There is blood in the water, and the sharks have smelled it. The AI price war has begun. I'm going to be honest, with the dominance OpenAI and Anthropic have shown in the frontier AI model space (and Google hanging in there), I thought th…
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…
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…
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…
"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…
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…
Stacking AI SaaS tools is the new CRM sprawl, and you already know how that movie ends. Every quarter a new AI wrapper hits your inbox promising 10x productivity for sales, 10x for support, 10x for HR, 10x for legal. Each one is a thin la…
GitHub just announced that all GitHub Copilot plans will transition to usage-based billing on June 1, 2026. The era of subsidized AI usage is ending.
You're asking AI for a competitive edge. So is your competitor. You're both getting the exact same answer. Researchers at Esade, NYU Stern, and the University of Sydney just tested this. They ran 15,000+ simulations across 7 major AI mode…
