🎙️ EP 154: China’s “AI Death Star,” and Why Claude Is Quietly Changing How Engineers Work

DeepSeek just dropped a model that hits gold‑medal scores and costs 90% less. Runway Gen‑4.5 now beats Google’s Veo. And Anthropic’s own engineers admit Claude is changing how they work in ways nobody expected.

We’ll talk about:

• DeepSeek V3.2 & Speciale beating top US models at a fraction of the cost
• Why Runway Gen‑4.5 took the #1 video model spot
• Robot cops in Hangzhou and the strange future they hint at
• Anthropic’s internal report on Claude: productivity up, human collaboration down
• What these shifts mean for AI workers and builders over the next few years
