This Day in AI Podcast · 2026-02-27 · 1h 2m
Join us on the STILL RELEVANT tour: Join Simtheory: TDIA Discord: Horse Egg Lifecycle Infographic: - So Chris, this week... we're diving into Google's new Nano Banana 2 image model - 50% cheaper and supposedly faster (when the servers aren't melting). We put it through its paces with annotation-based editing, slide generation, and yes, the return of the legendary horse egg experiment. Plus: Google quietly kills Gemini-3 after just a few months (good riddance?), we discuss why the model was "dead on arrival" for agentic workflows, and break down the real story behind those massive AI layoff announcements from Block and WiseTech. Spoiler: it's probably not actually about AI. We also get into the current state of the model wars (Opus 4.6 vs Codex 5.3), why smaller models like GLM-5 might be the future for enterprise agentic tasks, and Chris's wife teaching Claude to literally speak to her using Mac's text-to-speech. The models are getting creative.
