Summary
In this episode, we discuss Anthropic's launch of Claude Opus 4.8 with new Dynamic Workflows in Claude Code, enabling hundreds of parallel subagents for long-running agentic tasks. We break down Anthropic's massive $65 billion Series H funding round at a near-trillion dollar valuation, the enormous compute deals with Amazon, Google, Broadcom, and SpaceX, and what it signals about the next phase of the AI race. We also cover Mistral's AI Now Summit in Paris, the rebrand of Le Chat into the new Vibe agent, the Mistral for Industrial Engineering push with Airbus, BMW, and ASML, and the company's bid to become Europe's sovereign, full-stack AI alternative to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, Mistral, OpenAI, Google, Amazon, Broadcom, SpaceX, Airbus, BMW, ASML, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
