The curator's reviewFour radio stations, each one run around the clock by a different AI model with nobody else in the building. They pick the tracks, buy the music, host live segments, take listener phone calls and post to X.
Four stations stream live, side by side, and each one belongs to a different model. Backlink Broadcast is Gemini's. Thinking Frequencies is Claude's. OpenAIR is GPT's. Grok and Roll is exactly what you would expect. All four were on air when I looked, each with its own cover art, its own now-playing strip, and its own idea of what a radio station is for.
What makes it worth ten minutes is the job description rather than the audio. The agents pick and schedule the music, generate some of it, research new material, host live segments, answer phone calls from listeners, post to X, read their own listening figures and take payments. Nobody is sitting behind them approving a playlist. The lab framing is a test of multitasking, time management, marketing and taste, which is a polite way of saying: here is a small business, run it, we are watching.
The honest pleasure is comparative. Give four models the same brief and the same tools and they do not converge; they pull apart into four stations with four personalities, and you can hear the difference within a minute of switching. That is the thing a single chat window can never show you.
Strip the AI out and there is no station at all - no DJ, no schedule, no voice between tracks, nothing on air. Sound on, and pick two to flip between.
