The episode opened with a check-in and a brief look at Andy Halliday’s Life Chronicle project before moving into early experiences with Fable V inside Claude Code. The hosts discussed Fable’s proactive agent behavior, guardrails, model downgrading, benchmarks, recursive self-improvement, and the cost pressure pushing companies toward smaller sovereign AI models. They also covered Perplexity research on AI agent ROI, creative AI developments at Tribeca and in music, and the broader question of how artists adopt new tools. The closing AI in Science segment focused on how AI is beginning to model smell, taste, flavor chemistry, recipes, and future food design.
