GPT-5.5, DeepSeek 4 and Hermes

About this episode

Show Summary

The episode opens with reactions to GPT-5.5, including benchmark comparisons, pricing pressure on Anthropic, and what the new model enables in practice. The hosts then look at DeepSeek 4’s frontier-level open-weight performance and Brian’s one-prompt demo that turns a show transcript into a rich web recap page. In the second half, the discussion shifts to agent memory, OpenAI’s expanding agent platform, security concerns around Anthropic and Mythos, and how privacy features can also be misused. The show closes with local AI on phones through Google Edge Gallery and Google’s new Deep Research upgrades.
