Meta Muse Surges After Launch

The episode focused heavily on the shifting competition between OpenAI and Anthropic. Data discussed from Ramp showed Astra accounting for 13 percent of tracked enterprise AI spending versus 8 percent for Claude, while OpenRouter reportedly saw OpenAI models lead Anthropic in spending for the first time in more than two years. That came alongside discussion that Anthropic may be preparing another model release as OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI all appear to have major launches waiting. The hosts also examined why existing models sometimes behave differently before releases, including a bizarre Gemini 3.8 Flash hallucination and the possibility that compute gets reallocated during rollouts. Other topics included Meta Muse and Instinct personal agents, AI governance, a robot-safety benchmark, an erroneous AI-generated military intelligence report, and UMG and Sony’s latest lawsuit against Suno over training data.
