AI Model Showdown: Grok 4.1 vs. Gemini 3 | E2211

I heard Gemini three is out. I heard Groc 4.1 is out. Everything is happening so quickly in our industry. Look at what XAI did. Groc 4.1 is really good across a number of metrics.

No. It's been really, really busy. I wanna start though, Jason, with the CloudFlare outage. I don't know if you were awake or asleep. I know you've been going through some jet lag. The the Internet broke this morning. It actually made getting the docket ready kinda hard. It's funny when a news story really impacts us because services like JADGPT and x and other kind of major planks, you might say, of the podcast economy, broke. And for several hours, Claude Fuller had these really embarrassing downtime outages. And the good news is that now that we're here, it has been resolved. They've come out and apologize for it. If you're curious, everyone, what drove this, they said that, quote, a latent bug in a service underpinning our bot mitigation capability started to crash after a routine configuration change we made. And, Jason, you all know this, that cascaded into a broad degradation of our network and other services. Sure. Whatever that means. It was bad, though. Yeah.
