Starting point is 00:00:54 chat GPT would cut into their profits. Anthropic may have beat Microsoft at its own game as they finally released their highly anticipated Claude Excel extension to all paid users. And after sitting out the first three years of the generative AI race, Apple is reportedly ramping up to actually compete in 2026, but with Google's help, and we have some more details on that. All right. If you miss anything in the AI news world this week, I get it. It's hard to keep up.
Starting point is 00:01:27 You can spend hours literally every single day, just trying to extract the important information that's going to help you grow your company and career. Or you could just tune in on Mondays as we do that exact thing for you. So welcome to Everyday AI. My name is Jordan Wilson and this thing's for you. Everyday AI is a daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter, helping business leaders like you and me keep up with all of the nonstop AI announcements, advancements and updates, make sense of them all to grow our companies and careers. So like I said, most Mondays we do our AI News That Matters kind of series.
Starting point is 00:02:06 We've been doing it for a couple of years now. So maybe if you just need to know the new. updates every week. Monday is your day, but we do this Monday through Friday. So as another FYI housekeeping, our inner circle is live. We are slowly rolling out access. So yeah, keep an eye on your email inbox as we continue to roll out access for our free community and our updated prime prompt polish prompt engineering course. All right, enough chit chat. Let's get into the AI news that matters for the week of January 2026. And First, it's a big one. Open AI is not taking your money, even though a lot of people got a little
Starting point is 00:02:52 confused, read some headlines, and started to believe this. So OpenAI is reportedly focusing on an updated revenue model, which led to some confusion and many people just kind of blowing it out of proportion. So here's what happened. Open AI's chief financial officer Sarah Fryer said in a recent interview that OpenAI is considering licensing agreements that let it share downstream revenue from customer successes rather than relying solely on subscription and API fees. So the centerpiece of the idea is that if a partner uses Open AI's technology to develop a product, for example, a new drug, Open AI could receive royalties on sales or take an equity stake in the discovery itself. So the strategy is motivated reportedly by scale. Open AI
Starting point is 00:03:40 demand for compute is reportedly the limited factor, not customer interests. And compute costs were reportedly more than $7 billion last year, which created pressure on the company to find higher return revenue streams. So the company already, though, most people don't know this, but the company already has similar ties that have served as pilots for value sharing. They have a 2024 partnership with Sanify and Formation Buy. to accelerate drug R&D and investments banking chai discovery. So competitors also are pursuing similar models. So yeah, a lot of people are like, wait, what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:04:22 This is not new. So as an example, Google's isomorphic labs, they've sealed multi-billion dollar deals with drug makers in a similar value sharing capacity in years past. So what the heck happened here? Well, it's these value-sharing deals that kind of caught the headlines and people were like, wait. So if my company uses, you know, chat GPT business or chat GPT enterprise and, you know, I don't know, we develop some IP or, you know, we double our revenue. Does that mean Open AI is getting a piece of that?
Starting point is 00:04:55 Absolutely not. So this is just a specific value-sharing deals that are aimed at larger enterprise partners in high-value fields such as pharmaceutical research and financial modeling. So under these deals, companies receive discounted or specialty tailored access to certain AI models. And then in exchange, Open AI receives a percentage of the revenue generated from breakthroughs achieved using the models, such as a newly discovered drug. So the drug example is an easy one to look at, right? You can only imagine the amount of compute that might go into discovering a new drug, right? It may take billions of dollars of compute or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I'm not sure. Those numbers never really come out. So you might understand how a certain drug company might not have millions or hundreds of millions of dollars just to go after a new drug. But the huge upside if, you know, technology such as open AIs could help discover that. Also, we've heard reporting in the past that Open AI has admitted that they have more powerful models. essentially available at all times, but they don't necessarily have the compute to serve it to 900 million weekly active users. So I can also see this happening in those cases where there are high value sectors such as pharma, medical finance, etc. that might get access to these models
Starting point is 00:06:24 before the rest of us because Open AI may not be able to, well, serve it up to hundreds of millions of users. So interesting move here from open AI, but like I said, they're not coming for your money. So yeah, if you have, you know, an enterprise, you know, license with your company with ChadGVT, it's not like they're taking anything from you. People just kind of blew this one out of proportion. Our next piece of AI news, Anthropic might have beat Microsoft to the punch and bringing AI to its own product. So Claude for Excel is now broadly available to pro subscribers, those paid subscribers on Anthropics, $20 a month plan, and the update adds file, drag and drop, prevention of overriding cells, and automatic session compression to support
Starting point is 00:07:18 longer work sessions. So Anthropic has rolled out the Claude Excel add-in to all pro-Claude subscribers this past week. Moving beyond the very limited. beta select user testing that they had going on before. So the most tangible productivity gain is support for multiple file drag and drop directly into the Excel add-in, which simplifies bringing multiple data sets and supporting documents into a single Excel session. So yeah, it's kind of like the work that a lot of financial analysts do right now. So Claude now avoids overriding existing cells when it edits spreadsheets,
Starting point is 00:07:58 reducing accidental data loss in model-driven edits and making collaboration with humans safer, according to Anthropic, at least. So the integration and automatic compression of sessions context to enable longer work sessions without exhausting token limits. So users familiar with Claude Code have already observed that compression. I believe they call it auto-compaction, and that can change prompt context. So professionals should therefore always verify outputs and maintain careful context. So the add-in is available from the Microsoft marketplace,
Starting point is 00:08:36 letting logged-in Clod users run Claude Inside Excel for analysis, data preparation, and commenting on spreadsheets without switching applications. So yeah, this one, it's really good. So we've seen that Microsoft has actually started to use some of Anthropics, Anthropics models in some of their different offerings in Excel, but they're actually using a mixture of different models. Not an actual mixture of models architecture. They're just using multiple different models throughout their office suite. So, and we also don't know what models they're using.
Starting point is 00:09:13 So the last one that we saw confirmed, I believe, inside of Microsoft Office products were, I believe, Sonnet 4.5. So this, the ability to use Opus 4.5 and to use it in Excel is actually really big. And this is one area where, you know, the newest models, so Gemini 3 Pro, Opus 4.5 from Anthropic and also OpenAIs, GBT 5.2 Pro. I mean, these models, when it comes to math, frontier math, better than almost any human, right? unless you are a world-renowned mathematician who also happens to love Excel, this is going to be better, right? So this is actually pretty huge news. So if you are in Excel nerd and dipping your toe in AI or vice versa, right?
Starting point is 00:10:08 If you love AI and dipping your toe into Excel, this is one integration that you're definitely going to want to check out. All right. Our next piece of AI news, Amazon, bringing more AI into. its new health offerings. So Amazon this week unveiled Health AI for One Medical, the primary care service that had bought in 2023, saying that the tool now is able to offer personalized 24-7 health guidance based on members' medical records. So according to Amazon, Health AI can explain lab results, help manage medications, book appointments, and analyze images. Though the company did not clarify whether that includes medical imaging or only user photos.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Amazon says the assistant compliments but does not replace clinicians and that it recognizes when symptoms, situations, or specific queries require or benefit from human clinical judgment. But the company gave few specifics on limits to the system's medical advice. So, yeah, the company says that it still follows HIPAA and all of that important stuff and says it doesn't sell your members' protected health information. So if you don't know about one medical, well, it primarily offers telehealth services under an annual subscription with discounted rates if you already are an Amazon Prime subscriber. So the move expands Amazon's growing health footprint, which already includes same-day prescription delivery in some markets and vending machines for prescription drugs. Yeah, so the AI health space, I don't know why it's all happened in like the last three weeks.
Starting point is 00:11:47 but it's been a straight up health avalanche. So obviously Chad GPT and slash OpenAI came out with two big products. They came out with Chad GPT Health and then Open AI Healthcare. So essentially similar products, one for consumers to look at their health that you have to sign up for on the wait list. And then another product for medical associations, Anthropic with their clod brought some health connections as well. right, Google open source, one of their health models. So I don't know why. The last three weeks, things have been going absolutely bonkers when it comes to AI
Starting point is 00:12:25 and the medical field and then Amazon following suit here in a different way. Right. So we also saw a similar, kind of a similar, ask move right, from Google, adding an AI health coach to Fitbit. Last year, we've seen a lot of reports what Apple is working on, bringing some of their AI and health into phone and watch AirPods as well. So yeah, expect a lot more of this in 2026. Speaking of health, yes, I am still hoarse. I don't know why. I've been sick for like four out of the last six weeks. So fun times. Maybe I should be getting this one medical and using it
Starting point is 00:13:07 more often and being like, why am I sick again? All right. Our next piece, piece of AI news. You're not seeing double. We kind of talked about this last week, but this is actually very different. So Google is rolling out a new opt-in feature called personal intelligence, but they're bringing it to AI mode in search. So this allows personal intelligence to securely use data from your Gmail and Google Photos to deliver personalized recommendations and search responses. So personal intelligence connects Gmail and Google Photos to AI mode so search can use your personal context like trip confirmations and photos to generate tailored suggestions and answers. So right now, the rollout is limited to eligible Google AI
Starting point is 00:13:55 Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in English and in the US. And unfortunately, it's only right now available for personal Google accounts, not workspace business accounts. So connecting Gmail and photos is strictly opt in, right? So you don't have to worry about this. Like, oh my gosh, I have to go off out of this. It's only opt in. So users can choose if and when to connect those apps to search and can disconnect them at any time through search settings. Google says the system uses the Gemini 3 model and does not directly train on your Gmail inbox or your photos library. So example, use cases that Google share include personalized trip planning that reference hotel booking and travel photos, tailored shopping suggestions that factor in past purchases and flight dates
Starting point is 00:14:45 and playful creative prompts like asking what your life's movie title would be. Just notice the little article screenshot here. It's from Robbie Stein, who we're going to be having the BP of product at Google Search. We're going to be having him on the show sometime soon. So keep an eye in an ear off for that one. Robbie's great. All right. Before we get going, a quick water break for me and a word from our partners.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Fraudsters used to need fake documents or stolen credentials to scam a business. Now they just need a few clicks to get your CEO to say anything they want. Voice deepfakes rose more than 680% last year. In most fraud detection systems, only flag suspicious transactions after the money is already gone. They're not actually listening to the call where the scheme is happening. Modulate is. Modulates new Velma model analyzes live conversations for the signals that give fraudsters away, stress patterns that don't match the story they're telling, urgency that sounds performed instead of real, voices that are synthetic instead of human, all detected for your business
Starting point is 00:15:55 in real time, not in a report days later. Modulates Velma model was trained on 21 billion hours of real audio and is trusted by Fortune 500 companies. It outperforms voice model. It outperforms voice model, from leading AI labs, and it's a hundred times more cost effective. So go see, Velma, catch what your current tools miss at modulate.a. All right, if you listen to the show, you already know a little bit of our next news story, but some new details. So you know that chat GPT ads are coming out, but according to new reports, we know when and what they're going to look like. So according to reports, Open AI is. is already testing ads inside of chat.
Starting point is 00:16:40 GPD with select advertisers and plans to charge on a pay per impression basis rather than a pay per click. And here's the big news. A broader rollout could happen as soon as February. So we could be just weeks away from many free users and users on a new paid plan being served ads inside of chat. So the current tests are small and controlled. Advertisers.
Starting point is 00:17:08 are committing under a million dollars each and there is no self-serve buying tool yet, meaning only select partners can participate for now. For users seeing ads, the ads will appear at the bottom of chat GPT responses, clearly labeled and separated from organic answers, which signal a cautious rollout intended to protect user trust. So OpenAI announced ads alongside the global rollout of chat GPT go, a new, well, new is tier that's $8 a month and it is an ad supported tier and confirmed ads like I said will also show to use free users. So it's not just the what, 750 million free users that may be seeing
Starting point is 00:17:54 ads in a few weeks inside of chat chbt but also new users on that lower, cheaper, more affordable paid plan, the chat gpti go. But that does. mean that right now, none of the other paid tiers, including Chad GPT Plus, the standard $20 a month, the $200 a month, ChadGPT Pro, enterprise, business accounts, EDU, et cetera, won't be seeing ads at the time. So for advertisers, choosing a price per impression model, let's open AI guarantee revenue, even when users don't click. But it does limit traditional performance measurements that advertisers rely on for direct response campaigns. So yeah, going that route essentially make sure that Open AI is going to make their money
Starting point is 00:18:45 and it's a little different than normal, you know, price per click. So we'll see how this is received. I think personally, if I have to see ads, I've rather see ads in a chatbot than a search engine, right? Because when you think about a search engine, for the most part, you're using it. And even if you use it over and over, right, you're usually putting in these little shorter keywords, right? Which if you're getting ads, I mean, it's hit or miss. It's a shot in the dark.
Starting point is 00:19:18 If you're using the free version of ChadGivT, right? And if you're using it for a lot of different use cases for, you know, personal use cases, business, etc. The ads are actually, I think, over time, going to be really, really good. You know, only offering it up to a certain number of advertisers at first, that doesn't mean that I think the ads are going to be bad right away. I think that just means very few people are actually going to see them just because they are working with such a limited number of advertisers to kick this thing off. But again, you guys know if you listen to the show, I'm weird. I'm weird with ads and my personal information.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Even my PHI, I don't care. I sign up for the early access for Chan Chip-T Health. I'll be excited once I get it. I don't care. Take my health information. Google. take my personal browsing history, Open AI, right? I intentionally use OpenAI's Atlas browser for that reason, right?
Starting point is 00:20:13 I want to be served better ads, right, that are more relevant because in the end, you're going to get ads pretty much however you use the Internet. And if the future of the Internet is, you know, bringing your processes inside of a, right, what I say, the AIOS, the AI operating system, if you're on a free plan, you're going to see ads. So get used to it. I don't think there's any point in grumbling around. And if you do want to grumble around, you can use a different service.
Starting point is 00:20:42 That is probably not as sticky, at least right now, as Open AI, although Jev and I obviously is catching up and their models are absolutely fantastic. Right. But, I mean, we're talking about like 10th of the world's population is a free user of ChadGBT, which is a bonkers stat. Right?
Starting point is 00:21:01 So you're going to see ads. So you're either going to see ads or upgrade to a paid plan, that $20 a month plan. All right. Our next piece of AI news, two big names in the AI world are making a global push to put teachers at the center of AI in schools. So this week, two major AI players in Anthropic and Open AI announce efforts to work with educators and governments.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So AI tools, training, and research are embedded into classrooms worldwide. First, Anthropic and Teach for All partnered to bring Claude and AI training to 100,000 educators across 63 countries. So this new program treats teachers as co-creators rather than passive users, combining Anthropics product access with on-the-ground educator feedback to shape Claude's classroom features and responsible use. So the initiative runs three programs, an AI Fluency Learning series, the ongoing Claude Connect Community Hub and Claude Lab for advanced pilots with Claude Pro in monthly Anthropic Office Hours. So if you apply for the program and you're approved, you do get access to Claude Pro for free. On OpenAI side, they had a pretty big announcement
Starting point is 00:22:24 with their new Open AI for countries and their education for country program. So OpenAI doubled down on their focus on getting chat GPT into more classrooms as it officially unveiled its open AIs education for countries. So the new Education for Countries program will partner with governments and universities to embed AI tools, research and training in national education systems to personalize learning, reduce administrative burden, and prepare students for an AI-driven workforce. So this is more of a global effort, right? We've seen huge announcements between Open AI and major universities here in the U.S. So a little different.
Starting point is 00:23:03 This is more of a global push. So right now, the initiative offers access to JetGBTEDU, their new model, GBT52, study mode, and Canvas with customizable deployments and promises tailored training in OpenAI certifications aligned with national workforce priorities. So OpenAI highlights research and evaluation as core components of this new program. studying a planned large-scale longitudinal study with the University of Tartu and Stanford that will track AI's impact on learning outcomes for 20,000 students and pointing to studies estimating that nearly 40% of core worker skills could change by 2030.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Open AI hopes to access more than 30,000 students, educators, and researchers in the first year of the program. So I've talked about this a little bit, on the show before. But there's been a pretty big push, I'd say the last six to nine months to capture as much of the student mind share as possible. And I think that what the big AI labs have found is, well, you can go after students
Starting point is 00:24:15 and offer a free year of Gemini or a free year of Chantybt, and it works to a certain extent. But if you really want to penetrate these classrooms, and if you really want to ultimately get more users in the long run, right, because that's what this is about. I'll be the one that calls a spade a spade, right?
Starting point is 00:24:33 If you get people using your products in school, you are more likely to use them at your place of employment or push for their use, right? Especially if you are trained and educated them on the right way. You know, so many people now, those who are still hiring students, which is way fewer than in years past, right? They want these young people to come
Starting point is 00:24:54 and help train their other people on AI skills. So smart move, obviously, from Anthropic and Open AI going the teacher route as well, right? Because if you do want this to be sticky in colleges, universities, countries, and transition into the workforce, you have to get the teachers on board as well. And you have to educate them as well. All right. Our last piece of AI news is Apple finally, finally, going to be an AI company or at least offer AI that works for. real this time. They swear. They promise. All right. So according to reports, Apple is really planning to release a smarter AI Siri as soon as next month, at least in a beta version. So according to
Starting point is 00:25:45 reports, Apple plans to demonstrate a next generation Siri, which is obviously using Google's Gemini model in a late February presentation. So Bloomberg's Mark German report, The demo will show off capabilities from Apple's partnership with Google, which we've reported on here over the last couple of months, including a more conversational chatbot-style response. So this is kind of a two-tier thing here. There's something on the Siri side, which is using a version of Google, Gemini. And then there's others, kind of other AI features that are going to be more chatbot text style,
Starting point is 00:26:24 rolled out in different places in Apple's operating system as well. So the new Siri is expected to first appear in iOS 26.4, which Apple plans to open for beta testing in February before a public release in March or early April. So after the February demonstration, Apple aims for a larger public unveiling at its developer conference this summer where the voice assistant is currently co-named Campos. So, according to those reports, Apple will replace Siri with a new codename Campos product, a chatGPT-style chatbot that supports text and voice conversations. So, yeah, what we might see first is just a smarter AI Siri.
Starting point is 00:27:11 That might be coming, like I said, in March or April. And then at Apple's WWDC this summer, they may unveil the more chat-GPT-style chatbots. So it is going to reportedly be the same Google Gemini technology that's going to be powering both versions. So I do assume it's going to work very similarly as Google Gemini does right now, right? So if you're using Gemini.com or if you're using Gemini Live, so there you go. If you want to sneak peek of what Siri might sound like best case scenario, go use Gemini Live, which I think right now is one of the best, probably the best AI voice assistant, best AI live voice assistant. I really wish Open AI would update their voice mode to, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:59 it still uses the GPT4, GPT40 model. So I wish they would bring the newer model in the fold, which is why I think Gemini Live is much better. So Apple's could immediately, right, if they're getting the most up-to-date version, could actually have a smart Siri, right? And maybe they'd face less lawsuits because they've been getting a lot of class action lawsuits for promising a lot of things in their Apple intelligence suite over the past two years that they just have not been able to deliver on. All right. So some more details and confirmations here from the reports. So Campos will run on the custom version of Google's Gemini under a multi-year partnership rather than being built entirely in-house at Apple. They tried. They haven't been able to do it, according to
Starting point is 00:28:44 reports. So it will have deep system access to personal data in order to find Find files, music, calendar events, and change settings, raising convenience and privacy tradeoffs. So Campos will be embedded in core apps like mail, photos, Apple Music, Xcode, and others to assist with summarization and content creation. So Apple is planning, like I said, that phased rollout with their Apple Foundation model 10 or AFM 10, powering some of those Siri improvements as well as the Gemini model as early as this spring. And then the full Campos experience is slated to ship with iOS 27 in September of 2026 after what is expected to be a June reveal at their worldwide developer conference.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So I don't know. I'll believe it when I see it. We've been reporting now for probably nine months, right? that Apple was out shopping for partners, right? So they have had kind of an official partnership with the Win AI. So all that really happens is if you enable this setting inside Siri and you ask Siri something and it doesn't know, which is like everything, it'll instead just open up a chat, GPT query.
Starting point is 00:30:08 So they haven't had a true like partnership with the company where if Apple was smart, they should have just done what they're doing with Google Gemini with their current partnership with Open AI. Anyways, all that's really happening here is Apple failed, right? They failed really, really bad. And I think I've already said this. I do think Apple is probably not even going to be a top at some point this year. I don't think that they're going to be a top three company, at least when it comes to market cap,
Starting point is 00:30:41 which is kind of crazy to think about because they had like a trillion dollar lead over everyone else. So to think that it's very likely that Apple will fall out of the top three companies in the U.S. by market cap, kind of crazy. And I wouldn't be surprised unless this Gemini integration works well. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple falls out of the top five by 2027. Just with some other companies really surging, you might see Open AI Anthropic go, you know, do their IPOs by then, not saying that they'd instantly, you know, vault past Apple. They wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:31:23 But I do think Apple is just way too far behind, right? Like I said, best, absolute best case is this Gemini partnership goes off swimmingly, no hiccups, everything works, right? But even if all that happens, all that it does is it brings them to the current point of, you know, Gemini's models, right? And Google has been collecting way more data to improve those models. and Apple's not collecting any, you know, user data to build their own models in the future. So I don't think Apple really wins here.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I think Google ultimately wins here with this Apple partnership. Apple just waived the big white flag and they're essentially white labeling all of Google's services. So, you know, it's not like you're going to, you know, get some new access to technology, although I will say this. What I am excited for is just for to actually have AI on my small. So like I said, it's, it's, it's no new tech feats that are going to be coming with this Campos. It's just more or less what's been available. If you had a, you know, Samsung phone for the last year, you know, that's probably what we're going to be seeing out of Apple just powered by Google and code named Campos.
Starting point is 00:32:40 All right. That's not all. Those were the big stories. But each week we end with kind of our what's new and what's next. So these are kind of some smaller stories that didn't make, you know, the top eight or top 10 stories, some rumors, some leaks, all that stuff. So let's go over at bullet point style. Let me take a last sip from my giant water bottle. You know, shout out Brandon James for this water bottle.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Let's get into it. Quick hits. Here we go. So OpenAI said that its first hardware device will launch in late 2026. Runway announced their Gen 4-5 image to video, adding longer stories and consistent characters. Apple is reportedly developing a small air-tie-air-tag-sized wearable AI pin with cameras. Anthropic published a new constitution for Claude describing values and behavior used directly in training. 11 Labs. This one was interesting.
Starting point is 00:33:42 They released the 11 album, a studio-quality AI co-created tracks with Grammy collaborators. Shopify, people aren't happy about this, began charging merchants an additional 4% fee on chatGBT checkout transactions.
