Grok 4 Beats OpenAI + The $300 AI Agent Era | E2150

Today’s show: Grok 4 just leapfrogged OpenAI to become the top AI model—and it’s not just hype. In this episode, Jason and Alex break down Grok’s AGI-level performance, the massive drop in LLM pricing, and why some companies are *raising* prices anyway. They also dive into the Missouri AG’s investigation into AI “bias,” the future of First Amendment protections for LLMs, and how autonomous vehicles are creating a new category: “autonomous commerce.” If you’re building with AI or betting on the future of tech, don’t miss this one.
