## Resource

Consumer AI is the fastest-growing tech category in history, but the AI industry’s money, attention, and compute are moving hard toward enterprise and coding agents. NLW explores why consumer AI suddenly feels secondary, why token consumption may matter more than paid seats, and why ads, agentic commerce, and AI devices may be the only paths that make consumer AI economically impossible to ignore. In the headlines: Coinbase layoffs and the AI alibi, Anthropic’s massive Google Cloud deal, Palantir earnings, Larry Fink on compute as a commodity, and Cerebras IPO demand.
