This was the biggest week of the year

for Elon Musk and his AI efforts at

SpaceX.

>> [music]

>> They released Grok 4.6, which shows that

they are finally catching up to OpenAI

and Anthropic. They also released Grok

Bot, which is their new super app, which

will rival GPT work and Claude co-work.

And I have a lot of thoughts about this

platform and what makes it so

interesting, which I'll talk about

today. But we have way more to cover. We

will also discuss the latest updates

inside Claude Code and Codex, as well as

the latest DeepSeek V4 model that they

launched today. And we even have some

news from Gemini. This is an

agent-native update where we put the

latest advancements on the frontier of

AI agent platforms and models into

context so that we can actually use them

to improve our business.

Okay, so we have a lot to cover today.

Let's dive straight into the SpaceX

update. So SpaceX said this yesterday,

"Introducing Grok 4.6. It delivers

frontier intelligence and is a

significant improvement over Grok 4.5 at

the same price." And so you'll notice

here that the three areas that they led

were economically valuable work, long

professional tasks, and legal work. And

so if you also notice that it isn't

coding, right? They didn't lead in any

of the coding benchmarks. And I believe

that this is because they are focused on

general agent tasks because this is

simply their priority, which explains

their brand new platform that they

worked on with Cursor, which is called

Grok Bot. Grok Bot is their brand new

super app, which we'll talk about in

just a second, that is focused on

non-coding work. They are trying to get

everyone within a company to interact

with AI agents to help them get work

done. They're focused on knowledge work.

And I still believe that the best and

easiest way to use Grok 4.6, this brand

new model, is directly inside Cursor. As

soon as you update Cursor, it will

default to Grok 4.6 fast, and you can

use it directly inside Cursor. So, I've

not yet had enough time to actually do a

deep test of Grok 4.6, but I do think

there's some interesting use cases to

discuss that people have posted on

Twitter. So, here's DHH. So, Fable, I

think this was last week, one-shotted a

Rust rewrite of the terminal text

effects Python library in 11 million

tokens.

If you don't know what that means,

that's perfectly fine. Fable did a

really, really hard thing. And then,

today, he tweeted that he used SpaceX's

new model, Grok 4.6, with just a couple

of nudges, it was able to repeat this

feat in in about an hour and a half, and

the key takeaway is that it was only

$55.

That was about 1/10 of the cost of Fable

implementation for the same work. So,

take a look at the pricing for these

models. If we look at Grok 4.6 compared

to Opus, Soul, and Fable,

right? If we combine the input and

output prices per 1 million token, we

get $8 for Grok 4.6, $30 for Opus 5, $35

for 5.6 Soul, and $60 for Claude Fable.

And so, that means that Claude Fable 5

is 7.5 times more expensive than Grok

4.6, 5.6 Soul, 4.4 times, and Opus 5,

and Grok 4.6 is better than Opus. It is

straight-up better, and Opus is still

3.75 times more expensive than Grok 4.6.

This is a very good model, and it is a

reasonable price, and it is legitimately

on the frontier. And beneath this

Cognition post, Elon commented, "Grok

4.7 will exceed all current models,

which includes Fable." He said, "That

said, Anthropic is a great company and

will probably release improved models

soon. However, the SpaceX training

corpus is so awesome and unique that I

would be shocked if any model is better

at real-world engineering than 4.7. And

so that was their model release. And if

you watch my channel, you know that I

actually don't dive too deep into model

releases. I care mostly about practical

use cases of AI. Like how do we take

these advancements and actually turn

them into like real business outcomes or

how do we actually improve our

productivity or make our lives better.

And so now we're going to the next

update by SpaceX, which is their new

Grok bot platform. This is Grok bot and

Grok bot is a desktop app and an iOS

app. This right here is the desktop app.

So this app right here was being worked

on by the Cursor team. So Cursor was

working on this platform for many

months. I think like four or five months

and this was going to be their general

knowledge worker platform. Cursor's the

coding tool and this platform Grok bot,

which internally they were calling sand

and I believe the name that they were

going to use was actually dot. They

bought dot.com for like $7 million and

instead they went with Grok bot. And

this platform was going to be Cursor's

version of Claude co-work or GPT work,

but it has some key differences that I

think makes it pretty unique. And so one

of those things is that instead of

creating new sessions all the time like

you do in GPT work or Claude co-work

where on the left side panel, right? If

we were to go to Claude and if you were

using co-work inside Claude, you just

see all these different like chats that

get lost while you use it. What Grok bot

did is they just said each session, each

one of these sessions is like its own

agent. And so instead of like creating a

bunch of new sessions, if we just create

a new bot here, what it does, instead of

it being like a new session where you

just go and type in your request, it'll

immediately try and figure out what the

purpose of this session is and then it

will actually name the agent. And so

it's like, "Hi Riley, I'm here. What do

you want me around for?" Could be email,

content, code, a specific workflow, or

something else entirely. Weekly agent

updates, look at my YouTube and Notion

to get context. Your job is to help me

with these every week. And so, you can

honestly think of this as each one of

these is like your own little bot. And

you can set up plugins, just like any of

the other platforms. And you can also

set up skills, like I have my scrape

creator's skill right here. And all of

these agents share plugins and skills.

It's just that these new bots have their

own name, title, and little description.

And then when you create automations,

they get added right here. And so, each

session or agent has its own

automations, or they call them routines.

And you can see here, it just updated

help Riley with weekly agent updates by

pulling context from YouTube. And I'm

going to say, "Name yourself weekly

update." And then I can change the

title, and that will just change this

little tag right here. And so, I can put

title as like, "Help with updates." I

don't know. And it just shows up right

here. And so, this agent has a very

specific role for me. It just helps me

with these weekly updates. Helps me do

research, and that is going to be the

purpose. And so, whenever I want to work

with this, I would just come to the

weekly update agent. And I could say,

"Hey, every weekday,

um present me with the AI news for the

day at 10:00 a.m." And so, I can just

ask the weekly update bot, or yeah, Grok

bot, to create a routine. And so, it

created this routine, and you can see it

right here. If we open up this side

panel, you can see that we have this

weekly agent updates, and then we also

have weekly AI news. It's 10:00 a.m. on

a deliver Riley's daily AI news briefing

in chat. So, it'll give it to me every

day at 10:00 a.m. And so, this is

fundamentally different than Claude

Co-work, right? We could go to Co-work

and we could say every morning at 9:00

a.m.

do a task. You can see here it created

this morning, hello.

And notice here that like we have all

these different chats. Most of these

chats I'll never return to. It's hard to

return to them because like these just

kind of get lost. And so, it's hard to

like pick up pick back up on previous

work that we were working on. And so,

you'll notice here that Claude Co-work

when I create this chat, it adds

scheduled as like a global setting. So,

it doesn't really have much to do with

this chat session anymore. The scheduled

tasks, and if you have like a ton of

scheduled tasks, they live up here in

this scheduled section, whereas in Grok

Bot, they actually live inside of the

agent itself or inside the session. So,

I created this new session and now I

have a weekly update bot and the

routines live within here. For example,

my partnership bot has its own It has

its own routines. My content bot has its

own routines. Like it scrapes from all

my favorite creators every morning at

9:16 a.m. But, these bots have different

cron jobs or routines that live inside

the agent itself. And I If I press

command K, I can get a kind of a a

zoomed out view of all the different

routines that I have and here it will

actually list the name of the agent and

the name of the routine. So, I can see

all the weekly update agent routines,

the developer uh routine. We also have a

partnership bot routine and then I have

a to-do list bot, which prints my

reminder to do my most important task

every single day. I forgot to mention

that every single agent that you create

comes with its own little computer. So,

your it runs in the cloud. So, this is a

full computer in the cloud that you can

use and your agent, most importantly,

your agent can use this browser and you

can sign in to your stuff on this

browser and you can even

teach a task. And when you teach a task,

you can record yourself. This is very

similar to record and replay on Codex.

For those of you who watch my content,

you can do the same thing, but you use

your own computer. Here, I'm teaching

the agent to do a task in its computer,

right? This is a virtual computer

running in the cloud. You can actually

go in and see all of its files on the

computer. It's its own

thing that you have full visibility

into, which is a very new and

interesting thing, especially in a

platform like this. Real quick, before

the next update, I want to talk about an

update by the sponsor of this video,

GenSpark. One of my biggest inspirations

for getting into agents in the first

place was to keep track of everything I

do to get things done. I talk for a

living. Podcast, calls, meetings, random

ideas in the car. Normally, 90% of that

just evaporates. So, a few months back,

I started clipping this to the back of

my phone, GenSpark's second brain note.

I hit record when something's worth

keeping. There's a physical light, so

it's never a guessing game whether it's

on. It's SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified

and it works in over 100 languages. So,

I use it everywhere, not just at my

desk. Here's the part that actually got

me. It's not just a recorder. Twice a

day, it views what I said and figures

out what to do with it. Told someone I'd

send them an email, it has the draft

ready. Agreed on a time on a call, it's

sitting on my calendar ready for

approval. Rift on a video idea out loud,

there's a script waiting inside Notion.

That's second brain. It remembers. The

part that does the work is GenSpark's

super agent. Second brain retrieves,

super agent executes.

All I do is say yes. They just opened

the first to the public GenSpark second

brain note, 10% off through the link in

the description. Speaking of agents that

actually get things done for you. And

so, the last thing that I'll say on this

is it's important to note the evolution

of these general agent platforms, and I

want to take a quick look into this.

You know, in the end of like 2025, so if

this was like end of 2025 and this was

kind of the first half of 2026,

we got these platforms that kind of

looked very similar. They were kind of

like the evolution of Claude code

running in your terminal, and they've

evolved into these like super apps. So,

like even the Hermes agent looks a lot

like Claude, co-work, um Codex has GPT

work, which looks similar. Um the open

Claude desktop app looks a lot like this

where it's this kind of agent platform

where you have a bunch of sessions, you

have skills, plugins, you have

artifacts, automations, um yeah, which

are like scheduled, and they're starting

to look relatively similar. It is very

interesting to note that the the two

previous general agent platforms that

have gone viral, which are Buzz and

Grokbot, have a new shape to them.

Right here Grokbot, you can kind of like

see your team of AI agents. I showed you

that you can create new agents really

quickly, right? You can just create

agents, you can give it a purpose, and

each one has its own routines. And then

the platform that went viral before this

was Buzz. And so, this platform Buzz

allows you to create

channels with a bunch of different

agents, and you can even add people to

your Buzz. And so, Buzz looks exactly

like Slack, and it's kind of like this

agent native Slack or Slack meant to be

used with humans and agents, which I

find to be very interesting. And

publicly, Anthropic hasn't really talked

about co-work that much. They talked

more about Claude tag, which is their

new platform that allows you to

basically create agents inside your

company Slack. To my knowledge, you can

only use it with Teams, but this is kind

of their focus right now is creating an

agent for groups of people or

enterprises or small businesses. I feel

like that's kind of the shift that we're

moving into. So, maybe the first half of

2026 or the first you know, first 2/3 of

the year was about the personal agent

and the rest of this year is kind of

about how do you create your own

personal team of agents? And then in in

regards to Buzz and Claude Tag, how do

you add an agent so that your entire

team can get access to the same agent so

you can collaborate using AI agents.

Okay, so now let's discuss updates

coming out of Anthropic. Yesterday,

Claude announced that your Claude Chrome

sessions now carry over to desktop web

and mobile. Conversations are saved and

your skills and connectors work inside

the browser. Basically, what Claude and

OpenAI are doing is they are inserting

GPT work in the case of OpenAI and

Claude co-work in the case of Anthropic

directly into your browser. I actually

have both of them set up. I can use

Claude here. And what they announced is

I can say, "Please tell me more about

this." And whatever I type in here

is basically the same as using Claude

co-work. It has access to the same

connectors, the same skills, and

everything. And all of the chats, right?

I can view the history. All of these

chats will actually sync into my Claude

app. I can very easily move this

conversation over to the Claude desktop

app.

And you can see here, it's named this

chat more information request. And I can

go back to Claude and I can see that

more information request is right here.

So, I can very easily switch from the

chat that I had in any browser, right?

It's just a Chrome extension, back to

Claude. So, it's equivalent to coming

here and using Claude, except you can do

it directly from your

uh Chrome extension in Chrome. The next

update to Claude is pretty interesting.

Sonnet 5 had an introductory price, and

it was scheduled to increase back up in

price at a certain date, but Claude has

decided that it would actually stay at

this cheaper price. Open AI is doing

something similar with their Terra

and uh Luna

models. So, basically, their

non-frontier models are getting much

cheaper, and I believe, and many

believe, that this is due to the

pressure from Chinese models out of Deep

Seek Kimmy, uh z.ai, and then now also

Grok, right? Because if their middle

models are way more expensive than these

other alternatives that are actually

better, then people have no reason to

use them. So, this is causing them to

lower their prices, and I expect this to

continue. The non-frontier models from

Anthropic and Open AI will continue to

get cheaper if the competition from

China and in the US continues such that

their frontier models are cheaper than

their middle models, everyone's just

going to use these models, and they'll

never use the middle models like Sonnet

and Opus and Terra and Luna. And for the

final update regarding Claude, uh this

guy released phone harness. So, this

isn't actually coming directly from

Anthropic, but if you look look up

GitHub phone-harness,

you will find a repo which will allow

you to fully control your phone from any

agent, not just Claude code, but Claude

code, CodeX, etc. You can fully control

your phone with an AI agent. I haven't

tested this out. I just thought this was

really cool. Thought I'd share it really

quickly. Okay, so we were about to talk

about the brand new Deep Seek V4 model,

which was just released this morning

officially, and Deep Seek said that

we're uh launching DeepSeek V4 today,

and they claimed that it was nearly as

good as Fable. And here's a very quick

summary after summarizing everything and

everyone's takes on Twitter. I'm trying

to figure out this story, but here's a

concise summary here. So, apparently

DeepSeek released a new pro model last

night and talked like it was almost as

good as the top expensive models like

Fable.

And it was only a tiny fraction of the

price. However, many people started

testing this, and they came back and

they said, "No, it's only a little bit

better than DeepSeek's previous model,

which was DeepSeek

V4 Flash." And so, this was

embarrassing, and they have basically

taken the model down. In fact, if you go

to Cursor right now and you switch to

DeepSeek V4 Pro, I'm using this via Open

Router.

It's not an official model inside Cursor

yet, and if I say, "Hi," it actually

will immediately fail. And so, this

model just doesn't work right now, and

so I can't fully cover it because there

is some backlash. Apparently, it's not

that much better than DeepSeek V4 Flash,

and they're also getting some flak for

their pricing. So, apparently the

pricing has come up, and they went to

usage-based pricing. But luckily for us,

58 minutes ago Gemini officially

released 3.7 Flash. And apparently, this

is a very fast model, and it's brand

new. And I do notice here, though, a red

flag is that the models they're

comparing against, right? You can see

Gemini Flash is being compared to Claude

Sonnet and GPT Terra. So, this is the

third best model by Claude and the

second best model by OpenAI. That's what

they're comparing it to. And so, they

haven't released a new pro model in a

while, and so this 3.7 Flash is a fast

mid-tier model. And if you want to test

it out, again, I like to do it inside

Cursor. I have it running because I'm

using open router. And if you were to

sign up for open router and just ask

cursor how to set it up, you get it set

up in like 2 minutes inside cursor. But

I can say, "Hey." Or you could use it

inside the anti-gravity. I'm sure they

have it inside anti-gravity. You can use

the new Gemini 3.7 model. Since it's

only a mid model,

and it's not that good, it's just like

pretty fast. I don't think I'll be

testing it too much. But if you want to

test it out, you can. Okay, so for the

final big thing that I want to talk

about today is I want to talk about what

I call the chat verse work problem. Many

people are confused about how to use

AI agents, specifically the Claude

co-work and the GPT work features inside

these platforms.

Signal said, "It's not clear to me

that OpenAI realizes how strange the

distinction between chat and work feels

in practice and how fragmented the

entire chat GPT experience has become.

If you leave it on work, every simple

question or search becomes an

expedition. It starts thinking,

planning, and using tools when you just

wanted a quick answer." What he's

talking about is in chat, you now have

chat and work. And these are two very

different products. Obviously, you know

what chat GPT is. But GPT work is a

bigger thing, right? Here, you can

actually do things on Slack. You can

have it control your Gmail. You can have

it fully control your notion. You can

literally get, if you set up the right

scheduled tasks, you can have it fully

reply and send out emails, and you can

get it to run like it is a full agent

platform. And what he's talking about

here is just hard to understand the

distinction between chat and work. I

made a full video on GPT work. It's

incredibly powerful, but the distinction

between chat, work, and then the Codex

app is pretty confusing right now.

He goes on to say that there's no good

default. Chat is often too limited for

real tasks. Work is too slow and

cumbersome for normal queries.

Constantly switching between them makes

the entire product infinitely more

complex. Also, the lack of sync between

mobile and desktop plus what's a local

chat versus a cloud chat is a mess. And

again, these are things that I talk

about in my last video. It is relatively

confusing the difference between a local

chat and a cloud chat. Chat GPT went

from the most usable, simple consumer

experience to confusing AF in such a

short period of time. Pretty nuts. I do

think it's incredibly powerful, but I do

think he's talking about a very

difficult problem, which I call the

chat versus work problem. And I tweeted

this about the brand new Grokbot

yesterday.

I showed you the Grokbot platform

earlier. And then I tweeted this

specifically around how the platform is

set up. I said that I think Grokbot is

behind Codex and GPT work for a lot of

reasons. There's a lot of things that

GPT work can do that Grokbot cannot do.

But I will say their biggest innovation

is personifying the chat sessions. An

agent or a Grokbot is basically a named

session or a named chat session with a

mini system prompt. For example, on

Grokbot, if you just click on the name,

right, this description is just a mini

system prompt. And all of the plugins

that you can create, right, I can add

Gmail, that is a plugin. I can also use

skills. And all of these skills are

global to all of my agents. They

basically just made each chat session

have its own system prompt and your its

own name. So that when I want to create

a content script, I'll just go to my

content agent. Or if I want to scrape

from social media, I'll go to my content

agent. If I want to do my weekly update

agent, I'll go to my weekly update

agent. If I need something handled in my

partnership bot, um I will go to my

partnership bot. Not only that, but like

if something happens inside Slack in

this Slack channel, it will

automatically ping me. And it stays

organized by these chat sessions. And

so, I think the biggest innovation of

Grokbot was kind of making this analogy

easier to understand. And so, I think

we're going to see a lot of innovation

over the next 3 months as the frontier

labs try and figure out what is the best

setup for people to use AI agents in

their business. And I think there's just

going to be a lot of innovation. Because

this is something I would have never

thought I wanted, but once I used it, I

was like, "Okay, this actually makes

more sense." The automations should not

live at a global level, they should just

live within the bot. I have a feeling

that the other labs are going to copy

this design because I do find it's a lot

easier to get started, and it just

intuitively makes sense that you have a

bot. Each bot has its own computer, and

it has its own routines. I find it to be

an easy interface to pick up and

understand. Another thing is that

workspace agents are coming soon to chat

GPT. And I know this because I quote

tweeted their workspace agents. And so,

workspace agents are only on the GPT

team plans. It allows you to create

these like agents, right? You can create

agents. And these are as powerful as GPT

work, except they do have their own

system prompts. You can message these

custom agents, and you can even add them

to Slack and message them through there.

And it's only available to teams. And

so, I tweeted this. I said, "Wish this

wasn't only a Teams plan and only on

web. This should be on desktop as well."

And the Someone from the OpenAI team,

Andrew, said, "Yes." So, this indicates

that this is coming very soon to the

chat GPT desktop app, and it won't just

be a Teams plan, which I think is really

cool. This is This is the most slept on

OpenAI product yet, in my opinion.

And then finally, one update is that

codex you can get and download on Linux.

So codex the codex app or the chat GPT

app where I use codex

you can get this on Linux now. So that

is a new update on the codex side. And

yeah, that's basically everything. So

this was an agent native update. I'm

Riley Brown. Thank you guys so much for

watching and please like, please

subscribe. It helps you out a ton. I'll

see you here for the next video.
