Episode notes
Mythos' Power Forced Restricted Release
- Mythos is a coding leap that could break internet security if widely available.
- Anthropic restricted access to major infrastructure companies like Apple and Amazon so they can patch vulnerabilities before broader release.
One Prompt Rebuilt BrandSnap Overnight
- Gael built BrandSnap with Sonnet 4 and it took two weeks to assemble APIs and frontend.
- When Opus 4.5 arrived he one‑shot the same product with one prompt and better, cheaper APIs.
