Hermes AI DESTROYS OpenAI Codex?
Hermes Beats OpenAI Codex, DeepMind Drops Antigravity CLI, and Musk Teases AI Satellites
The episode covers four fast-moving AI stories relevant to building AI-driven businesses in 2026: OpenAI Codex is reportedly slowing down and losing reliability, with over 1,700 posts in 24 hours prompting public switching—mainly toward Claude Code—while early benchmarks show the self-improving Hermes Agent outperforming Codex on key speed tasks. Google DeepMind also released Antigravity CLI, a new terminal-based coding agent tool positioned as a replacement for Gemini CLI, enabling more complex agentic coding workflows from the command line with free testing under token limits. Elon Musk teased a forthcoming detailed design reveal for TerraFab, a Tesla/SpaceX/xAI project aiming to put AI compute in orbit via satellite-based data centers powered by constant solar energy and different cooling dynamics, potentially lowering AI costs industry-wide. The script advises building AI workflows in modular layers so tools can be swapped without rebuilding everything, and promotes the AI Profit Boardroom’s coaching and agent operating system.
