Local AI Models Are Here, Mythos Rumors, and Building an AI Agent Company

In this episode, recorded across two continents with
  Mark in Fukuoka, Japan and Shashank by the Ganges River in
  Rishikesh, India, the hosts dive into the rapidly evolving AI
  landscape. They explore how ChatGPT has reached mass adoption even
  among yoga practitioners and Ayurvedic doctors in India, discuss
  the newly released Gemma 4 and its surprising quality as a local
  model, debate the rumors around Anthropic's powerful Mythos model,
  and examine the recent Axios npm supply chain attack. Most notably,
   Mark shares his experience building a largely autonomous software
  development workflow using AI coding agents and Playwright MCP —
  burning through $350/month in AI subscriptions but achieving the
  output of a 50-person engineering team. They discuss the future of
  AI agent-driven companies and why human taste still matters in
  product design.
