Ep 724: Trump bans Anthropic, OpenAI signs Pentagon deal, big AI goes agentic and more AI news

While Anthropic and the Pentagon fought, OpenAI swooped in to secure a big deal. 

But at what cost? 

And while it seemed like the entire AI news world was wrapped up in the Anthropic-Trump-OpenAI drama, the rest of big tech went nuts. 

Microsoft teased something agentic, Claude actually shipped it, and Perplexity dropped probably its most important product to date. 

This week’s theme apparently: drama and agents. 

We’ll get you caught up on all of the AI News That Matters. 👇
