| WELCOME | Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt. . | | TOP LAUNCHES | OpenAI’s answer to Claude Code | | Codex turns plain English into working code in your terminal and inside your favorite IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf. Ask for a function, a refactor, tests, or a CLI scaffold. It reads your repo, proposes diffs, runs commands, and explains what changed without yanking you out of flow. GPT Realtime is a developer API for live, interruptible voice. Stream audio both ways, cut in mid sentence, keep context, call your own tools, and run it over WebRTC. Build assistants that feel like a quick call instead of a slow bot. MAI Voice 1 is Microsoft’s new in-house speech model for Copilot. You can try it in Copilot Daily and Copilot Labs. The promise is simple: more natural delivery, faster replies, and voice answers you can stand to hear across the Microsoft stack. xAI’s API brings Grok Code Fast into your workflow. It runs in editors like Cursor and Windsurf and is showing up in Copilot, too. Ask for a function, tests, or a refactor and get diffs you can ship. You can try it free right now inside the tools you already use. Ghost is a fast, Figma-style slide editor. Type what you need and it gives you a first pass that stays fully editable. Drag stuff around, swap layouts, tweak styles, and collaborate in real time. Export to Keynote, PowerPoint, or the web when you’re done.

| | WHAT’S HOT | AI is generating the big bucks | | Nvidia just hit a record in the second quarter, hitting $41.1 billion in sales. That’s 56% more than the same quarter last year. It remains the only public company with a market cap above $4 trillion. | Nvidia’s business is making and selling chips to companies, who need a lot of them for AI services. With major tech companies rolling out new AI models every other day, Nvidia is rolling in dough. | But get this: While Nvidia’s main competitors are other semiconductor firms like AMD and Intel, it’s also beginning to compete against its own customers. | OpenAI? Uses Nvidia’s GPUs and AMD’s chips. But it’s also building its own. | Google? It originally kept its homemade AI chips for internal use, but has started selling them to Apple, Safe Superintelligence, and Anthropic. The latter is lined up to deploy Amazon’s processors, whenever those come out. | And since Nvidia can’t ship AI chips to China, erstwhile Chinese consumers like Alibaba are also making their own. | All of that could cut into demand for Nvidia chips, with increased supply ultimately making AI compute services cheaper for developers like you, dear reader. | Maybe. | Remember, Nvidia does one thing, all day, every day: make chips. | |

| | TRENDING DISCUSSIONS | How Wispr Pivoted to PMF | | My childhood dream was to build a real-life JARVIS, Tony Stark’s AI assistant. And in 2021, it looked like I’d have my shot. | It was in between the launches of GPT3 and ChatGPT. We were starting to see things happening with large language models, and I believed that in the next few years, we'd all be talking to our devices. But if everybody was talking to devices, there’d be no privacy and we’d be disturbing other people. | I thought: If we could build a device that lets you communicate with everything around you silently, that would be a game-changer... | |
