Moltbook, Kling 3.0, Model Wars (Opus 4.6 vs. OpenAI Codex 5.3)
Episode 30! On this milestone episode of Creative Flux, hosts Pierson (@piersonmarks) and Bilal (@deepwhitman) celebrate half a year of the podcast and dive into one of the most stacked weeks in generative AI yet.
We break down the surprise drop of Claude Opus 4.6 (which literally launched mid-recording), Google's Genie 3 world model and its mind-blowing Halo recreation, the massive Kling 3.0 update with multi-shot prompting and native audio, and TrueShort — the AI movie studio that hit $2.4M revenue in just six months. Plus: agent swarm architectures, Cloud Code power-user workflows, the MoteBook debate, and a JellyPod 2 teaser.
