Show Notes
OpenAI is closing in on a funding round that would push its valuation toward $850 billion — and a potential IPO may be closer than anyone expected. Meanwhile, India just became the hottest AI destination on the planet after a summit that drew executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, and more, with hundreds of billions in commitments flooding in. Google's newest Gemini model is shattering benchmarks with a massive context window built for agentic AI — but the company is also under fire after the UK's top mental health charity launched a full inquiry into potentially dangerous AI-generated search results seen by two billion people monthly. On the infrastructure front, Nvidia just overhauled its distributed inference framework to make deploying large-scale AI dramatically easier. And in a story that's equal parts alarming and absurd, a hacker used prompt injection to hijack an AI coding agent — and security researchers are warning the next version of this attack won't be so harmless.
