Elon Musk just bid $60 Billion for a code editor, while OpenAI launched AI agents that live inside your company’s workflow. Is the "General AI" era being replaced by vertical power plays?
In Episode 75, we break down the most expensive week in AI history. From Anthropic’s $100 Billion compute bet to the launch of GPT Rosaline—OpenAI's first branded model for drug discovery—the industry is moving from "chatbots" to autonomous, specialized infrastructure.
Inside this episode:
The $60B Cursor Bet: Why xAI wants a code editor to reach AGI through "self-improving" loops.
Workspace Agents: OpenAI’s new "AI Teammates" that run persistently in the cloud so you don’t have to.
GPT Rosaline: Why vertical models are the new frontier for life sciences and drug discovery.
The Jagged Benchmarks: Three frontier models dropped this week (GPT 5.5, Opus 4.7, Kimi 2.6) and why most users can't tell the difference.
Robot Laundry: A robotics company taught a model to fold laundry on a robot it had never seen before.
AI is no longer just answering questions.
It is being embedded into systems that write code, run workflows, discover drugs, and operate machines.
If you build, buy, or rely on AI, this is where the real competition is moving.
