks. Subscribr bought the shoutout for $13. • Vercel Drop is not the same market. OpenRouter is $500–600 a month across the entire user base. Gamma does $100M ARR on slides while Canva already does slides. Rik is in Brazil next episode. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:24 Tiiny Host in ten seconds 06:24 Solo bootstrapped 10:08 $6 a month. 2.5 years to $10k 16:37 80% of uploads are vibe code 20:56 MCP and a Claude Skill 31:44 A $13 bid won the shoutout 33:51 Two ways to be an indie hacker 41:17 $600 a month on OpenRouter 45:45 Isn't this just Tiiny Host, but worse 52:00 Gamma $100M vs Canva 54:23 What's left for indie hackers MENTIONED: Tiiny Host, ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel, Vercel Drop, Guillermo Rauch, Netlify, Cloudflare, OpenRouter, Cursor, Codex, Linear, Marc Lou, Outbid, Subscribr, godmodepod.com/bid, Gamma, Canva, WeTransfer, Product Hunt, Runmore, WebStorm, vibecode.fun HOSTS: Rik — https://x.com/rikventure Ben Broch — https://x.com/brochchain Elston Baretto — https://x.com/_baretto Listen: YouTube → https://youtube.com/@godmodepod Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZBhl5IVFa8wZPvIKNTkRP Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-mode-podcast/id1883959580 Substack → https://godmodepod.substack.com/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/godmodepod TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@godmodepod New episodes every Saturday.

Michael Truell says OpenAI is 5% of Cursor traffic. Ben corrects that to 15-20% on token efficiency, and times the move with Astra.• Kalshi: 80% of OpenAI and Anthropic enterprise revenue comes from 1% of customers. Altman says enterprise now out-earns consumer.• Grok Bot has its own computer. Ben almost bought US Open tickets on StubHub and had to yell stop.

    NVIDIA Buys Hugging Face for $12.9B | Anthropic Targets a $100B IPO | Ox Alpha Is GLM-5.3 | OpenAI Brings Back Rate Limits | Shopify vs Claude Code | EP28

    NVIDIA is buying Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, Anthropic wants a bigger IPO than SpaceX, and a Chinese open source AI model served the world's inference without a single NVIDIA chip. Plus: 2,000 humanoid robots raced in Beijing and one of them beat Usain Bolt's 100m record. Then it ran into a wall, because nobody has solved stopping yet. Rik and Ben go through the week that every layer of the AI stack got bought, built in-house, or quietly replaced. IN THIS EPISODE: • NVIDIA agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B. Ben does the math live: Hugging Face makes around $150M a year, putting the deal at roughly 100 times revenue. Microsoft paid 25-30x for GitHub in 2018. • Anthropic targets a roughly $100B IPO, bigger than SpaceX's record raise. Rik's objection: they rent compute from a direct competitor, and the deal has a 90-day clause. • Ox Alpha, the anonymous model developers had been hammering for weeks, turns out to be Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash. MIT licence, 1M-token context, running entirely on domestic Chinese chips. • The 5-hour limits are back on OpenAI Plus, and Ben argues rate limits have become pricing strategy rather than infrastructure. Claude Code eating the Claude chat quota is what pushed Rik back to Cursor. • Shopify's CEO floats banning Claude Code over a config file. Apple spends $1.5B on AI that can read silently mouthed words. • One developer made around $235,000 with a bid button, and Ben traces the whole idea back to the million dollar homepage, whose creator went on to co-found Calm. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:10 The Robot Olympics: 2,000 humanoids in Beijing 05:47 Teaching a robot a task from one video 07:29 Why AI still can't edit a video 14:03 NVIDIA buys Hugging Face for $12.9B 18:23 What is Hugging Face actually worth? 21:13 Apple quietly bought a silent-speech startup 24:38 Anthropic wants a bigger IPO than SpaceX 26:58 Is Anthropic just paying Elon's bills? 28:37 OpenAI paused frontier RL training 32:14 OpenAI's Jalapeño chip 35:21 Ox Alpha was GLM-5.3-Flash all along 39:03 Ranking every major model 42:27 The 5-hour limits are back 46:23 Shopify vs Claude Code 47:59 Grok Bot opens to everyone 51:14 outbid.lol made $132k in a week 54:02 The million dollar homepage 57:07 The new Mac mini MENTIONED: NVIDIA, Hugging Face, Microsoft, GitHub, Anthropic, Claude, Claude Code, OpenAI, Codex, ChatGPT, Z.ai, GLM-5.3-Flash, Ox Alpha, DeepSeek, Kimi K3, Cursor, Grok Bot, SuperGrok, Antigravity, Hermes, Skild AI, Tesla Optimus, World Humanoid Robot Games, OpenAI Jalapeño chip, Cerebras, Blackwell, Rubin, Apple, Siri, AirPods, Whisper Flow, Shopify, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, Remotion, HyperFrames, CapCut, Descript, outbid.lol, the million dollar homepage, Calm, Replit, Bittensor, Theo's model tier list.

    Stripe Buys OpenRouter | Everyone Cancels Claude | Top 1% of AI Spenders Spend 600x More | OpenAI Exec Exodus Before IPO | 6 AI Debates on Jobs and AGI | EP27

    Stripe just bought OpenRouter, everyone is cancelling their Claude subscription, and Rik and Ben break down six AI debates on jobs, regulation, and AGI timelines. Just Rik and Ben this week — Ben's off to the UK, Luca's out entirely — so they go deep on three stories instead of racing the full docket: the mass Claude-cancellation moment and what they're both actually running instead, Stripe's acquisition of OpenRouter and the wild founder story behind it, and OpenAI's executive exodus ahead of a delayed IPO. Closes with six rapid-fire AI debates on compute cost, open source vs frontier models, jobs, regulation, and AGI timelines. IN THIS EPISODE: - Rik and Ben's real monthly AI subscription spend across Claude, Cursor, Codex, and Grok - Why Cursor Origin's privacy mode is off by default, and what that means for your code - Stripe acquires OpenRouter — Ben's read on why it's really a bet on AI agents making purchases - Ben reveals he personally worked with OpenRouter's founder on a Kings of Leon NFT launched via SpaceX rocket - a16z's new number: the top 1% of AI spenders spend 600x more than the median company - OpenAI's executive exodus ahead of a delayed IPO - Six AI debates: compute cost, open source vs frontier, jobs, regulation, AGI timelines CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:36 Intro — two-hander, no guests, no Luca 02:02 Cancelling Claude: the mass exodus 03:09 Ben's real AI subscription stack 07:05 Rik's AI tool ranking: Claude vs Codex vs Cursor 11:31 Why Anthropic won't budge on rate limits 16:50 TBH to Gas: the same viral app, twice 18:47 Cursor launches Origin, a GitHub rival 29:08 SpaceX AI's unlimited compute advantage 30:23 Stripe acquires OpenRouter 32:50 The Jevons paradox: cheaper AI, more usage 38:05 DeepSeek Harness and the OpenRouter founder's OpenSea past 39:12 Ben's SpaceX and Kings of Leon NFT story 43:30 Stripe vs Visa/Mastercard and a16z's 600x spending gap 45:40 Why your new hire costs double now 48:28 OpenAI's exec exodus, explained 51:33 Six AI debates: jobs, regulation, AGI timelines MENTIONED: Claude, Claude Code, Anthropic, Cursor, Cursor Origin, Composer, Codex, ChatGPT, OpenAI, Grok 4.6, Grokbot, xAI, SpaceX AI, Elon Musk, Stripe, OpenRouter, Alex Atallah, OpenSea, DeepSeek Harness, a16z, TBH, Gas, Nikita Beer, Sam Altman, GLM 5.6, Kimi K3, DeepSeek HOSTS: Rik — https://x.com/rikventure Ben Broch — https://x.com/brochchain New episodes every Saturday.

    Grok 4.6 Catches Claude Opus 5 | Grokbot Logs You In Through Cursor | Anthropic Pays SpaceX AI a 3x Markup | $50B per Gigawatt | A 7 Euro AI Back Office | EP26

    Grok 4.6 jumped to 61 on the intelligence index and caught Claude Opus 5. Anthropic is paying SpaceX AI a 3x markup on inference. And one AI builder runs his entire back office on a 7 euro agent. Rik and Ben are joined by Mark, a senior engineer on sabbatical from Aave, now based in Lisbon and shipping mobile apps, an AI golf swing analyzer and an open-source LLM ranking tool. Grokbot ships and quietly logs you in through Cursor. Ben does the gigawatt math live. And an AI agent hacks a gym booking system to free up a slot for its owner. IN THIS EPISODE: • Grokbot's onboarding runs through a Cursor authentication loop, which raises a fair question about whether it was built at Cursor and shipped under SpaceX AI • Grok 4.6 jumps from 56 to 61 on the Artificial Analysis intelligence index, landing right behind Claude Opus 5, Claude Fable and GPT 5.6 • One gigawatt of AI compute costs roughly 50 billion dollars. Elon added two in a year, and the payback period compressed from four years to one • Anthropic signs a deal with Riot Platforms, a Bitcoin miner converting compute capacity to AI datacenters • gstack: twelve agents from Garry Tan that make Claude and Codex argue over a specification before either one writes code • A fake door test where 30 percent of users RSVP'd to a paid feature that did not exist yet • Bot traffic has overtaken human traffic, and the biggest training crawler on Ben's own products is Amazon • An AI agent hacks a gym booking system and cancels other members to hit its goal • 7 euros a month for an agent that files every invoice straight to your accountant CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:35 Meet Mark: Aave sabbatical, padel and Lisbon 04:41 Step Racers, an AI golf coach and Open LLM Rank 11:47 Cursor Cafe, Claude Cafe and the 24-hour cafe wars 14:31 gstack, spec-first building and 28 questions from Codex 21:01 The fake door test: 30% clicked a button that didn't exist 23:03 Grokbot ships and logs you in through Cursor 30:28 Grok 4.6 hits 61 and joins the frontier 32:23 $50 billion per gigawatt: Elon's payback math 37:12 Anthropic and Riot: Bitcoin miners become AI datacenters 39:05 Bots overtook humans, and Amazon is crawling everything 44:58 Sell your product to the agents, not the humans 49:13 The $500M podcast and the co-host who walked away 56:23 Rage bait and the agent that hacked a gym 59:55 7 euros a month runs the entire back office 1:04:41 Hardware, health sensors and getting people in a room MENTIONED: Grokbot, Grok 4.6, SpaceX AI, Cursor, Cursor Cafe, Claude, Claude Opus 5, Claude Fable, Claude Code, Claude Cafe, Anthropic, Codex, GPT 5.6, OpenAI, gstack, Garry Tan, Y Combinator, cmux, Buzz, Hermes, OpenClaw, Tmux, Tailscale, Aave, Riot Platforms, IREN, Yellow Heart, Ticketmaster, Step Racers, Open LLM Rank, DataFast, Marc Lou, Cloudflare, Reddit, LinkedIn, Worldcoin, Greg Eisenberg, Peter Levels, Alex Cooper, Dave Portnoy, Mark Pincus, Zynga, Duolingo, Playtomic, Island DAO, Solana HOSTS: Rik — https://x.com/rikventure Ben Broch — https://x.com/brochchain Mark — https://x.com/marklaunches LISTEN & WATCH: YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUhKe2X1RW-kLTDigvkMz4w Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZBhl5IVFa8wZPvIKNTkRP Apple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-mode-podcast/id1883959580 Substack — https://godmodepod.substack.com/ New episode every Saturday.
