About the Episode

About The Episode:

We break down one of the busiest AI news days of the year and focus on what it means for colleges. We cover Google’s Genie 3 “world model,” OpenAI’s new open-weight reasoning models (GPT-OSS 120B/20B), and Anthropic’s Opus 4.1 gains for coding agents. Then we shift to the big story for campuses: ChatGPT “Study Mode” and Gemini “Guided Learning,” plus Google’s free Gemini Pro for students and a $1B education push. If you run marketing, admissions, or student success, this episode helps you plan pilots for fall, cut model costs, and rethink onboarding and tutoring with AI.
