When AI Business Models Collide

When AI Business Models Collide

Thursday’s show focused on the growing strategic divide between OpenAI and Anthropic, sparked by Sam Altman’s recent Cisco interview and Anthropic’s Super Bowl ad campaign. The discussion explored how scale, ads, enterprise subscriptions, and compute economics are forcing very different business models, and why those choices matter for trust, access, and long term AI development. The back half of the show covered Codex adoption, Gemini’s rapid growth, data portability between AI platforms, agent-driven labor disruption, and new research tooling like Paper Banana.
