## Resource

Meta is rolling out paid subscriptions across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, while Google’s AI-first search experience is forcing brands to rethink visibility online. We also look at what a GPT-4 technical review still tells us about how frontier AI moved from research demo to real-world platform. In this episode: - Meta launches global subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and says more Meta One offerings are coming, including AI plans. - Google’s AI-generated answers are now front and center in search, changing how brands get discovered. - A review of the GPT-4 technical report highlights the shift from raw model scaling to reliability, safety, multimodal inputs, and deployment. - Simon Willison argues Anthropic and OpenAI may have found product-market fit as enterprise AI bills rise. - ElevenLabs releases Music v2, aimed at smoother genre shifts inside a single song. - MarsLab outlines a Singapore-based AI inference infrastructure roadmap for enterprise and edge deployment. - Ruanyun Edai introduces YeeZo, a platform aimed at lower-cost AI content production for creators, education, and short drama workflows.
