Episode notes
Frontier capability is arriving before broad access. This episode turns OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol preview, OpenAI's agent-work research, Microsoft's Copilot in Excel finance controls, and Anthropic's Claude Tag into one operator test: before power mode becomes normal mode, name the preview gate.
Who gets frontier capability access, in which surface, with which data and tools, under which safeguards, with what evidence, and who can roll it back?
- Eligible user group
- Approved surface
- Data boundary
- Tool boundary
- Safeguard routing
- Spend and cache budget
- Evidence log
