Wait.... did OpenAI and Anthropic take a week off? 🤔

After a relatively quiet week of updates from AI's normal heavyweights in Anthropic and OpenAI, their competitors (and backers) picked up the slack.

↳ Meta is making AI chips but cutting jobs.
↳ NVIDIA is investing billions in Open Source AI.
↳ Perplexity is trying to bring back the Personal Computer.
↳ Google is dropping AI in your docs and your car

And a whole lot more.

Don't waste hours each week trying to make sense of the AI developments. That's our job.
