  • Users intuitively think 'the AI you talk to should be the smartest', but voice mode is actually the weakest link
  • Andrej Karpathy: free Advanced Voice Mode fumbles simple questions while paid Codex can spend 1 hour restructuring entire codebases
  • Code domains have two advantages: verifiable reward functions (unit test pass/fail) making RL training easier, and high B2B value attracting more team focus
