This Day in AI Podcast · 2026-02-06 · 1h 2m
Join Simtheory: Register for the STILL RELEVANT tour: It's the model same-day showdown of 2026. Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 dropped within minutes of each other, and we're breaking down what this means for the future of AI work. In this episode, we unpack Opus 4.6's million-token context window (if you've got billies in the bank), why Codex's pricing makes it nearly impossible to ignore for agentic loops, and the real cost of running agents for 24 hours ($10K, apparently). We dive deep into why coding-optimized models are secretly crushing it at non-coding tasks, the mental fatigue of managing AI workers, and whether the chatbot era is actually fading or just evolving. Plus: Chris accidentally books three real pig grooming appointments, we debate whether you need a "life coach agent" to manage your agent swarm, and yes - there's an Opus 4.6 diss track that goes unreasonably hard.
