OpenAI's Spud: The GPT-6 Era Is Coming!

March 27, 2026·13 min·1 clip

Insiders suggest Spud may be natively multimodal, trained on text, audio, and images simultaneously from the ground up, changing how AI feels to interact with.

This episode analyzes OpenAI's upcoming AI model codenamed 'Spud,' reporting on its development timeline, the extreme sacrifices OpenAI made to build it (like shutting down Sora and canceling a Disney deal), and its potential technical breakthroughs in native multimodality and audio. It also examines the competitive pressures from Anthropic, Google, and others that led OpenAI to declare an internal 'code red,' and offers practical advice for listeners on managing expectations and choosing AI tools.
