The token leaderboard is finally dead. I’ve made a bold claim that companies incentivizing AI usage do not have a real AI strategy. It seems that was accurate. 404 Media has obtained leaked Slack chats, screenshots of internal dashboards,…
EDITOR'S NOTE: AI news moves incredibly fast. This video was researched, written, and recorded prior to several recent developments in the AI governance and model landscape. While some details may have evolved since recording, we believe t…
Anthropic is a hypocrite. Anthropic is claiming that Alibaba’s Qwen AI lab used almost 25,000 Claude accounts to help improve the performance of the Qwen models. This type of technique is called distillation. The premise is that you have…
If you're trying to figure out whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another AI model is the "best," you're already asking the wrong question, my friend. The smartest companies aren't betting everything on one AI platform. Consider Google ……
Stop viewing AI as a subscription. AI can be used to build actual business assets. To do this, you need to shift how you think about AI. Instead of looking at AI as a cheap replacement for employees, or a jack of all trades master of none…
Stop listening to Anthropic. From “loops” to “goals” to now “tagging”, it feels like about once a month Anthropic will add some new feature to the Claude tech stack, and claim it’s the future. What should be more apparent to everyone is t…
More Anthropic hype slop. Claude Tag is token hungry, a governance nightmare, and only a slight incremental improvement to similar technologies.
Game on! OpenAI has their response to Claude Mythos. ChatGPT 5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna announced. Access will initially be provided to a group of trusted partners and organizations. What do you think of this new pattern of slow roll-out…
AI was not built to learn. I hear a lot of buzz about AI agents getting “smarter” over time. I certainly understand the appeal. You want the agents to learn from your conversations, and have a sense of “memory”. AI memory management is a…
Anthropic wants your government IDs! (sort of, there is a lot of misinformation going around) I saw this pop up a lot over the last few days. In Anthropic's privacy page, they reserve the right to request identity verification, depending o…
Ever feel like your favorite AI model isn't as good as it used to be? You're not imagining it. There's actually a term for this: LLM drift. AI models can change over time -- even when you're using the exact same version. That might not mat…
Could the government restrict access to a leading AI model? And if that happened, what would it mean for your business? This week brought major developments involving Claude Fable, Anthropic, AI safety policies, model access, and growing c…
"You need clean data before you can use AI" is a myth. In many of my prospect and client calls, I keep hearing this misconception that you need to have all of your data completely cleaned, deduped, tagged and organized before your organiz…
The next big AI advancement will come from hardware. (Yes I am aware of Fable, and no I do not think it is a big AI advancement. An improvement, but this is not linear improvement. Twice the cost of Opus, not twice the performance). And we…
I recently had one of my clients say they needed a full time Oleg Nikolaev just to do AI research. I completely agree, everyone needs an Oleg, but I wanted to dive a little deeper on that. The AI landscape is changing very rapidly for a h…
Uber reportedly burned through its AI budget in just four months, and its leadership may have revealed a bigger problem facing companies everywhere. The issue isn't AI. The issue is how companies are implementing AI. In this video, I break…
99% of companies shouldn't use Claude Fable. Twice the price of Opus, but not twice the performance. Companies are already struggling to get a ROI with cheaper models.
Companies throw every good practice out the window the second AI enters the room. There is a hard lesson every business eventually learns: start with the problem, then find the right tool for the job. If you have ever been part of an organ…
The IPO reckoning is here. And you will soon be footing the bill. xAI, Anthropic, and now OpenAI have all filed the paperwork to go public. Anthropic's latest raise put its valuation at $965 billion, just topping OpenAI's $852 billion. Non…
150 million downloads. 200,000 public servers. 10+ CVEs. Ox Security's "Mother of All AI Supply Chains" report sounds apocalyptic. The implied takeaway is that Anthropic published a broken standard. The actual danger is narrower, more spe…
