What do you test after millions of safe miles? Tornadoes, elephants, and flooded suburbs. Waymo is doing just that with Genie 3. We also dig into Claude’s faster mode, ChatGPT’s first real ads, and an AI token breakthrough for robotics. Big shifts are happening in how AI models interact with the real world.

We’ll talk about:

• Why Waymo is simulating disasters to train self-driving cars
• Claude 4.6’s “Fast Mode” and what it costs you
• Adobe testing real ads in ChatGPT and what users will actually see
• Harvard & Stanford’s surprising robotics breakthrough: OAT tokens
