Interesting. So you feel like the— so yeah, I guess how would you characterize the gap between American API models, Claude perhaps specifically, and a DeepSeek? We hear, we're, I think we kind of go through these cycles, right? Where it's like, oh, the gap is closed. Oh, maybe...

The AI Daily Brief
The New Problems AI Is Creating (And How People Are Solving Them)
“In fact, if anything, the speed with which organizations are adapting to this being the new challenge set should be extremely encouraging for the corporate sector overall.”
“Just for calibration, how many tokens are you finding businesses have? Like when you say with these 2 levels, you can get to 2 billion tokens. I don't have a great intuition for, does that cover a 20-person team? Does it cover a team that's been in business for 5 years? What's...”
“That said, now think of a company that's got, you know, 3 to 7 hours of meetings per day per employee, you know, times 2,000 employees. That, that is, that meetings are when you really start to rack up tokens really, really quickly.”
“The smaller organizations are going to be at an advantage, both because they are going to be able to short-term figure out this AI-native organization”
“one thing that I do think AI is so great at, is like you can literally get into whatever AI program you're using and you can start researching something and it can walk you through and it can help you get exposure to ideas, refine ideas.”
“You think it's important that enterprises throughout the economy adopt AI in order to keep ahead of China. But can you talk about what are the risks?”
“I want to help legacy companies that have amazing balance sheets, have fantastic intellectual property, And I want to help them basically emerge AI native in a very defined period of time”

“At the moment, I don't feel like learning the next tool or the next thing is where I need the team to go. You've learned what you need to learn at this point. Now, are you gonna take it upon yourself to change the way you work or not?”
“That's awesome. So it sounds like February or so, beginning of 2026 is kind of this Code Red, then rolling out specifically, it sounds like Cursor, which is an agentic coding tool, but used often by non-coders to be able to do things like loops, automations, workflows, agentic...”
test the theory that Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2 had reached frontier performance at a fraction of the cost. In practice, what the study found was that at least for this use case, they were both around the same level as Sonnet 5 and much more expensive than GPT-5.6 SOL.
Lindy Teammate: Flo Crivello on Multiplayer Agents, Memory & Why He'd Ban the Chinese Models He Uses
One big question that brings to mind is how you are managing caching. And then caching is, of course, is just one, you know, angle on managing cost in general. So maybe we could expand beyond caching and talk about cost management.

Hop. Fine-tuning as a dimension in this whole model situation. This is another thing, if I go back in time, I'm like, I definitely expected a lot more fine-tuning than we are getting.
what does it even mean to be a frontier lab if DeepMind is not a frontier lab? I would have just assumed that they are, but like, what does that even mean? I don't know.
Lindy Teammate: Flo Crivello on Multiplayer Agents, Memory & Why He'd Ban the Chinese Models He Uses
I think like what we are releasing today is called Lindy teammate. It is an AI employee that lives in your Slack, connects to all of your tools, accumulates your entire teams context. And it's really like a team scaffold. I think like AI right now is in the middle of making th...
