Listen "GPT-5 & OpenAI Open Weights / Genie-3 Worlds / 1-Day Gene Editing / Robot Dogs / RtoA #7"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla dive into one of the most explosive weeks in AI so far. OpenAI stunned the community with a rare double launch, releasing GPT-5 alongside brand-new open-weights models, and the ripple effects are already being felt across the tech world. DeepMind’s Genie-3 is here too, offering playable, promptable, physically consistent worlds that could change how games and simulations are built. We also explore how CRISPR-GPT is turning complete beginners into gene-editing experts in just a single day, and why some jaw-dropping robot dog demos are making people wonder if it’s time to rethink where this is all heading.And don’t forget — you can find previous episodes of The Road to Abundance on the ENGX SPACE YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@engxspaceDownload MP3: https://aia.simplecast.com/episodes/115NAVIGATION00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:46 – OpenAI: GPT-5, GPT-OSS, ChatGPT Agent & Study Mode00:32:48 – Anthropic: Funding U-turn & Claude Code Sub-agents00:34:20 – Meta: AI in Interviews & Super-intelligence Vision00:34:23 – Microsoft: Edge AI Upgrades & $4T Milestone00:44:47 – Amazon: Bee AI Wearable Acquisition00:55:17 – Mistral: Le Chat Deep Research & Codestral Upgrades00:56:12 – Google: Veo 3 API, Genie 3, Gemini 2.5 & AlphaEarth01:06:42 – China: Qwen Model Parade01:09:03 – Tencent: HunyuanWorld & LeVo Text-to-Audio01:09:53 – Z.ai: GLM-4.5 Lineup01:10:29 – Runway: Act-Two Motion Transfer & Aleph Video Editing01:12:21 – ElevenLabs: Eleven Music Launch01:13:55 – JetBrains Junie: Code-fixing Agent & OSS Support01:15:09 – Benchmarks & Mishaps: HLE, ARC-AGI-3 & Stack Overflow01:17:30 – Law & Order: US AI Race Plan & EU AI Act01:19:41 – Science & Tech: CRISPR-GPT & Cancer-targeting Proteins01:29:31 – Robotics: Tesla Robotaxi Expansion & Chinese Farm Automation01:30:16 – Ethics & Culture: AI Music, Job Risk Study & Industry Trends01:39:52 – Final WordsSERVICES AND LINKS FROM THE EPISODE🔹 OpenAI prepares to release GPT-5: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligence/openai-prepares-gpt-5-for-roll-out🔹 Horizon Alpha — possibly the secret GPT-5: https://x.com/OpenRouterAI/status/1950713168193282078🔹 Leak of OpenAI model parameters: https://x.com/secemp9/status/1951162373361803522?s=46&t=pKf_FxsPGBd_YMIWTA8xgg🔹 Introduction of ChatGPT Agent: https://futurism.com/openai-new-ai-agent-food-stadium🔹 Anthropic seeks investment in the Persian Gulf: https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-dario-amodei-gulf-state-leaked-memo/🔹 Sub-agents in Claude Code: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/sub-agents🔹 Meta to allow AI in job interviews: https://devby.io/news/meta-razreshit-ispolzovat-ii-na-tehsobesah🔹 Meta’s superintelligence mission: https://www.meta.com/superintelligence/🔹 Amazon acquires Bee: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7353453923795378176🔹 Edge with Copilot Mode: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/ai-powered/copilot-mode🔹 Le Chat updates from Mistral: https://mistral.ai/news/le-chat-dives-deep%20🔹 Codestral update: https://mistral.ai/news/codestral-25-08🔹 Access Veo 3 via Gemini API: https://developers.googleblog.com/en/veo-3-now-available-gemini-api/🔹 Conversational image segmentation in Gemini 2.5: https://developers.googleblog.com/en/conversational-image-segmentation-gemini-2-5/🔹 Try segmentation in AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apps/bundled/spatial-understanding?showPreview=true&appParams=task%3Dsegmentation-masks.🔹 Video Overviews in NotebookLM: https://blog.google/technology/google-labs/notebooklm-video-overviews-studio-upgrades/🔹 Opal platform: https://developers.googleblog.com/en/introducing-opal%20🔹 Win at International Math Olympiad: https://www.heise.de/en/news/OpenAI-and-Google-win-gold-at-the-Math-Olympics-10496839.html%20🔹 Deep Think in Gemini Ultra: https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-2-5-deep-think/🔹 AlphaEarth Foundations by DeepMind: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphaearth-foundations-helps-map-our-planet-in-unprecedented-detail/🔹 Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct🔹 Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct: https://hf.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct🔹 Wan2.2 (open-source video MoE): https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.2🔹 HunyuanWorld-1.0 — 3D world generator: https://github.com/Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanWorld-1.0🔹 LeVo: https://github.com/tencent-ailab/songgeneration🔹 Runway Aleph: https://runwayml.com/research/introducing-runway-aleph🔹 Classics reimagined by Aleph: https://x.com/blizaine/status/1950203241150530043?s=46&t=dUCVh9akIWxxNUIkrDJwJg🔹 FUZZ-2.0 by Riffusion: https://producer.ai🔹 JetBrains Junie updates: https://blog.jetbrains.com/junie/2025/07/the-agentic-ai-era-at-jetbrains-is-here/🔹 Free Junie request form: https://www.jetbrains.com/junie-github#theroadtoabundance #gpt5 #genie3
