AI adoption stalls for lack of trained workers, not technology. While businesses wait for a manual that never arrives, China teaches AI skills from elementary school onward. The real gap isn't algorithms—it's who learns to work alongside them.
OpenAI's company knowledge mode connects workplace apps to ChatGPT—but the real test is whether enterprises will expose their entire institutional memory to AI. The feature points toward governed knowledge bases, yet arrives with manual toggles and gaps Microsoft solved months ago.
Good Morning from San Francisco, Anthropic just secured a million AI chips from Google in a deal worth tens of
Explore the latest upgrade to Amazon's AI Brain, introducing a new 'Reasoning' model set to revolutionize artificial intelligence.
Amazon is cooking up something new in its AI kitchen. By June, it plans to serve a fresh model under its Nova brand – one that can both sprint and marathon through problems.
This isn't just another chatbot. The new AI aims to mix quick responses with deeper thinking, using "hybrid reasoning" to tackle complex problems. It's like having both a fast-food drive-through and a gourmet chef in the same kitchen.
Amazon's playing it smart with the price tag. They're aiming to undercut competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, while still landing in the top 5 for performance on key benchmarks. Their existing Nova models already run 75% cheaper than rivals on their Bedrock platform.
The timing is interesting, coming right after Anthropic's launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet. It's a bit awkward, considering Amazon has already poured $8 billion into Anthropic. It's like funding your friend's restaurant while secretly perfecting your own recipe.
The project comes from Amazon's AGI team, led by Rohit Prasad. While Amazon preaches model diversity through its Bedrock platform, this move shows they're not content just being the marketplace – they want to be a star vendor too.
Why this matters:
OpenAI's company knowledge mode connects workplace apps to ChatGPT—but the real test is whether enterprises will expose their entire institutional memory to AI. The feature points toward governed knowledge bases, yet arrives with manual toggles and gaps Microsoft solved months ago.
Anthropic secured Google's largest chip deal—up to 1M TPUs worth tens of billions—while keeping Amazon as primary partner. The rare multi-cloud strategy gives the startup leverage both clouds typically demand for themselves. Can neutrality scale?
OpenAI bought the team behind Sky, a Mac assistant that actually controls your apps. It's a move from answering questions to doing work—and puts pressure on Apple's automation story. Integration timing and privacy details will decide if it sticks.
GM is removing Apple CarPlay from all future vehicles despite data showing 80% of buyers demand it. The automaker bets billions in subscription revenue will outweigh customer backlash—a wager that could reshape how Detroit values market fit against margin expansion.
