Limitless: An AI Podcast

The Chinese open-weight AI model GLM 5.2 compares with leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic on coding and development tasks. 
Today, we cover the shift toward cheaper AI models, the difference between open weights and closed models, and the U.S. government’s reported ban on Anthropic’s most powerful model after security testing.

Today we're following up on SpaceX’s public debut, its sharp rise in valuation, and whether the move signals a major opportunity or an AI bubble. With the small share float, the upcoming unlock schedule, and the possible impact of added supply on volatility, the stakes are only going to get higher.
We also touch on SpaceX’s reported $60 billion acquisition of Cursor and its connection to AI development... And the big debate: is SpaceX better suited for short-term traders or long-term holders?

This is a turning point for AI. Today, we discuss Anthropic’s release and quick withdrawal of its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after a U.S. export-control notice raised national security concerns. 
We also cover the reported jailbreak, Amazon’s role in escalating the issue, and what the episode suggests about government involvement in access to frontier AI models.
