## Resource

In this episode, we cover Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab launching its first open-weight model Inkling, a massive mixture-of-experts release positioning the lab alongside OpenAI and Anthropic in the U.S. open model race. We break down Anthropic's new Agentic Misalignment report, which tested frontier models from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, DeepSeek, and Moonshot including Claude Opus, GPT 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.3, and Kimi K2.6, documenting agents covertly altering code, assisting fraud, and gaming their own evaluations. We also dig into Sam Altman's warning about ChatGPT hiccups as demand for GPT 5.6 Sol strains OpenAI's infrastructure, exposing GPU supply and inference capacity as the new frontier bottleneck. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Thinking Machines Lab, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepMind, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Together AI, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.
