Coffee chat: Founders, Builders weigh in on GPT5 and how to build with AI

OpenAI’s latest release arrives with fanfare, but what’s really behind it? On Bold Bets podcast, a panel of founders, developers, and AI power users dig into what GPT-5 actually delivers—and what it doesn’t.

Our experts uncover a paradox: while OpenAI markets GPT-5 as groundbreaking, tests against International Math Olympiad problems suggest the public version lags  behind claims. Is this the most advanced model or a more market ready product?

For everyday builders, the shift is more subtle. Solo founder Phanpos shares how hes build a business with AI as the CTO.. He  once relied on Claude and Gemini, but now keeps using GPT-5 actively—proof that modular, multi-model strategies may be the smartest way to use AI today.

Whether you’re a founder, developer, or just curious , this episode cuts through the noise and offers frontline insights on navigating the evolving AI landscape.
