In today's episode of Basically AI, we break down the biggest developments in artificial intelligence from the past few days.

We cover Nvidia's massive AI conference and upcoming chip announcements, Meta delaying its newest AI model after disappointing internal tests, and a surprising legal battle between AI company Anthropic and the U.S. government.

Host Dusty Porter covers three AI stories: OpenAI signing a Pentagon deal just hours after President Trump ordered agencies to cut ties with Anthropic over its refusal to support mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, while noting reports that the Pentagon still used Claude in Middle East strikes; Sam Altman says the deal was rushed, the optics look bad, and calls the Anthropic ban a poor decision, as consumer backlash pushes Claude to #1 on Apple's App Store and "cancel ChatGPT" trends. He also discusses OpenAI raising $110B at a $730B valuation led by Amazon, with Nvidia and SoftBank participating. Finally, he highlights Generate:Biomedicines' $425M Nasdaq IPO and its AI-designed severe-asthma antibody GB0895 entering phase three trials, arguing AI could accelerate medical breakthroughs.

Today in AI: Anthropic updates its safety posture amid rising pressure, OpenAI doubles down on London as a major research hub, Nvidia declares an "agentic AI" inflection point after record earnings, and DeepSeek's model rollout strategy highlights the growing chip geopolitics shaping the AI race.
