Today on the AI Daily Brief, OpenClaw goes to Open A.I.

And before that in the headlines, the models we got last week and the models that are rumored

to be coming this week.

The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions

in AI.

All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, Blitzy, and Super Intelligent.

To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com.com slash AI Daily Brief.

If you were interested in sponsoring the show, send us a note at

sponsors at AIdailybrief.aI. Now, a couple last things before we dive in. The subject of today's

main episode is OpenClaw and its founder's big move to OpenAI. As you'll see, the excitement

around OpenClaw and the broader agentic opening that it represents is just immense right now.

I've spent the last few weeks thinking about what I wanted the follow-up to the AIDB New Year's

Resolution Project to be.

Almost 6,500 people are participating in that AIDB New Year's program, and so I wanted to do

another free community-driven self-directed education program, and I'm excited to introduce

you to ClawCamp. It's a self-directed project-driven program that'll get you from zero to agent-to-agent team. We're organizing it into sprints with the first official four-week sprint beginning this Thursday, February 19th. When you sign up, you're going to get access to all of the project files, a board where you can share questions, get help, or share the agents that you build, a resource field that is basically being updated every day. I added 20 new resources just this morning, and hopefully everything else you need to start entering this agentic era. Again, this is going to be totally free. You can find it at campclaw.a.i. and also put a link in the show notes, of course, and on the AI Dealey Brief website.

But with that out of the way, let's dive in. We are so jam-packed today because we had a couple

of episodes at the end of last week while I was traveling without the headlines. It's probably

going to take us a couple days to get through everything. But the place that I wanted to start,

and the most important set of updates that we didn't get access to is that last week we got a number of new models. Although we didn't get the non-coding version of GPT-53 to end last week, OpenAI's release of GPt53 Codex Spark could still have a huge impact when it comes to AI coding. This model is all about speed, serving inference at a thousand tokens per second. For those keeping track at home, that's roughly 15 times faster than the regular version of

GPT-53 Codex, which was already noted for being much faster than Anthropics Opus 4.6.
