Description

Join Allen and Mark as they take a first look at the newly released GPT-5 from OpenAI. They dive into the details of what's new, what's changed, and what's missing, frequently comparing it to other models like Google's Gemini. From the new mini and nano models to the pricing wars with competitors, they cover the landscape of the latest LLM offerings. They also discuss the new features for developers, including verbosity settings and constrained outputs with context-free grammars, and what this means for the future of AI development. Is GPT-5 the leap forward everyone was expecting, or a sign that the rapid pace of AI evolution is starting to plateau? Tune in to find out!
