The Sunday Download | Week 2 | Feb 8, 2026
207 segments
And welcome back to week two of the Sunday download this
week has been absolutely incredible We received two
different frontier models that dropped on the same day.
This is the first time that this has ever happened So I'm
gonna be covering that as well as new models such as pony
alpha on open router And I'm also gonna be giving you guys
an update on the revenue that bridge mind is now generating
as you guys know we launched the bridge mind MCP last week
and we already are up to a Significant amount of paying
subscribers on bridge mind so I'm gonna cover all those
things today But I'm really excited to get right into it So
with that being said I have a goal of a hundred likes on
this video and let's get right into it Okay so the first
thing that I want to get into is this new stealth model on
open router called pony alpha a Ton of people in the bridge
mind community are talking about this model right now So
this got released on February 6th on open router.
It is a stealth model so we're not sure what exactly it is,
but there is a lot of speculation that this is GLM 5 and
initial reports and tests that people are Trying out show
that this model is actually very good at UI and it is a
very very capable model I was actually in the bridge mind
discord co-working channel the other day and One of the
members of the bridge mind community was showing me what
they were generating with this model and it was very very
impressive So keep your eye out for this model I don't know
for sure what it is,
but this model could release as soon as next week right now
The throughput on it is only 20 tokens per second You know
it is in stealth,
but there is a lot of speculation that this is GLM 5 or it
could be Grok 4.2,
but I think that people are more so thinking that it is GLM
5 But whatever it is it is good and people are really
really excited for it We could get it as soon as this week
But let's keep an eye out for this because this will be a
big model release for sure I now want to just do a brief
overview of GPT 5.3 codecs I've already made a video where
I've used this and given my review on it But just to kind
of summarize if you guys have missed those videos or missed
you know my thoughts on this new model You know these
models GPT 5.3 codecs as well as opus 4.6.
They were iterations They weren't significant jumps in
improvement in coding capabilities They were small
iterations,
and that's what a lot of people expected you know I think
that we'll see that next significant jump when we get
whether it's sonnet 5 or opus 5 or GPT 5.5 or GPT 6 though
That's when we're gonna see a big jump in capability But
these models 5.3 codecs as well as opus 4.6 were small
iterations but one thing that I do want to draw your
attention to in something that we're going to be doing this
week is Anthropic put out this release yesterday So it says
that our teams have been building with a 2.5 x faster
version of Claude opus 4.6 We're now making it available as
an early experiment experiment via Claude code and our API
So they have released now a faster version of opus 4.6 a
lot faster two and a half times faster And this comes at a
6x price increase,
so I want to show you guys this in cursor So I've actually
pull up cursor here What you guys are gonna see is that
right here?
What you guys see is you guys actually see that we have an
opus 4.6 fast and right now It's 50% off until February
16th inside of cursor And it's six times the price which
makes it so that it's thirty dollars per million on the
input and it's a hundred fifty dollars Per million way is
that correct 25 times six yeah a hundred fifty dollars per
million on the output So this is an incredibly expensive
model and something that I'm gonna be doing this week is
I'm actually going to make a video Where I'm going to be
spending one thousand dollars on this opus 4.6 fast model
And we're gonna be putting it to the test to see number one
how good it is and more importantly number two How fast it
actually is but this is a newly released model We haven't
really seen anything like this from anthropic before where
they release a model that literally has a two and a half
time Speed up so we're gonna give this a shot this week But
definitely something to know and understand that this is
now being offered by anthropic It's available in cloud
code,
and it's also available in cursor and other API providers
so with that being said definitely keep an eye on this
Really really interested and excited to test that out for
sure Another important release that happened to this week
was Claude codes agent teams So if you guys haven't seen
this this actually was probably bigger than the opus 4.6
release and a lot of people missed this so I'm over here on
the website You can see that it's at agent teams You can
just look it up at you know look up all the add a link in
the description below But this is an experimental feature
from Anthropic and all you have to do to turn it on is
basically just drop this URL into cloud code and say
activate this or enable This and it will do it for you But
agent teams are basically teams that let you coordinate
multiple cloud code instances that are going to work
together So this is different than sub agents.
I talked about this in another video on my channel.
You should go check it out but agent teams are actually a
huge new feature that went kind of unnoticed by a lot of
people and the reason it went unnoticed is because this is
an incredibly token intensive task and Right now it's not
very you can't really apply this in practice because hey if
you're using a model like opus 4.6 And you're using agent
teams you will easily use 500,000
tokens inside of one task that you're doing with an agent
team so it just is too expensive and I think that agent
teams are a Incredible concept that we're going to be using
in the future,
but right now it's experimental and it's a little bit
expensive So let's give it some time I'm excited for the
new Claude sonnet 5 model whenever it comes out it could be
coming in the next couple of weeks But right now this
feature you definitely should be experimenting with it
because I think that this is a game changer I actually had
it working here Kind of in the background,
but these teams are absolutely incredible And if you
haven't seen it definitely go check it out This is
something that you want to understand and keep up to date
with because agent teams are Much better than sub agents
and it's something that we're going to be using in streams
And it's also something that you should be using inside of
your workflow It is expensive, but if you can afford it,
I would highly recommend it.
It is an incredible feature I literally was creating a team
to build out a particular feature And then that entire team
was working across the API the database the front end and
it was able to one-shot it It was absolutely incredible.
So Definitely something to be mindful of is agent teams are
now in quad code If you haven't checked it out,
make sure you do so.
It's absolutely incredible Alright,
so now I want to cover a couple of different things related
to bridge mind the first one being the vibe-a-thon So we
already have 12 submissions for the bridge mind vibe-a-thon
again There are five thousand dollars in total prizes first
place gets two thousand five hundred second place gets one
thousand five hundred and third place Gets one thousand
dollars the top winners are going to be invited to the
bridge my livestream to demo their projects So if you guys
haven't already submitted your projects,
this is the last week to do So remember that this stems
from February 1st to February 14th So you guys have six
more days to complete your projects and submit them But I'm
really excited to see what you guys have come up with and
I'm excited to see who wins this event But this is going to
be a big event for bridge mind coming up this week I'm
gonna be sharing some of the demos in the live streams this
week But definitely expect to see more out of the bridge
mind vibe-a-thon this week as it's the final week for
project submissions Another thing that I want to cover as
it relates to bridge mind is that we are shipping bridge
voice and bridge space this week Check this out guys.
So last night I was working for hours and hours off stream
And I finally got our Mac OS build to deploy.
So bridge voice is now ready to be pushed to production
We're getting the windows build ready I had to set up
basically my signing certificates in Azure and that is also
going to be ready to ship I just need to configure a few
environment variables and then the windows build will be
ready as well So we are going to be shipping bridge voice
and bridge space to production this week As you guys know,
these are two big products that are in our suite of vibe
coding tools So the bridge mind MCP launched last week I
announced that in week one of the Sunday download and just
to show you guys how we're doing So we already have 62
active paying subscribers to the bridge mind pro plan So
for the bridge mind pro plan,
it's $20 a month you can use the code bridge mind 50 off at
checkout and you get 50% off your first three months and
What's great is that we've already seen 62 people come
through and subscribe to the pro plan And I think that with
bridge voice and bridge space we are adding two new
valuable products to this suite That's going to make those
subscriptions go up even more because for the price of one
subscription you're able to get a super powerful Agent
development environment you're able to get an incredible
voice to text tool and you're able to get an incredible
bridge mind MCP task management tool So those two products
are going to be releasing this week and I will keep you
guys updated with the number of paying subscribers that we
have With bridge minds,
but right now it's 62 active paying subscribers on the pro
plan Which is pretty good for just our first week of launch
and only having the bridge mind MCP available So we're
gonna add a ton of value to this product toolkit and I'm
really excited to see that MRR go up But thank you to all
of you that have already subscribed and are testing this
out I've already talked to a couple of you guys and it
seems like you guys are really liking the bridge mind MCP
So shout out to those of you that I've talked with that are
using this product And I'm really excited for you guys to
be able to test out bridge voice and bridge space will be
using it on stream It's gonna be an incredible week guys
We're gonna be launching both of these products this week
on stream and it's just gonna be a fun week So that's a
little bit of a summary of what's going on at bridge mind.
This week is gonna be a phenomenal week We're gonna keep on
grinding.
We're gonna keep showing up We're gonna be the man in the
arena and we're just gonna keep moving forward.
So that's going to wrap up this week's Sunday download I'm
really excited for what the coming week is going to bring
We're going to be showing up and just grinding and giving
it everything that we have But with that being said guys,
have a great rest of your day Have a great time if you guys
watch the Super Bowl and I will see you guys in the future
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
This week's Sunday Download covers several significant AI developments, including the release of two frontier models on the same day and new models like Pony Alpha on Open Router, speculated to be GLM 5 or Grok 4.2. Anthropic introduced an experimental 2.5x faster version of Claude Opus 4.6, albeit with a 6x price increase, which the speaker plans to test extensively. Claude Code also rolled out "Agent Teams," an experimental, token-intensive feature considered a game-changer despite its current high cost. In Bridge Mind news, the Vibe-a-thon is in its final submission week with $5,000 in prizes, and Bridge Voice and Bridge Space are shipping to production. The Bridge Mind MCP, launched last week, already boasts 62 active paying subscribers, with the new product releases expected to further boost subscriptions.
