Anthropic’s Mythos is Back, OpenAI Releases GPT 5.6, Apple’s Price Increases

Mythos is back and OpenAI's most powerful model, GPT-5.6, is out too, but will the public ever get to see either of them? And Apple hikes prices massively to keep pace with memory prices. Is it greed? That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. This episode is brought to you by Genesis.

What does it actually take to put Agentic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then, I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentic CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news in our traditional, cool-headed and nuanced format.

We have a great show for you today coming a bit later than usual, but we are here on the feed. We're going to talk about the return of Anthropics Mythos, the debut of OpenAI's GPT 5.6. OpenAI, by the way, may be delaying its IPO to 2027 or maybe it won't. We'll discuss that. And Apple hikes the prices up on MacBooks and other devices by anywhere between the teens and 30%.
