    EP26: The crypto to AI pivot & SpaceX drops Grokbot + Grok 4.6

    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.

    EP25: 25 lessons in 25 episodes

    SpaceX was down 35% since IPO and the unlock ladder is landing exactly as Rik called it on episode 15. Rik and Ben grade 25 episodes of AI calls: Anthropic vs OpenAI, Claude vs Codex vs Cursor, and why DeepSeek's pricing doesn't even show up on the chart. It's episode 25 — a quarter of a hundred. Just Rik and Ben this week (Luca's off), so they used the milestone to pull 25 lessons out of the archive and grade every one against what actually happened. IN THIS EPISODE: • Grading the SpaceX bear case from episode 15 — down 35% from IPO, the $101B unlock ladder landing exactly as called • Rik cancels the $100 Claude Max plan again, and explains why Cursor plus Codex replaced it • A developer turned $800 in AI subscriptions into $50,000 of coding value • DeepSeek's pricing is so cheap it doesn't register on the chart, then a price hike lands mid-episode • Gavin Baker's supply and demand math: token demand is 10xing, supply is only 3xing next year • 25 episodes, 25 graded predictions across three storylines: OpenAI vs Anthropic, open vs closed source, and the Elon Corner • Why Ben thinks we still haven't hit AGI, a year after Manus made everyone think we had CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open, the SpaceX call 00:31 Hello everyone, 25 episodes and three wars 01:26 Ben's Brooklyn life, Rik turns 30 tomorrow 01:58 Claude is now Ben's full-time editor 04:43 The U-turn, content versus maxing tokens 06:46 Alex Finn's ChatGPT Voice hype, graded 10:22 The goals myth, then $50K for $800 in subscriptions 13:16 Opus burns 100x more tokens than Terra 15:02 DeepSeek, too cheap to see on the chart 17:40 Gavin Baker, 10x demand, 3x supply 20:48 The average intelligence thesis, restated 22:32 Google Trends, Claude versus ChatGPT, Codex versus Claude Code 25:02 The SpaceX bear case, graded 28:03 25 lessons, war one, OpenAI versus Anthropic 34:32 Rik cancels the $100 Claude Max plan again 37:59 25 lessons, war two, closed versus open source 45:52 25 lessons, war three, the Elon corner deep dive 51:26 Lesson 25, we haven't hit AGI MENTIONED: Claude, Claude Code, Claude Max, Opus, Sonnet, Fable, Mythos, ChatGPT, ChatGPT Voice, Codex, Sora, Cursor, Composer, Grok, SpaceX, Elon Musk, DeepSeek, Kimi K3, ElevenLabs, Airtable, Figma, Vercel, Supabase, Gavin Baker, Alex Finn HOSTS: Rik — https://x.com/rikventure Ben Broch — https://x.com/brochchain Luca Arrigo — https://x.com/LucaArrigo_ Listen and subscribe: 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.

    EP24: Bittensor subnets & the AI agents debate

    Bitcast's Will Blears joins Rik and Ben for the AI agents debate: Claude Code, Buzz, Hermes, and Kimi K3 — plus how Bittensor subnets actually work and why creators are becoming miners. Then: whether open-source tools are about to replace SaaS subscriptions for good. Will breaks down how Bitcast turns creator marketing into a decentralized brand-deal marketplace built on Bittensor subnets — brands fund content briefs, creators get paid on real audience performance, and AI validators check the work matches the brief. From there the conversation widens into how Rik, Ben, and Will actually run their AI agents day to day, why one coding harness burned 9x more tokens than another for the exact same task, a live look at Jack Dorsey's new "Slack for AI agents" tool Buzz, and the story of Anthropic buying and physically destroying books to train Claude. IN THIS EPISODE: • What Bitcast actually is: a decentralized brand-deal marketplace built on Bittensor • Why build on Bittensor instead of Stripe and a database • TAO staking explained in plain English • Compute vs. content creation: 40% of Bittensor's network is inference/compute • Mapping X influence networks to stop incentive exploiters • Kimi K3 across 3 coding harnesses — Claude Code cost 9x more tokens for the same task • Will's real agent stack: Hermes, Linear tickets, and Agent Orchestrator • Buzz: Jack Dorsey's new "Slack for AI agents," demoed live • Open-source tools quietly replacing Granola, Whisperflow, and other SaaS subscriptions • Anthropic bought and destroyed physical books to train Claude — the Project Panama story CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:31 Welcome Will Blears (Bitcast) 01:36 What is Bitcast: the Bitcoin of intelligence 03:57 Will's path into Bittensor 08:12 Why build on Bittensor instead of Stripe 11:01 TAO staking explained + the Jason Calacanis tweet 15:31 Compute vs. content creation: 40% of the network 19:39 Live demo: a Bittensor subnet handles 25% of OpenRouter 22:22 Open source, decentralization & stopping incentive exploiters 27:13 Tokenizing SaaS revenue: the TrustMRR idea 31:10 Kimi K3: Claude Code costs 9x more tokens 34:28 Will's real agent stack: Hermes, Linear, Agent Orchestrator 39:30 Buzz demo: Jack Dorsey's Slack for AI agents 53:20 The idea: HR performance reviews for AI agents 54:10 Is open source eating SaaS subscriptions? 1:03:40 Anthropic bought and destroyed books to train Claude 1:09:14 Close + where to find Will/Bitcast MENTIONED: Bitcast, Bittensor, TAO, Dynamic TAO, Kimi K3, Claude Code, Kimi Code, Hermes, Buzz, Jack Dorsey, Agent Orchestrator, Linear, Granola, Whisperflow, Fluid Voice, Super Whisper, Can I Vibecode It, Anthropic, Project Panama, Claude, OpenRouter, Chutes HOSTS: Rik (https://x.com/rikventure), Ben Broch (https://x.com/brochchain).

    EP22: GPT 5.6 Sol vs Claude Fable — is OpenAI winning?

    Apple is suing OpenAI over stolen trade secrets, Codex admitted nerfing GPT 5.6 Sol, and Anthropic tripled your Claude rate limits to stop you leaving. Three AI builders break down the week AI got petty. Rik (Midcurve Labs), Ben Broch (three SaaS products) and Luca Arrigo (ten years, five industries) go through the rate-limit arms race, the Apple v OpenAI espionage complaint, Codex Micro, the $500M AI companies nobody's heard of, and Kimi K3's jump to frontier pricing. No Claude Corner this week. Sam Altman took the segment. IN THIS EPISODE: • Ben does the math on the rate-limit war: twice-weekly resets plus 50% higher limits means roughly 3x the tokens for the same price • The Fable vs GPT 5.6 Sol split, tested against a production SaaS with paying customers on the line • Codex DevRel posts "no nerfing, only good stuff" and admits reverting "juice values" further down the same thread • Apple sues OpenAI: 400 ex-employees, a VP of 24 years, and a second engineer who kept hacking Apple's file server after he left • The Steve Jobs email to Adobe that shows how this used to get handled • Codex Micro, a $240 eight-key macropad, gets roasted from three directions • Chamath's 8090 CTO: inference spend doubling every 45 days, with the marginal gains getting more expensive • Kimi K3 prices at 5x K2.7, and why China's efficiency play is the real threat to the frontier labs • PayPal employs as many people as Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI combined, and Stripe just bid for it CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open 00:49 Welcome to EP22: Codex is eating Claude 01:58 The rate-limit arms race: 3x the tokens 03:40 How far we've come: shipped in 2 days 05:22 Sam Altman is poaching Claude users 07:10 GPT 5.6 Sol vs Claude Fable 09:25 Can GPT 5.6 Sol be trusted? 11:45 The Claude situationship 13:50 A million users a day is a bad number 17:06 I cancelled Claude Max: the $60 stack 18:53 The GPT 5.6 nerf: "no nerfing, only good stuff" 23:42 Apple sues OpenAI for trade secret theft 29:11 Codex Micro: a $240 keyboard 34:16 LinkedIn is 60% AI content 36:23 The $500M AI companies nobody's heard of 41:53 Why AI got expensive instead of cheap 45:56 Stripe wants to buy PayPal 47:26 Outro MENTIONED: Claude, Fable, Opus 4.8, Anthropic, Codex, GPT 5.6 Sol, ChatGPT, Codex Micro, Sora, OpenAI, Cursor, Composer, Grok 4.5, Kimi K2.7, Kimi K3, Mythos, Apple, the Steve Jobs to Bruce Chizen email, Johnny Ive, Mercor, Together AI, Surge AI, Lambda, Fireworks, Lightning AI, Scale AI, Alexander Wang, Lovable, ElevenLabs, Perplexity, Manus, Chamath Palihapitiya, the All-In Podcast, 8090, Stripe, PayPal, Whisper Flow, Replit, Polymarket, CryptoPunks.

    EP21: The new AI stack — Claude Fable plans, GPT5.6 builds, Grok 4.5 grinds

    Grok 4.5 matches Opus 4.8 at a tenth of the cost, GPT-5.6 "Soul" ships under government review, and Anthropic extends Claude Fable 5. The biggest AI week of the year, for builders. Rik, Ben and Luca break down what's actually usable this week versus marketing: the Grok vs Fable cost gap, the 3-model stack where Claude plans and Grok does the cheap grunt work, OpenAI retracting the SWE-bench benchmark, Cloudflare's x402 agent payments, and Europe's surveillance week (face-scanning cars and chat control). IN THIS EPISODE: • Grok 4.5 lands on par with Opus 4.8 at about 70% less per task • The 3-model stack: Claude plans, GPT-5 executes, Grok 4.5 grinds • "Claude is the CEO telling OpenAI to go build it" • Ben's call: free Fable ends behind a $500 to $1,000 per month plan • OpenAI retracts SWE-bench right before shipping GPT-5.6 "Soul" • ChatGPT's live voice demo, and the aunt who talks to "Timmy" more than her husband • Cloudflare x402: get paid when agents scrape your website • Europe Corner: new cars watch your face, and chat control passes CHAPTERS: 00:00 Cold open — the 9-to-5 rant and paragliding with a WhatsApp stranger 02:56 Episode 21 — still top 1% of podcasts 03:56 Who's where: Brooklyn, Bansko, Albania 06:44 Grok 4.5 lands — on par with Opus 4.8, trained on Cursor 09:26 Do you need the best model if it's 10x cheaper? 10:51 The qualitative era: picking a model is taste now 15:18 Claude and Codex cut this whole podcast 16:30 GPT-5.6 "Soul" and the government gatekeeping releases 20:11 The 3-model stack: Claude plans, GPT executes, Grok grinds 24:00 Fable extended to July 12 and the coming $1,000 per month tier 26:27 OpenAI's 5% stake and the spokesperson problem 27:30 ChatGPT Live voice demo — "we found a flaw" 32:05 Talks to Timmy more than her husband 34:56 OpenAI retracts SWE-bench — are benchmarks broken? 37:55 Quickfire: levels.io goes native iOS 41:07 Nomad Table vs Nomads.com — IRL wins 43:35 Hermes: agents fully in the cloud 45:39 Cloudflare x402 — get paid when agents scrape you 50:00 Europe Corner: your new car watches your face 53:46 Chat control passes — a sad day for Europe 58:30 Claude's monthly recap and /checkup — screen time for Claude 1:02:03 Outro MENTIONED: Grok 4.5, Cursor, SpaceX AI, Claude Fable 5, Opus 4.8, Anthropic, GPT-5.6 "Soul", Codex, OpenAI, ChatGPT Live, Bridgemind, SWE-bench Pro, Hermes agent, Replit, Lovable, Cloudflare x402, Coinbase, Firecrawl, levels.io, Nomad Table, Nomads.com HOSTS: Rik — https://x.com/rikventure Ben Broch — https://x.com/brochchain Luca Arrigo — https://x.com/LucaArrigo_ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@godmodepod Newsletter: https://godmodepod.substack.com/ New episode every Saturday.

    EP20: Fable 5 Just Shipped, and Anthropic Has a Bigger Problem

    Fable 5 just shipped, and Claude Sonnet 5 turned out more expensive than Opus 4.8. Then Anthropic told the US government that Alibaba ran the largest known AI model theft on record — 28.8 million exchanges through nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts. Episode 20 of God Mode Pod. Rik, Ben, and Luca break down what's actually usable this week versus marketing hype: Fable 5's real coding limitations (including a $321 session that got silently routed to Opus 4.8), why Cursor, Coinbase, Shopify, and Airbnb are all quietly running Chinese AI models now, the chip war heating up (OpenAI's own custom chip, two 22-year-olds building GPUs 10x faster than NVIDIA, Anthropic reportedly in talks with Samsung), and OpenAI proposing to hand the Trump administration a 5% stake in the company. We close on OpenClaw and Cursor both shipping mobile coding agent apps on the same day — proof that coding from your phone isn't a thought experiment anymore. Timestamps: 00:00 Cold open 01:31 NYC heatwave, Bansko cold plunge, and the AI meetup layoffs everyone's noticing 06:49 Fable 5 first impressions 10:24 The $321 coding session Fable quietly routed to Opus 13:02 Luca ships a product on Codex + Vercel + Supabase, drops Replit for good 14:48 Claude Sonnet 5: more agentic, somehow more expensive 19:53 The US government starts gatekeeping AI model releases 21:14 Anthropic accuses Alibaba of the largest AI distillation attack on record 22:39 Why Cursor, Coinbase, Shopify, and Airbnb are quietly on Chinese models now 24:53 OpenAI's own chip, and the 22-year-olds building GPUs faster than NVIDIA 35:11 OpenAI offers the US government a 5% stake in the company 41:32 Why your coding agent might leave your laptop within 6 months 46:40 OpenClaw and Cursor both ship mobile agent apps on the same day 50:40 Meta burns $221M a month on AI tokens 53:58 X ships an MCP server for real-time data access 59:11 Content of the week, and closing out episode 20 Hosts: Rik (x.com/rikventure), Ben Broch (x.com/brochchain), Luca Arrigo (x.com/LucaArrigo_) Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUhKe2X1RW-kLTDigvkMz4w Newsletter: https://godmodepod.substack.com/ New episode every Saturday.

    EP19: Claude joins Slack, SpaceX unwinds & Fable 5 returns

    Claude edited Ben's entire video from an hour of raw footage: tagging clips, writing the script, cutting his retakes, rendering it. Then Claude showed up in Slack as a teammate. Three AI builders break down the news that actually ships this week. Rik, Ben and Luca on AI video editing crossing a line, Claude landing inside Slack as an agent you can tag, and the markets testing how much of the AI hype is real. IN THIS EPISODE: • Ben hands Claude an hour of raw clips and it tags, scripts, cuts his retakes, builds motion graphics in code, and renders the whole reel • The real bill: ~2M output tokens, 123 messages, 5 drafts, 40 minutes per render • Claude Tag: Claude joins Slack as the "11th employee" with two years of context, and the lock-in nobody's pricing in • Have the LLMs plateaued? The Gartner hype cycle and why the next leap is the application layer • SpaceX unwinds ~$1T, the pension-fund "rubbish and FUD" smackdown, and why Europe has no AI winners • Fable 5's return odds jump 15% to 60%, Zuckerberg's prediction-market app, and why Ben thinks ElevenLabs gets acquired before EP30 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro — Luca's 27-hour drive from Malta 01:44 Ben let Claude edit his Vietnam reel 07:22 The cost: 2M tokens, 5 drafts, 40-min renders 09:54 "Tell CapCut what you filmed today" 13:30 Create or connect (Rik's build filter) 15:14 Claude Tag — Claude joins Slack 19:49 The lock-in: renting your memory from Anthropic 21:08 Google vs Microsoft stacks + the hype cycle 23:46 Have the LLMs hit a plateau? 28:01 SpaceX IPO unwinds 31:03 "That's rubbish and FUD" — pension funds 35:54 Europe has no AI winners 38:19 Mistral is a tragedy 39:18 Europe's heatwave: bottle caps & no AC 41:34 Fable 5 is coming back (15% to 60%) 43:50 Zuckerberg's prediction-market app 48:13 ElevenLabs — prediction of the week 54:13 Outro MENTIONED: Claude, Claude Code, Opus, Fable 5 (Anthropic), Remotion, CapCut, Roll (by Alfie), Slack, Salesforce, OpenAI, SpaceX, Mistral, FluidStack, Meta, Llama, Scale AI, Gemini, Grok, Karpathy, Polymarket, Kalshi, Cursor, ElevenLabs, Nano Banana Pro.
