Microsoft Scout and MAI Models, OpenAI Codex Agents, GPT-5 on AWS Bedrock
from AI Convo Cast · host AI Convo Cast
In this episode, we cover Microsoft's Build 2026 launch of Scout and its new MAI family of in-house models, including the MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning model trained with "zero distillation." We also break down OpenAI turning Codex into a workplace agent with role-specific plugins for analytics, sales, design, and finance, plus the general availability of GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex on Amazon Bedrock. Finally, we unpack President Trump's narrower frontier AI executive order, which sets up a voluntary cyber capability testing framework for labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and xAI. Tune in for a clear look at how Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, and Washington are reshaping the frontier AI landscape.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft, OpenAI, Amazon, AWS, Anthropic, Google, xAI, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
