## Resource

In this episode, we cover OpenAI's surprisingly fast price cut on its GPT-5.6 models, driven by serving efficiency gains rather than a weaker model, and why cheaper inference reshapes what developers can build at scale. We also break down Google's Made by Google event and the Pixel 11 generation built around Gemini, Meta's return to open weights with Muse Glimmer and Muse Spark 1.2, and a federal judge growing skeptical of the Pentagon's move to blacklist Anthropic. From frontier lab pricing pressure to open source debates and AI procurement policy, we explore how OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic are shaping the next phase of AI competition. 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 OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
