Félix reads the whole AI firehose every morning so you read five things, not five hundred.

See what we left out — and why

  • Report: OpenAI to launch a consumer hardware device this fall

    Single unverified source — no second outlet has confirmed it yet.

  • Viral thread: 'AGI is basically here by Christmas'

    Speculation with no new evidence — hype, not news.

  • Study claims AI tutoring doubles grades in two weeks

    Preprint with a tiny sample and no peer review — we'll revisit if it holds up.

The rundown

This morning's broadcast, in order.

Today is a 3/5 news day — 2 stories matter for your courses.

Apple opens the iPhone to multiple AIs

Here's the one that matters today

Big Tech

What happened

At Apple Park, Tim Cook announced a Gemini-powered Siri and a new multi-AI Extensions system for iOS 27 — making assistants like Claude selectable options on the iPhone for the first time.

Why it matters

The biggest consumer device on Earth just stopped being a one-assistant world. Choosing the right AI for the right job is now a mainstream skill, not a power-user trick.

What it changes for you

This is exactly why our courses teach the method across models instead of one app's buttons. Knowing how to pick and direct an assistant just became an everyday-life skill.

Félix's take

This is the day the iPhone stopped being a one-assistant device — and the day 'which AI should I use?' became a question a billion people will ask.

I could be wrong if Apple buries Extensions so deep in settings that almost nobody ever changes the default.

Now, over to Models…

Models

Microsoft ships its own coding models

What happened

Microsoft unveiled MAI-Code-1-Flash, a model that turns written descriptions into working application code, with MAI-Thinking-1 in private preview — while its Foundry catalog now spans thousands of models, including Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8.

Why it matters

Microsoft building its own models — while still selling everyone else's — means more competition, more choice, and falling prices for AI-assisted coding.

For you

Describing software in plain language and letting AI write the code is the exact skill our builder chapters train. The tools multiply; the method stays the same.

Félix

Félix's take

Microsoft selling its own models right next to everyone else's is the clearest sign yet that coding AI is becoming a commodity — which is great news for your wallet.

I could be wrong if the MAI models stay locked in private preview and never reach everyday builders.

Models

Anthropic releases Claude Fable 5

What happened

Anthropic listed Claude Fable 5, a frontier-scale model focused on creative writing and narrative work, among this month's new releases.

Why it matters

Labs are now shipping frontier models specialized by craft — writing, coding, reasoning — instead of one model for everything. Matching the model to the task matters more than ever.

For you

Our 'choose the right model for the job' chapters just got a fresh real-world example. Storytellers and content creators get a purpose-built option.

Félix

Félix's take

Craft-specialized frontier models mean the real skill is no longer finding 'the best AI' — it's picking the right one for the work in front of you.

I could be wrong if Fable stays a niche tool for writers instead of the start of a broader specialization trend.

Let's turn to Models…

Models

Google's Gemini 3.5 wave rolls out

What happened

Gemini 3.5 Flash went GA at Google I/O and is already the default in the Gemini app, with Gemini 3.5 Pro announced as next in line.

Why it matters

Fast, cheap 'Flash-class' models keep absorbing work that needed a frontier model a year ago. The smart move is using the small model by default and escalating only when the task demands it.

For you

This is the cost lever our 'Master Your AI Credits' module is built around: right-sizing the model is the single biggest saving in real AI workflows.

Félix

Félix's take

Flash-class models quietly doing yesterday's frontier work is the underrated story of 2026 — defaulting to the small model is the new smart.

I could be wrong if Gemini 3.5 Pro launches at a price that makes 'always use the big one' rational again.

And to close the broadcast, in Creative AI…

Creative AI

AI video's big shake-up: leaders change, audio goes native

What happened

OpenAI is sunsetting Sora's app this spring and its API in September, while ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 tops text-to-video leaderboards — and Seedance, Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 now generate video with synchronized audio in a single pass.

Why it matters

In creative AI, the #1 tool can change in a quarter — and even a famous product can be retired. Single-pass audio+video also removes a whole editing step from short-form production.

For you

Our video add-on teaches storyboards, continuity and direction — skills that survive every leaderboard reshuffle. The tool landscape blocks in your lessons stay current automatically.

Félix

Félix's take

The lesson isn't who leads the leaderboard this quarter — it's that no single video tool is safe to build your identity on. Skills over tools, always.

I could be wrong if single-pass audio turns out to be a gimmick that creators end up editing around anyway.
