Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

The next 12 months of AI leaked. 

Kinda. 

For the past 90ish days, we've been quietly collecting evidence of what's next.

1,030 saved posts. 90 Podcasts. Countless conversations. Every model drop, every leak, every quiet product update the big labs hoped you'd scroll past.

Then we connected the dots.

What came out the other side: 19 calls on where AI goes over the next 12 months. And some of them are uncomfortable.

We're walking through all 19. 

Bring your team's AI roadmap. You'll want to edit it. 👇

AI’s all-you-can-eat era is ending. 🍲

For years, one subscription felt like unlimited access to frontier models.

But that business model for the AI labs apparently breaks when agents can now run for days, use tools, retry work and burn through tokens.

And with Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 model exiting subscription tiers today and moving to API only pricing, it's as imperative of a time as ever to figure out your AI spend strategy. 

Frontier AI is becoming a metered utility. On today's show, we teach you how to deal with it.

Talking about prompts and chatbots won't help you talk about AI strategy in 2026. 

You've gotta know the ins and outs of loops, plans, goals, subagents and more. 

In this episode of Everyday AI, we're breaking down the agent lingo and how the key terms play out in systems like Codex and Claude Desktop.

Is the open model GLM-5.2 really Opus 4.8 level? 🤯

You mighta missed this, but over the past few weeks, three distinct forces have all converged at one: 

↳ Chinese open models are near frontier SOTA
↳ Microsoft is reportedly considering open models to run Copilot
↳ Enterprises everywhere are talking token efficiency as AI costs soar

So while many are watching GLM-5.2 as an isolated model, it's important we dive deeper on its wider implications.
