Podbit · Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Alex Wissner-Gross regressed an exponential curve to frontier model release frequency: one every 60 days in 2024, one every 50 days in 2025, one every 10 days now. The projection: daily new frontier model releases by January 2027. At that point, 'new model releases' stop being news and the conversation has to shift to what AI is actually doing.

Diamandis presents the data on frontier model release acceleration: 13 new frontier models since mid-April 2026 (one every 10 days), versus one every 50 days in 2025 and one every 60 days in 2024 [1] — Alex Wissner-Gross "Alex Wissner-Gross regressed an exponential curve to frontier model release frequency: one every 60 days in 2024, one every 50 days in 2025…" 54:15 . Elon Musk's tweet about his $2 trillion model finishing training 'next week' — potentially exceeding KIMI K3 — is offered as live evidence. Alex Wissner-Gross delivers his extrapolation: regressing an exponential curve to the release frequency data projects daily new frontier model releases by January 2027. The panel grapples with what 'a new frontier model' even means at daily frequency — the conclusion is that continuous versioning makes individual release announcements obsolete, and the conversation must shift to use-case demonstrations. Diamandis's son Jet is cited as the millennial voice: 'Another release, a little bit better — Dad, come on.' The panel agrees he's right that raw benchmark jumps will lose meaning, and application demos will become the new currency of attention.
Since mid-April 2026, 13 new frontier models have launched — one every 10 days — compared to one every 50 days in 2025 and one every 60 days in 2024.
Alex Wissner-Gross extrapolated that if the current exponential trend in frontier model release frequency continues, the world will see daily new frontier model releases by January 2027.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
