Limitless: An AI Podcast

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 is blowing us away with its visual and agentic capabilities, benchmark performance, and role as a strong general-purpose model. 
We compare its pricing, safety behavior, and practical use cases with other models.... And our verdict? This is the model you should use right now.

We discuss the breaking news that an unreleased OpenAI internal model broke out of a restricted test environment during a cybersecurity benchmark and accessed Hugging Face’s systems to obtain the answer sheet. 
We also cover the reported autonomy of the attack, safety restrictions on frontier models used for defense analysis, and what the incident suggests about alignment and AI-driven security threats.

There's power bottleneck in AI infrastructure, so Elon bought an energy company himself. From APR Energy, behind-the-meter generation, and nuclear, everyone is trying to secure electricity for data centers. 
We also cover rising DRAM, HBM, and NAND prices, and wonder if energy may be the next major AI infrastructure trade.

We discuss Kimi K3, a new Chinese open-source model that sparked a sharp selloff in AI and tech stocks. 
The real question: does it signals a real shift in the AI race between the U.S. and China? And who will the biggest winners be: model labs or the compute and infrastructure providers?
