EP #43 Is the Cost Apocalypse Already Over?

AI token costs in 2026: why Luna 6 at 40x cheaper than Fable may end the cost panic, and what Codex computer use actually did in four hours.

Kevin Williams and Matt talk through the state of agentic AI right now: the jump from OpenClaw and Hermes to Grokbot and computer-use models, what Meta’s Muse is actually for, and why Google paid $10 million for a dead airline’s Slack messages.

In this episode:

– Kevin runs out of Codex tokens for three days and explains the $100 vs $200 plan trap

– Luna 6 ships with computer controls at 40x less per token than Anthropic’s Fable

– Codex logs into Tag Manager, Analytics, Search Console, AdWords, Slack and HubSpot and finishes a week of campaign setup in four hours

– Why Kevin refused to give Muse his Amex login, and what it did to his kids’ Canvas account

– Google buying Spirit Airlines’ operating data to build a sandbox digital airline

– Whether Anthropic’s inference demand in early 2026 cost it the training race
