New AI Models Released, Lex Heading to SF to Build
By

Claude Opus 4.6 & GPT Codex 5.3 out today, and OpenClaw recently. And I'm sure xAI/Grok & Google/Gemini will soon be out with more. What an exciting time to build stuff! I'm walking around with a smile, happy & sleep-deprived 🤣 Next week, I'll come to SF/Bay Area for a few days/weeks/months to hang out & build some stuff 😉 Looking to focus on programming, and contribute to good engineering teams. But occasionally socialize, in as much as my introvert brain allows. 2026 is going to be fun (and wild), LFG! PS: I'm doing a deep-dive podcast on OpenClaw with its creator (@steipete) soon. Let me know if you have questions.
