This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips.
Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in Adobe Firefly, the All In One Creative AI Studio.
Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest,
orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface.
You direct the outcome.
The assistant accelerates execution.
The AI models themselves didn't change.
However, just about every way that we use AI could change from what happened this week in AI news.
I mean, Open AI is going to be rolling out ads on their platform.
Google partnered with Apple now officially.
They changed the way that Gemini works.
And Claude Co-work could be the...
biggest change in all of this in terms of how we use large language models. So if you miss
anything this week, don't worry, we're going to be catching you up on this week's edition of the
AI News That Matters on Everyday AI. What's going on, y'all? Welcome to Everyday AI. My name's
Jordan Wilson. And if you're new here, well, Everyday AI, it's every day. It's a daily live stream
podcast and free daily newsletter, helping everyday business leaders like you and me, not just
keep up with what's happening in the world of AI, but how we can make sense of it to grow our
companies and our career. So if you're like me trying to keep up and trying to get ahead,
well, it starts here. But to take it on the next level, make sure you go to our website at your
everyday AI.com. Sign up for that free daily newsletter where we're going to be recapping,
not just these stories, but everything else that's happening in AI today. And that's how you get
ahead to grow your company and your career. All right. And FYI, our inner circle is live as well as
our free prime prompt polished course.
We're rolling out slow access to everyone, FYI.
So if you voted in our poll last week, we're going to be giving you access here in the next day or two,
making sure everyone has a smooth transition on.
But eventually we will be opening it up to everyone else.
All right.
Let's get into the AI news that matters for the week of January 19th.
All right.
What do large language models need?
Well, they need training data probably just as much as anything else.
And that now has a big change after the Wiki Media Foundation has signed a major AI licensing deal.
So let's talk about it.
The Wikimedia Foundation has announced landmark licensing agreements with top AI companies.
So they've signed deals with Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, and perplexity.
So those companies can access Wikipedia's data through their new paid Wikimedia Enterprise platform,
joining earlier partners like Google and Ecosia.
So these agreements replace what's been going on,
which is just web scraping, right?
All these companies scraping the open web
with now structured machine readable data delivered
via specialized APIs covering over 65 million articles
in more than 300 languages.
So the enterprise platforms offers AI companies
real-time updates and snapshots of Wikipedia content
helping models stay current with live edits while reducing the need to clean the process of that raw and sometimes dirty and unorganized data.
So by formulizing partnerships, Wikimedia aims to offset rising infrastructure costs caused by aggressive AI scrapers, including server maintenance and bandwidth expenses.
The deal provides a new revenue stream for the nonprofit, which has seen traditional Wikipedia traffic and donations decline.
as AI chatbots increasingly summarize its content.
This also avoids litigation by treating Wikipedia's factual content as not subject to traditional copyright,
provided AI models credit human contributors, and do not reproduce text verbatim.
So the whole Wikipedia thing is very interesting, right?
Because Wikipedia is not creating technically its own new sources of information.
Like I said, they have human editors, essentially.
you know, write what has happened and then attribute that in the, you know, in the footer, more or less.
So in a way, Wikipedia was almost kind of like the original large language model, right?
You wouldn't have to go read 30 different pieces of information.
You hopefully got an unbiased and, you know, all-inclusive kind of answer to a question.
So, but for the most part, every single large language model has used Wikipedia as a main source of information.
So this is a pretty big step forward in kind of figuring out what the next step is going to be.
But like I've said for a long time, it's lawsuits, partnerships, or the media company goes out of business.
There's really no third option.
All right.
Our next piece of AI news, we've technically reported on this quite a bit, but now it's officially official.
Apple has announced a significant multi-year partnership with Google to paro, to,
power some of Apple's most important AI services, including a more personalized Siri.
So they're going to be using Google Gemini's models.
And this move marks a pretty big shift in Apple's strategy.
Because before they were trying to do it themselves and they've been trying to do it
themselves for four plus years and they've been promoting this Apple intelligence that hasn't
work and they faced many lawsuits.
So now they essentially said, hey, Google, we need your help.
You're really good.
And that's what's going to happen now.
So here's some more details on this pretty big partnership.
Apple will rely on Google Gemini's AI models to enhance services like Siri,
marking the first time that Apple has used Google's AI or foundational technology in its ecosystem.
So the partnership was officially announced in a joint statement from both companies,
promising innovative new experiences for Apple users.
Although we've known about this for at least two months or so,
right? There's a lot of reporting earlier on back and forth. Is it going to be Open AI? Is it going to be
Anthropic? Is it going to be Google? And then we heard some official reporting two months ago that it was
going to be Google, but now the companies have confirmed this in the joint statement. So this is not
Apple's first external AI deal. In June of 2024, Apple also partnered with Open AI to bring
chat GPT to its Apple devices as part of the Apple Intelligence Suite. So yeah, they couldn't figure it out in time.
So essentially, if you ask Apple's Apple intelligence, anything, really, it either gave you a normal answer that wasn't really good and didn't really use your data or just said, hey, you need Chad Chip ET for that and it just kicked you over to chat chip deep.
So the financial terms of the Apple Google deal have not been disclosed, but past agreements between the two firms have been valued in the billions of dollars.
Regulatory scrutiny is obviously expected here as previous deals between Apple and Google, such as a, uh,
the deal where Google reportedly pays tens of billions of dollars of deal a year to be the
default search engine on Apple devices.
Well, this one is going to also invite some regulatory scrutiny in the U.S., UK, and
EU over potential anti-competitive practices and market dominance.
I don't think it has any teeth dough, right?
Especially when you look at, you can make the argument, right, that Open AI is the number
one player. Obviously, Open AI and Google are going 1A and 1B. So this is Apple is not even a contender
in the AI space. So I don't think this is going to be viewed as, you know, the two AI giants
teaming up for a monopoly, not at all because Apple is not in the conversation. All right. Our next
piece of AI news, yeah, another big deal worth a lot of billions. That's because Open AI has struck
a computing partnership with Surabra's systems valued at over 10.com.
$10 billion. So the multi-year deal, which will run through 2028, gives open AI access to
Sarabra's specialized wafer scale engine chips aiming to reduce the company's reliance on
Nvidia's GPU for large-scale AI training and real-world applications. So Sarabara's hardware
will be delivered in phases supporting open AI's push to build a more resilient and diversified
infrastructure for massive AI workloads. Industry analysts see this.
as a direct challenge to Nvidia's dominance in the AI chip market,
marking the first time a major AI lab is betting heavily on non-NVIDIA alternatives at this scale.
The deal also draws attention due to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's personal investment in Sarabras,
though the agreement was formalized at the corporate level.
All right.
So this, I mean, this isn't new for Open AI, right?
They're striking a lot of different partnerships with different infrastructure in chip makers.
just to try to be able to scale things a little more quickly on the compute side.
Open AI has been saying for more than a year that they have different features and models
usually ready well ahead of time, but they say that they're not able to serve those features due
to compute purposes.
But maybe that'll change because they made a big switch, obviously with the ads that we're
going to be talking about here in a couple of minutes.
All right.
Speaking of a big change, Google is finally doing.
something that I personally wanted, but I don't think most people are going to use, but I think
you should. That's because Gemini's new personal intelligence feature is rolling out as a beta
version to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., promising a more personalized
AI experience by securely connecting with users' Google's apps. So now Gemini lets users
be able to link up their Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube,
and their search history for tailored AI responses,
making it easier to get personal answers about travel plans, purchases,
recommendations, or anything going on in your work.
So this beta feature is available for personal Google accounts,
but not for business, enterprise, or education users.
That's the big downside right away, right?
Like, unfortunately, Google does roll things out.
sometimes first or sometimes just only to personal Gmail addresses.
Sometimes, you know, these things might get released to businesses later.
So that's the thing I'm a little on the downer about, right?
So I have this on my personal, you know, Gmail Ultra plan that I have.
I really wish I could get this in my work account.
That would be amazing.
So I might have to do one of those workarounds where I, you know, forward some of my, you know,
work stuff.
to my personal email. I don't know. It gets a little messy. So some more details. Google says that
privacy is emphasized. Connecting your apps is optional and Gemini does not train directly on your
personal data like your Gmail inbox or photo library. So Gemini can reference details from your
emails or photos such as pulling up your car's license plate from a photo or suggesting
tire options based on past road trips. So the feature works across the web, Android and iOS and
users can control which apps are connected or disconnected to them at any time.
So the rollout starts with U.S. subscribers, but Google plans to expand access to more
countries and eventually free tiers.
So I have been trying this out since it was announced.
I did get access to it fairly early.
I really like it.
And here's the thing.
At first, I was a little frustrated because I'm like, you know, it's pulling things from,
you know, my email or, you know, certain history from my Google account that are maybe too far
out and no longer relevant, but there is kind of a setting that's a little hidden where it's
kind of like a custom instructions, but you can essentially just chat with Google Gemini to
update it from anything in your personal intelligence that maybe isn't right or is outdated.
So at first, I was like, ah, there's some things I'm not really feeling, but once I found that
not really hidden setting, but kind of hidden setting, I think that it improved a lot.
All right.
Speaking of Google, yeah, they're trying to completely.
changed the way that people do shopping and they're starting this new venture by partnering with
the world's largest retailer. So here's what's happening. Google is expanding its Gemini
AI chatbot with new shopping features partnering with major retailers like Walmart, Shopify,
and Wayfair to turn the app into a virtual merchant and assistant. So here's what that means.
Essentially, you will be able to check out in AI mode in the very near future.
without even having to visit these websites like Walmart, Wayfair, Shopify, etc.
So the entire shopping experience is moving on to Google AI mode.
My hot take, not that you need it here on the Monday AI news show.
I've been saved for a long time that traditional internet is going to die.
And this is another indication of that, right?
You're not even think if you're an avid shopper at Walmart or Shopify or Wayfair,
think of how much time you probably spend on those websites.
I remember, I don't know, looking for some piece of furniture on Wayfair before.
And I spent so much time on that website, right?
And these companies obviously make a lot of money because they serve you different ads while you're on their website.
They obviously, you know, sell you products.
But pretty big change in how AI and shopping can get done.
So the new instant checkout function will let customers buy products from participating retailers directly inside the Gemini chat without needing to visit a separate website.
So Walmart customers who link their Walmarts and Google accounts will receive personalized recommendations based on their previous purchases and can combine new purchases with their existing Walmart or Sam's Club online carts.
Payments will be processed using cards linked to Google accounts at first, but Google plans to add PayPal and other payment providers soon.
So this move is part of a broader race among Google of an AI in Amazon to create seamless AI power.
shopping experiences that take users from browsing to buying in a single conversation.
All right.
Well, that might change how shopping is done.
And our next piece of AI news might change how drug discovery is done.
That's because NVIDIA and Eli Lilly have announced a major $1 billion partnership to open up a
cutting edge AI drug discovery lab in the Bay Area, aiming to speed up the development of new
medicines with a five-year, $1 billion commitment.
So the new lab is reportedly going to be opening by the end of March and will house
teams from both companies working side by side to accelerate drug discovery using AI in high
performance computing.
So Lily's new newly built AI factory powered by NVIDIA's DGX super pod and future Vera Rubin
systems is designed to scale up drug research in a hybrid cloud environment.
So the initiative centers on generating high quality ground truth data through large-scale lab experiments,
which will train next generation biology biology foundation models with multimodal data.
So the goal is to create a closed loop feedback system, better experiments produce better data,
better data improves models, and improved models make future experiments more targeted and efficient.
So the scope extends beyond research and development with plans to apply AI,
across Lilly's manufacturing and commercial operations, potentially transforming the entire business.
So the partnership builds on Lily's October announcement of creating the most powerful
pharma-owned AI supercomputer aiming to industrialize drug discovery and development.
All right. And this one, even though the Chad GPT ads is the story that grabbed all the headlines
and the chatter. This one from Anthropic might be one of the bigger.
I don't know, new AI announcements we've seen in the last year or two.
So Anthropic is making headlines with the launch of Claude Co-Work, a new AI agent designed
to handle everyday computer tasks for non-technical users.
So the move is seen as a major step to just bring AI that works the way we do.
So Anthropic has released Claude Co-Work as a research preview first for Max subscribers,
but they actually just rolled it out to the normal $20 a month paid users as well.
So here's what Claude Co-Work is.
It can autonomously manipulate, read, analyze, and create files on a user's computer,
making it a hands-off assistant for tasks like organizing downloads,
converting receipts to spreadsheets, and drafting documents from desktop notes.
So unlike the developer-focused Claude code,
co-work is built for non-technical users,
and aims to simplify complex tasks without requiring coding knowledge.
Here's the thing that's actually kind of crazy.
Anthropics team said that they built co-work in just a week and a half,
and it was built using Claude Code.
So Claude Code built Claude Co-work in a week and a half,
which if you go use Claude Co-work, you're like,
okay, this is crazy that this was built by AI in a week and a half.
So here's what it is.
Strip away the Bullet Point features,
There's all the technical terms.
If you've ever used Claude code, it's very good.
It's one of the reasons I think that Anthropics models have continued to just soar in
popularity because their direct connection inside Claude Code, right?
It's a coding tool.
But what Anthropic found and what myself and a lot of other people were realizing was
people were using Claude Code for non-coding reasons.
They're like, wait, this thing can control your computer.
Yes, that's great if you're trying to code something and access your local files.
But what about if you just want this thing to do work for you?
Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience.
Meet Firefly A.I. Assistant now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio.
Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want,
and shape the outcome as it takes form with the assistant.
The assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows, drawing on 60-plus pro-grade tools across
Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom Express, and more
to help bring your ideas to life.
You can also get started with creative skills, a growing library of pre-built
workflows for common creative tasks, like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching,
and creating social variations.
Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time.
You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director.
Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta.
See it today at firefly.ad.com.
And that's essentially what Claude Co-Work is.
It connects your, it can control your local computer, your local files, your terminal, etc.
It can control your local browser as well as controlling anything in the claw.
in the in the in the in the this is hard to say in the cloud from clod that one was hard i don't know why
in the cloud from anthropic right so any of your skills uh your information right that you have
in clod combine that with its ability to control your desktop which is huge control your
browser via a chrome extension right and you have what i think is the first kind of official foray
into the future of work.
And this is right now available to only Mac users.
And we are doing a show on this on Wednesday for our working Wednesday.
FYI and full transparency.
I had to pre-record the show because I'm actually on a little trip right now and feeling a little sick too.
Great.
You know, you always want to rest and recharge and then you, you know, don't feel the best.
However, I did have to record it right before they announced that this was coming out to all pro plans as well.
So I think in the show, I probably mentioned that you have to be on the $100 a month,
Max plan, which you did.
And then an hour after I was done, they rolled it out to everyone.
So if you're on a paid plan, and if you have a Mac, because you need Mac, because it is a program that you download,
and it runs on your computer.
So you have to have Mac and at least a pro plan.
And you can use Claude Co-Work.
So make sure to join us Wednesday as we go over that.
All right.
In our last big story, at least, OpenAI is bringing ads to chat GPT,
which might sound surprising.
But if you listen to this show, I've been saying for many, many months that chat GPT was rolling out ads.
We actually did a pretty, which I thought was a really great show detailing it all,
the nine reasons why ads are coming and you can't do anything about it.
And people at the time were like, no, this is.
never happening and I'm like, yes, it's absolutely happening. And now we get the official word
from Open AI that yes, it is happening. So OpenAI will begin showing ads to adult users on the free
version of chat GPT, starting in the US in the coming weeks, making its first official move into
digital advertising. So pay subscribers, including Plus, pro and enterprise users, will not see ads
keeping their experience ad free. However, there is a new, uh,
tier-up plan that was first more of a global plan offered in other countries called
ChatGBTGPT Go.
So this lower-priced plan, I believe it's about $8 a month, and they opened up the plan
to anyone in the world.
So this new paid plan will get ads, which is pretty significant, is if you ask me.
So that newly launched, low-cost go subscription will also include ads for users who are on that
plan.
ads will appear at the bottom of chat chp t's answers and will clearly be labeled to avoid any confusion.
So it's not like chat tipt is going to be trying to tell you something and it's not going to be marked as an ad.
So it will, at least according to Open AI and what they release, it will look traditionally like older Google ads that were very easy to see.
Oh, yes, this is an ad, but will appear actually at the bottom of the screen and not at the top like traditional ads may appear in search results.
So OpenAI says ads will not influence chat chafety's responses and promises never to sell users data to advertisers.
So users under 18 will be shielded from ads and sensitive topics like politics, health, and mental health are excluded from ad placements.
CEO Sam Allman previously expressed concerns about ads eroding user trust, but now says the company hopes this business model can work for those that want free AI access.
So the move comes as OpenAI faces major spending commitments,
including a reported over $1 trillion in infrastructure deals signed in the coming years.
So the company is on track to reach a $20 billion annualized revenue rate and ads
could help meet those ambitious financial goals.
So users will be able to learn why they see specific ads.
They can dismiss the ads and submit feedback to improve the experience as,
Open AI refines the rollout.
Here's the thing.
I know a lot of people are going to lose their noodles over this, right?
Because Open AI has nearly 800 or sorry, almost 900 million weekly active users right now,
but their last reported official number is 800 million weekly active users.
And they've said that only 5% of those users are paid.
So that means that there is probably more than 700 million people who are using chat
every week on the free plan.
And here's the thing.
I don't care what you're talking about.
If you're not paying for something, usually that means you are the service, right?
Like eventually, you're going to have to pay for something in some way, shape, form.
You can even say, oh, well, email's free.
Yeah, it is.
Right.
But a lot of free email providers over the years have had to monetize.
And what that means is, you know, they change their storage and you used to get generous
storage.
And now it's like, oh, if you want to receive an email,
essentially you got to go delete everything or start paying us every single month.
So this to me is not a surprise.
And I think it's obviously the right move from Open AI.
They've given away the world's most powerful intelligence.
And what I think is one of the best form factors.
I think Chad Chip has the best user interface user experience.
And it's not really close.
And I think most people will agree with that.
That's not like a hot take of any sorts.
Right.
So they have the most.
users, they have one of the best products, right? They don't have the best models per se anymore,
I don't think, right? Yes, I think GVT52 Pro is the absolute best single model, but it is very
slow and time consuming. So that's not what most people are going to use. So I think when you
talk about day-to-day, like daily driver models, I think it's still Gemini 3 Pro and maybe even
Claude Opus 4-5, depending on what you're using it for. So Open AI still has traditionally, they
kicked off this generative AI phase. They've offered an amazing product for free to hundreds of
millions of users. And if these free users want to keep using the best product, it costs a lot of money.
Right. I've been saying this for a long time. Open AI CEO, Sam Altman has said on a lot of their
paid plans, Open AI loses money. So obviously on the free plans, they lose a ton of money.
And just the fact that you could pay $20 a month or nothing and get this level of intelligence is absolutely silly.
So I do think that this is the right move.
And I'm all on board, right?
I'm a little different.
I've talked about it a lot over the years on the show.
I'm someone that's like, yes, company, take all my data.
I don't care.
Take my health data.
Take my financial data.
Don't really care, right?
As long as it helps me, you know, make better decisions in my life.
And as long as at any time I can, you know, kind of click the disconnect.
or delete button if I have that option, right?
So I do think there's going to be an uproar, right?
Because as they get this right and as they refine it, they're going to make some mistakes,
right?
There's people are going to screenshot things that are going to go viral and look really bad.
Like, oh, I can't believe, you know, an ad was showed, like this kind of ad was shown in
this kind of way.
But it is so much different than Google search, right?
And as someone that, right, I've had a marketing agency for eight years.
So I've spent millions of dollars managing ads or sorry, I've managed millions of dollars in advertising.
And it's a much more straightforward to manage advertising that's keyword based, right?
It's like, oh, when someone is searching for a certain service or product, that's what you're bidding against.
This is completely different because think of the level of insights that users give to large language models like chat TPT.
And the amount of information that they know about users is huge.
And it goes so much further than actual keyword.
words. All right. So like I said, go listen to the chat. GBT ads episode. If you want more on that,
that was episode 641 if you wanted to go check that out. All right. That's it for our main
news stories. But there was a ton. My gosh, a ton of other news stories that didn't make our top
top stories cut. So let's go over a quick bullet point rundown of what's new and what's next.
These are kind of some of these are rumors. Some of these are just small.
news stories that didn't make the cut.
So let's get straight into it.
So chat GPT workspace apps in custom GPs are rolling out for beta for business users.
So yeah, you'll be able to use apps in your custom GPs, which is pretty cool.
BlackRock raised $12.5 billion for AI infrastructure fund targeting U.S. data centers.
Some hiring drama.
So OpenAI rehired Barrett's Zoff and Luke Metz, who both,
left OpenAI to be co-founders at Thinking Machines Lab, but now they are back with Open
AI. Anthropic is testing knowledge bases for Claude Co-work with topic-specific persistent memories.
Manus AI partnered with similar web data for paid accounts, which is actually huge, y'all.
Like, similar web is a treasure trove of data and usually very expensive, and somehow you now are
getting certain level of that for free if you are on a Manus page.
account. Google launched V-O-3-1 updates, so now you have 9 by 16 vertical video and 4K options
for paid plans. OpenAI will be rolling out Chad GPD jobs, according to Leaks, a career
assistant for job search, resume, and advice. OpenAI invested in Merge Labs brain computer
interface company, which their CEO, Sam Aldman, is a co-founder in. OpenAI launched
ChadTPD Translate to compete directly with Google Translate. Meta launched their MetaCompute
initiative to build the tens of gigawatts of AI infrastructure. Cloud added AI health integrations.
Google's anti-gravity is rolling out agent skills. Some new leaks show that Anthropic is testing new
widgets for Claude Web app, including weather, stocks, sports scores, and places with maps.
I like that, you know, Open AI out of that in Chad. Tia.
months ago. Perplexity has had that for a while. Google's been rolling it out. So
Anthropic getting on the board there as well. Google released Translate Gemma, their medical model
in an open source way that do or sorry, not their medical model, their translate model that delivers
translation in 55 languages. Chat Chb-T lost access to WhatsApp after Meta enforced their broad
AI usage restrictions. So yeah, meta said, yeah, you can't use WhatsApp anymore. Chat Chb-T.
Some new reports show that Anthropic and OpenAI are getting closer to an IPO.
Cursors team, this was nuts, detailed how they used GPT-5-2 to build an actual working browser.
So if you don't know anything about coding your browsers, that's absolutely insane.
This thing was 3 million lines of code, and it was actually a working browser that GPT-5-2 built, right?
Where normal browsers usually take years and millions of dollars.
in enormous engineering teams.
So, yeah, apparently, cursor just used GVT52 and got the job done.
Microsoft launched an elevate for educators to help teachers better use AI.
A couple open AI things.
