## Resource

AI is reshaping how software gets built, how infrastructure gets deployed, and how platforms compete for relevance. On Episode 296, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down GTC expectations, Microsoft's Anthropic-powered Copilot shift, Adobe's leadership transition, Apple's AI strategy, and the infrastructure debates shaping the next phase of enterprise AI. The handpicked topics for this week are: GTC and the Shift to Heterogeneous Compute: NVIDIA heads into GTC with growing pressure to articulate a broader heterogeneous compute strategy. Pat & Dan discuss CPUs, GPUs, inference accelerators, and how future AI workloads will increasingly span training, pre-fill, decode, and agentic workflows. Why the CPU Is Back in the AI Conversation: As agentic AI expands, CPU demand is moving back into focus. The hosts discuss why CPU-to-GPU ratios are tightening, why this matters for infrastructure planning, and how AI compute is becoming more diversified. Microsoft's Anthropic-Powered Copilot Shift: Microsoft is leaning harder into model optionality by integrating Anthropic into Copilot workflows. The bigger takeaway is not model preference alone, but Microsoft's distribution advantage, governance layer, and ability to bundle AI functionality directly into the enterprise productivity stack. The Semantic Layer and the Future of Enterprise Software: Rather than replacing core enterprise systems overnight, AI is increasingly being layered on top of existing platforms. The discussion highlights how enterprise software may evolve through AI wrappers, orchestration, and semantic interfaces rather than a complete replacement. Adobe's CEO Transition and the AI Narrative Gap: Adobe posted strong numbers, but investor skepticism remains. The conversation centers on whether Adobe failed…
