This Day in AI Podcast · 2025-12-23 · 1h 23m
The Gift of Simtheory: - 2025 Model Timeline: It's the long-anticipated holiday special... except Mike and Kris forgot to prepare so it's just a normal episode. This week: Gemini 3 Flash drops and it's actually incredible - cheap, fast, and weirdly smarter than Gemini 3 Pro at tool calling. We put GPT Image 1.5 head-to-head against Nano Banana Pro using hobo photos (spoiler: Google wins again). Plus, FireCrawl Agent is the research tool we've been waiting for, Anthropic launches Skills as an open standard, and we do a full 2025 model timeline recap. Also featuring: Best and Worst Model of the Year awards, 2026 predictions where Mike bets on OpenAI (controversial), and the full holiday musical outro where AI sings about what an "average" year it's been.
