No doubt I’ve missed this somewhere but what do the numbers after the workout type represent (ie. Threshold or VO2 max 9.8) & are those individualized?
You’re heading down a tangent from the original comments which was about an IPO. Not all stockholders are the same and a closely held private company is very different to a public one.

The vo2max 9.8 is the classification of the workout difficulty, if I understand correctly, so that isn’t individualized. So out of 10, TR must have thought that workout was damn near the hardest type of vo2 workout one can do?

Cool, thanks for the info!
So mostly just doing achievable, slacker 
Now we can see how lazy people are

Does Adaptive Training also make changes to the overall training plan? There was some discussion about what happens during time off (travel/illness) in terms of adjusting your levels, but I’m wondering if it also re-shuffles what type of workouts you do (e.g., go back to base rather than picking up in the latter part of build, where you left off).
Very very cool stuff, and driven by what will help users.
True. But, for example, zwift have very aggressive investors. So they do stuff based on what investors wanted. And for a period of time they were going nowhere. So, IPO, or private investors, it’s similar…
Tesla is public and elon musk doesn’t give a shit about investor feeling.
So not about the investors , but the ceo. And I think @Nate_Pearson is a very generous ceo and he seems to care about their users and their employees. So thanks nate for caring about your product

EDIT: this pricing “split” I had in mind is under review. Not sure what we will do yet. I see pros/cons to having it hear as well as separated.
Splitting it will be a royal pain, and is not clean cut since there is overlapping discussion on AT mixed with pricing. “Easy” is to leave everything as-is, so that may be the solution, and it makes sense in ways as well. LOL, me being indecisive as usual. 
I am going to pull the “pricing” stuff into a separate thread (as I alluded to in the part you didn’t quote).
But it takes time to sift and pull those out, and mixing that with my “real job” is a challenge, but it will happen.

It seems so. Amber’s analogy of how the weather forecast changes seems to explain how the workouts change over time.
I think this is what they have right now. Probably the rest will be done in a near feature… But is hard to understand what was the intention of the ride. Not all .71IF rides are the same… 
Anyone on the list been given access yet???
Hey TR,
Awesome feature! A few things I’d like to point out that I think you missed however.
-
As an older rider I always wondered why this feature wasn’t already present. It just made sense to have on day one. What took so long? I mean it’s just code! Sheesh.
-
Also, as an older rider I don’t like change. Disc brakes? No! Carbon frames? No! Lycra that isn’t completely worn and doesn’t smell like brut 33? Nope! Now that the feature is here what do I complain about now? I’ve settled into my Base Build Speciality and I am not changing.
-
Last but not the least of my complaints what’s my excuse when I don’t hit a workout? It seems you thought of everything and for that I’m truly hurt.
Guess I’ll take my old arse over to Zuffer Fest or whatever they call it.
In all seriousness, well done TR team. Can’t wait to try the new cycling AI.

Is @mcneese.chad the only person posting here who is confirmed to actually HAVE the early access so far?
Would be eager to have others post if they get invite codes.

It sounds like that’s what the workout classifier addresses directly, if I understand Nate’s comments correctly in the podcast. It recognizes that IF and TSS aren’t the end-all-be-all of workout difficulty and classifies them even further. I assume this is based on user completion rates and a bunch of other “features” of which Nate said the ML evaluates more than 100 (all of which are proprietary).
I won’t name names, but there are several more that I know for sure are already added into the beta as of yesterday.

I’m still waiting to be added.
Fear not! Now you can simply say “I was feeding the algorithm with a failed workout … for science!”

It would be very cool for you to share your experiences. I’m extremely curious how “visible” this feature really is for most riders.
From what I’ve heard on the podcast and such, my suspicion is that it will probably be pretty invisible if you run plan builder and then hit your workouts at 100% without failing out/dropping difficulty/skipping or ramping up difficulty (assuming erg mode … if you’re not on erg mode and can blow past watt suggestions, that’s different).
However, I’d be very curious as you continue to use it, whether you find that it is actually “visible” pretty regularly.

Are they adding people on a daily or weekly basis?
If you get your Sweet Spot Progression Level above 10, you’ll start seeing these beauties. (These are Not Recommended for me because my Sweet Spot Progression Level is 6 right now)
