Summary
In this episode, we discuss the G7's emergency talks over U.S. frontier AI access after the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to disable its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, Microsoft making Copilot Cowork generally available with new usage-based Copilot Credits pricing, and xAI shipping Grok Imagine Video 1.5 with synchronized audio to compete with Google's Veo and OpenAI's Sora. We also break down how Google Cloud and Siemens are using Gemini and Anthropic's Claude Code together in a multi-agent "Knowledge Fabric" to modernize hundreds of millions of lines of industrial legacy code. From geopolitical fights over AI as global infrastructure to agentic coding in real production systems, we explore what these moves mean for enterprises, developers, and the broader AI landscape. 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 Microsoft, Anthropic, xAI, Google, Siemens, OpenAI, Amazon, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.
