Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

A U.S. vs China AI cold war is starting, and most business leaders have no idea they're already in it.

China's open models just closed the gap with America's best, oftentimes at a fraction of the price.

Now both governments are moving to wall off their AI within days of each other.

Why? Because this was never about benchmarks. It's about power y'all. 

We break it all down on today's show and help you figure out the 101 of the AI war between U.S. and China.

There’s (another) new open source king of AI. 👑

Kimi’s K3 might shake the open source landscape, but we’ll tell you why it’ll probably have less of an impact than you might think. 

That probably wasn’t the biggest news of the week in AI world, though, as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reportedly torched Anthropic. 

(Which might seem normal from AI company to AI company, but not when Microsoft has a $5 billion stake in Anthropic.) 

If you took your foot off the AI gas this week, we’ll get you caught up quickly with our AI News That Matters.

You've probably never heard of Inkling. 

It's the newest (and first) model from Thinking Machines Labs, and it could very well be a small snowball that picks up major momentum in today's enterprise AI landscape. 

If you haven’t heard of Thinking Machines, they’re led by Mira Murati, the former CTO at OpenAI. 

The big bet with Inkling? 

The future of AI could be using smaller models fine-tuned and optimized for smaller tasks. 

Will it work? 

Tune in live as we dive in.

OpenAI's new ChatGPT Work is on fire. 🔥

The company said they've added 2 million users in the past two days alone. 

Wanna know a secret about it though? 

(It's kinda not new at all. It's just Codex in Chat clothing.) 

Regardless, millions of new users are realizing for the first time what it means to have an agent that can work for them 24/7. And even if you're not a technical builder, it's pretty easy to set up a swarm of agents to help with any kind of work. 

We show you how.
