AI Hero Podcast -- July 10, 2026: GPT-5.6 Sol & Grok 4.5 & Anthropic IPO

This episode of The AI Hero Podcast covers three landmark AI stories from the week of July 10, 2026 -- the most consequential AI news day in recent memory. OpenAI and SpaceXAI each launched competing frontier models on the same day, a first in AI history, while Anthropic prepares to go public at a near-trillion-dollar valuation.

In this episode:

• OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra & Luna go public after a 12-day White House-gated preview; Sol scores a new TerminalBench 2.1 record of 91.91%, beating both GPT-5.5 and Anthropic's Mythos 5
• SpaceXAI Grok 4.5 launches the same day -- 1.5 trillion parameters, Cursor-trained, Opus-class power at $2/$6 per million tokens, significantly undercutting rivals
• Anthropic's IPO S-1 filing targets an October 2026 Nasdaq debut at $965B valuation, with $47B ARR and $2.5B+ from Claude Code alone -- potentially the first trillion-dollar tech IPO
