In this episode, we dive deep into the explosive internal details and leaks surrounding OpenAI’s next major AI model, codenamed Spud. Described by CEO Sam Altman himself as a “very strong model” that could “really accelerate the economy,” Spud has already completed pre-training (as of late March 2026) and is now in the critical post-training phase.

We break down everything the public knows so far: rumors of native multimodality, major leaps in agentic behavior, OpenAI’s dramatic strategic pivot (including shutting down the standalone Sora app and API to redirect resources), the shift toward world simulation for robotics, and the broader race toward AGI amid fierce competition from Anthropic and Google.

From safety, governance, and ethical challenges to the massive economic implications, this conversation explores both the incredible promise and the serious responsibilities of frontier AI development.

Whether Spud becomes the breakthrough that reshapes industries and daily life or the next major stepping stone, the next few weeks could define the future of AI.
