Summary
OpenAI and Anthropic are officially moving out of the browser and into the office. We’re breaking down OpenAI’s new $10 billion "Deployment Company" and Anthropic’s aggressive plan to embed engineers directly into midsize firms. We also dive into the terrifyingly cool AI wearable that controls your hands via electrical signals, and the engineering "flex" that allowed OpenAI to scale real-time voice to 900 million users. In this episode, we cover: Why OpenAI and Anthropic are forming joint ventures with PE giants like SoftBank and Blackstone to force-integrate AI into legacy operations. How OpenAI ditched traditional web setups for a custom WebRTC stack to handle millions of concurrent, "audio-native" conversations. Elon Musk’s xAI drops its voice cloning API, offering custom voices for $3/hr. Why developers are buying out Apple’s local hardware to run private AI agents, driving prices up for everyone else. How Bret Taylor’s Sierra reached a massive valuation by capturing 40% of the Fortune 50 with enterprise AI agents.
