## Resource

Anthropic keeps shipping, and this week Tik and Chris try to make sense of the pace. They cover managed agents — what they are, who they're actually built for, and whether the cost makes sense for anything beyond a serious build. They also get into the rumored Mythos model, why Anthropic chose a controlled rollout over a public launch, and what Project Glasswing signals about where cybersecurity is headed. The conversation then turns to the partner program and what it really means to add Anthropic to your consulting toolkit. And through all of it, one question keeps coming up: OpenAI has been quiet — suspiciously quiet — and Tik and Chris aren't sure if that means they're falling behind or loading up for something big. If you've been trying to keep up with how fast this space is moving, this is a good episode to start with.
