Frequently asked questions

Why do Linda Duursma and Erik van Doorn speak of an AI price war?
OpenAI, SpaceX AI and Meta launched new models almost simultaneously, GPT-5.6, Grok 4.5 and Muse Spark 1.1. Token prices for business users dropped sharply, which can move pilots into production but pressures smaller providers.
What is notable about the Taiwanese economy in this episode?
Industrial production is up almost 23% year on year and the official electricity index has been deep red for 15 months. Factories use so much power that the economy is officially classified as booming.
What does OpenAI announce around Codex according to the episode?
OpenAI hints all week at a Codex reveal, the company's coding assistant. Speculation ranges from a new programming model and a Linux app to voice control or a workspace running several AI helpers at once.
