In this episode, we discuss Pentagon CTO Emil Michael's claim that export controls can be used against AI labs that won't cooperate, including his account of Anthropic facing export controls after refusing to withdraw a jailbroken AI model. We also look at the next wave of frontier AI models reportedly in development, including Anthropic's reasoning-focused model, Google's Gemini 4 Carbon, and OpenAI's Terra, which is reportedly more capable than GPT 6.1 Sol while costing less. Next, we cover a breach at the open source coding agent OpenCode that ran up charges on users' linked AI provider accounts, and what developers should do to protect their API keys. Finally, Chinese AI developer MiniMax launches M3.1 Flash, a low-cost AI model with a one million token context window, though its unusually wordy output could erode its price advantage.
