Episode notes
Integration Beats Raw Benchmarks
- Model capability is less important than how models integrate with connectors, cost controls, and UX.
- Effective routing to smaller models and workspace tool integration now drive real product value.
Gemini Failed A Sheets Task
- Andy tried to get Gemini in Sheets to classify expenses across tabs and it repeatedly lost its memory mid-process.
- He switched to Claude which succeeded because it had Google Drive access and retained context.
Neuralink Shows Real BCI Progress
- Neuralink's implanted BCI enabled a quadriplegic to speak while controlling a robotic arm, showing major practical progress.
- This highlights AI's role in smoothing noisy neural signals into usable control commands.
