Argon's cost is an API-equivalent estimate (about $8.92, partial coverage); Muse Wonder Full's usage wasn't recorded (it ran on the $50/month plan). neither is a bill.\n\nalso: REA takes apart any app, Grok Bot sold a $500 ad (Alex Finn's number), Claude broke git at Anthropic, DigUp searches your Mac by meaning, and a recording device planted in OpenAI's office (charged, not convicted).\n\nchapters\n0:00 Meta and Google say they caught Opus\n0:15 Gemini 4 Argon + Muse Wonder Full\n1:46 this is the LAB\n2:01 let's find out\n2:09 REA takes apart any app\n3:08 Grok Bot sold a $500 ad + LennyClaw\n5:10 Tibo's day 9: Codex on disk\n5:29 sponsor: Threadify\n6:09 Claude broke git at Anthropic\n7:04 DigUp searches your Mac by meaning\n7:50 a bug planted in OpenAI's office\n9:17 BuilderBench: who caught Opus?\n10:52 the lock and the reveal\n11:55 every score\n13:37 outro\n\nthanks to today's sponsor, my software Threadify - your lead generation agent:\nhttps://www.threadify.app/home?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=lab-0021&utm_content=sponsor\n\nwant to sponsor a future episode? sponsors@lennysaibuilders.com\n\nLenny's AI Builders - the LAB. all the AI news you need,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/P0B9fKUWl01KOkVXqQcDv5YBEKR1sflq-Hk71z-fa_U/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MzAx/ZGNmYzY1MmEwNjBk/NzUzN2NmODM3ZWUx/YzMzZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
