QUESTION · TUESDAY FOCUS

Is there value in having different LLMs review each other's work to solve stubborn problems?

ASKED BY · Unknown · 13 OCT 2026 · ▶ 00:53:20

THE PANEL'S ANSWER

Yes, when stuck on a project, opening a different LLM like Codex and asking it to review GitHub code and find solutions from other projects can provide breakthrough insights that the first model couldn't deliver.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

53:19LLM or AI look at the other one. So I got stuck on this project, this MXL project, and it was it was just turning into this behemoth and it was done in cloud. And I had just been hammering and hammering and it just could not figure out this part. And so I, I, uh, opened up Codex and I was like, Hey, can you look at this GitHub and look at this project?

53:39And here's where we're stuck and here's where I want to be. And then I asked it to look at, uh, other Git hubs and say, is there any other switchers or any other elements that I can take, uh, from here and look at those structures and, and get an end to end solution. solution. And after a little while, it said, I think you should do this and this and this.

53:57And I was like, all right, let's give it a whirl. And next thing you know, I'm more on the codec side today than I have been in Clod just because I walked over to another one and said, hey, take a look at this. And so it's like having two frontier models battle it out. And Clod seemed kind of hurt when I said, hey, can you make a handoff file for the other guy? And then it was

54:19It was respectful, and it was kind of weird to see them be respectful and talk to each other. It's another thing when you start getting your AIs to talk to each other, and you're looking at their conversations and going, wow. I'm worried if it goes full agentic that they'll be at midnight having conversations without me. Trying to tell themselves how to get one up on me.

54:42Should I come back to John or go to Jackson? Jackson, show us a little bit of that, of audiometrics. Is that what it was? I've lost that note here. Audiomatics. Yeah, this is an audiomatics router. So you can like, it acts like a virtual routing thing that runs in your system. You can bring in your audio interfaces. You can bring in your normal microphones, camera audio, and things like that.

55:12You can route virtual audio cable within your system. system uh you can have like a network audio thing so what i have here here is like uh uh this is uh this audio is coming from uh coming from uh obs which is my microphone feed that is fed into my uh fed into my audio interface that i uh having a monitor on and uh this is this is another uh

55:41another feed that is coming from OBS that is going into another virtual cable that is fed into another software. So when it comes to virtual production and stuff, this helps more on the way. So it created something that looks a little bit like Audio Hijack or Loopback to me. So that's one of those tools that I use a lot. So it would be very, very useful.

56:09Yeah, that may be Mac OS, but I'm using a Windows machine here and this is actually running in Windows. In Windows, I used to use something called VBmatrix. This is called VBmatrix, but it has like a old GUI. It is usable, but it has some limitations that I'm trying to fix, just like that I did for OBS. So this is my version of VB Metrics that I'm building it my way. Nice, nice, very nice.

56:45We've got a couple more questions and we're getting close to the top of the hour here. So let's dive into our next question, Cindy. Here we have Roscoe Jones in Madison, Indiana, asking, trade shows were often meetings of the same people every year who are often recognized as experts in their field. What happens when everyone can claim to be an expert by way of their AI

The whole episode →
▶ 00:01:38Please explain vibe coding to a beginner. What is needed and the cost?▶ 00:03:26Where does GitHub fit into this process if I want to put up a website or whatever I'm going to do with vibe coding?▶ 00:26:41Where can I get the tools for prompting? As that seems to be one of the main keys to get decent results. Are there formal tools that can help people become better prompt constructors?▶ 00:28:50What are the different levels or parts of tools available for vibe coding and agentic AI?▶ 00:32:51I find that generated code often provides a solution, but a review of that code finds issues, and it can require a lot of iterating to resolve all the complaints. Any tips for prompting or rules, as in Claude code, to help reduce the iterations?▶ 00:40:57I want to understand about tokens. When do you need them and how do you use them?▶ 00:48:35When vibe coding gets you 90 percent of the way there but the last 10 percent keeps breaking, how do you diagnose the real problem instead of endlessly prompting?▶ 00:57:05Trade shows were often meetings of the same people every year who are often recognized as experts in their field. What happens when everyone can claim to be an expert by way of their AI skills? Will there be loyal clients in the age of vibe coding?▶ 00:59:20Will local models, for example run on new powerhouse Mac minis, eliminate external token usage?▶ 01:02:13What current frustrations with AI are you hoping are resolved soon?
