Episode notes
Models As Specialized Tools
- GPT-5 excels at solving hard, “stuck” problems while other models handle day-to-day grunt work.
- Hosts now pick models like apps: Sonnet for agents, Gemini for bulk context, GPT-5 for deep reasoning.
People Attach To Model Tunes
- Users care about model identity and tuning because they form attachments to a model's style.
- Removing familiar model options caused strong backlash and forced OpenAI to restore choices.
Host Models Privately For Stability
- Host organizations should self-host models via Azure, Amazon, or Google to avoid sudden remote changes.
- Private deployments give stability, regional control, and predictable results for enterprise use.
