π¨ OPENAI'S "SPUD" IS ALREADY IN THE WILD (AND IT RIVALS MYTHOS) Brad Gerstner just went on the All-In Podcast and confirmed that OpenAI's highly anticipated "Spud" model (expected to be GPT-5.5) is already being tested behind closed doors and the early reviews are insane. Addressing the recent wave of skepticism surrounding the company, Gerstner claims we are currently at "peak OpenAI FUD," warning that: "It would be seriously foolish to count out OpenAI... it starts with great researchers and great models. And I think when you see the Spud model they're about ready to release, I think it's going to be an excellent model, shows that they're firmly on the wave." When Jason Calacanis presses him on whether anyone has actually gotten their hands on the new model yet, Gerstner confirms the quiet rollout, stating that: "People are using Spud, right? So it is being previewed." When asked exactly what those early testers are saying about its capabilities, Gerstner drops a massive comparison, revealing that: "They're telling us that it's an incredible model on par with Mythos, right? And that it's a very usable model in terms of how it's packaged."
