The Sphere's $4B Business, explained

The exterior of the Las Vegas Sphere, known as the Exosphere, is a 580,000-square-foot LED display wrapping a 366-foot-tall, 516-foot-wide spherical structure.

Because of this change, you have to consider three things when deciding what AI to use: Models, Apps, and Harnesses. Models are the underlying AI brains, and the big three are GPT-5.2/5.3, Claude Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3 Pro (the companies are releasing new models much more rapidly than the past, so version numbers may change in the coming weeks).

25 Years of iPod Brain

Maybe this is the essential blessing of the iPod: the software gives you the potential for an unlimited musical library, but the hardware's limits still lock you into a committed relationship with the songs you choose.
