What major surprise open-source model launched this week and why does it matter?
This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
It seemed like this week we were going to have a quieter week in terms of big AI releases that you can actually use today. But then late Thursday, we got a new soon to be open source model that completely resets the. proprietary versus open framework. So yeah, as always, some surprises, some new updates and some quality of life improvements. So if you spend most of your week inside of AI tools, the problem is under the hood and sometimes only on a random tweet, these companies release some big updates that change how all of these products work. And unless you spend hours, you're going to miss those. But that's what we do on our Friday Features show. So on today's show, you're going to learn what open source model is, again, resetting the open versus proprietary landscape.
You're going to learn how to quad on desktop is getting a lot more useful. And you're going to see why OpenAI made another big change to its new and very popular chat GPT work desktop app. All right, let's get into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. My name is Jordan Wilson, and we do this every day. This is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter helping business leaders like you and me keep up with the nonstop avalanche of AI updates. I tell you what matters, what doesn't. You use that information to be the smartest person in AI at your company. Everyone's like, wow, how'd you do this? And you're like, well, I went to youreverydayai.com and signed up for the free daily newsletter. And well, you listen on the podcast and
Maybe on the live stream. So thanks for doing that. And if you are looking for that AI news, make sure to check it out in today's newsletter. All right, let's get straight into it and talk about our first new update, which I'm like, bless up. It's about time because I don't know about you, but with all these desktop apps and I've been trying to use them just like never leaving. So when I go into, as an example, Codex slash chat GPT work, I try to not leave, right? Really change how I do my work. And one of the big downsides with Claude Desktop is you really couldn't do that until this week. That's because Anthropic did finally add their new desktop browser. So yeah, bringing a browser inside of Claude Desktop.
So here's what's new. Anthropic added a built-in browser to the Claude code desktop app, which lets Claude open external websites and actually click type and interact inside of them while it works on your code. So Claude can now open whatever you need inside of the Claude app, whether that's your API docs, a bug tracker, dashboard, whatever it may be. So it's not just reading the pages inside of there. It can act on them. uh anthropic says safety is layered in as classifiers review every click and keystroke claude makes on external sites and the first time claude touches a new site you get a permissions card to allow or deny it every site needs its own approval so That's one of the things for me, I'm like, ah, that's a downside.
But overall, this is a big step forward for Anthropic, putting it more in parity, mainly with Codex slash ChatGPT work and also Cursor, which I've always said were the top two in terms of super app. So now Anthropic Cloud Desktop can finally enter the conversation and we'll see, presumably, we'll have Windows with their new Super app, Microsoft Copilot entering. We think it should be probably by next month. So who has access? Anyone running the Claude code or, you know, I just call it the Claude desktop app because it's not just Claude code, but the Claude desktop app on Mac in Windows. And you do need a paid plan to take advantage of these features. So an important choice, though, that they made, the profile uses a completely clean profile.
So none of your saved logins, none of your history, etc. And that's one of the big updates that actually OpenAI rolled out to their chat GPT work last week as they unveiled the non-technical version of OpenAI.
