But in between the supply chain risk designation and anthropic saying they're suing the government, OpenAI and Google both dropped pretty consequential models in their own rights. Then, Nvidia CEO Jensen Juan unexpectedly shower. one open source project with the highest praise possible, while your spreadsheets just got a new friend that will do all the work for you. Speaking of doing all the work for you, Anthropic came out with a report that basically said, well, here's the jobs our AI models are going to do for you.

There was a ton of news in AI this week. And if you missed any of it, if you don't have hours a day to keep up and be like, what does this mean? Don't worry. That's exactly what I. I do on Mondays on Everyday AI. Welcome. What's going on, y'all?

On Mondays, we bring you the AI news that matters. So if you don't have hours every single day, well, Mondays is where it's at. Let's get straight into it. The big AI news story of this week was undoubtedly the ongoing Anthropic versus the U.S. government saga. And it did not disappoint.

If you like drama, if you like to see what's happening under the covers, we got a lot of exclusive reporting this week. So the very public beef between the U.S. government and Anthropic continued after the Pentagon late last week, officially designated Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk, a move that could reshape the relationship between the tech firm and the U.S. government. So on Wednesday, the Department of Defense officially labeled Anthropic and its AI products, a national security supply chain risk, immediately banning federal use and threatening the company's access to government products. So the Department of Defense said, hey, from here on out, you can't use Anthropic Claw models.

And they actually said, you have six months to transition, but we've seen reports that they're still using it. So Anthropics CEO, Dario Madi, in response, announced that the company will sue the U.S. government, arguing that that designation is legally unsound and meant for foreign adversaries, not U.S. firms. So the conflict began, as we've been covering it over the last few weeks, when Anthropic reportedly refused Pentagon demands to remove certain wording around safety guardrails that blocked its AI from being used for fully autonomous weapons in mass domestic surveillance. So the Pentagon insisted on quote unquote, all lawful use of Anthropics AI. But Anthropic held firm on what they said were its ethical restrictions leading to a breakdown in negotiations.

And that's not even all of the drama. That's because this week related to this, there was also a leaked internal memo that came out from Dario Modi that set off a firestorm after he criticized OpenAI for quickly agreeing to the Pentagon terms, calling their approach safety theater and accusing them of prioritizing employee appeasement over meaningful safeguards. Emote later apologized for the tone of his message, but reaffirmed what he said was Anthropics' commitment. to safety and responsible AI use, even in military partnerships. Open AI, meanwhile, signed its own deal with the Pentagon last week and revised it, moving quickly to fill the gap left by Anthropics ban. The new supply chain risk designation is pretty big because, according to reports, this is the first time it's ever been used in this way against a U.S. company.

And it could force all defense contractors to stop using Anthropics Clawed model if they are working with Anthropic directly. Though Anthropic argues the legal reach is narrower than the administration claims. So yeah, there's a lot of, you know, kind of he said, she said when it comes to the application of this supply chain risk. So Anthropic is essentially saying, yeah, this doesn't really, number one, this doesn't apply to us. And we're going to sue the U.S. government. And this is not lawful. And the government is saying, well, no, you know, if you do business with the government, you can't use Claude's models. And they said no more immediately.

And they're giving different departments six months to find a plan. So Anthropics lawsuit will challenge the use of the supply chain risk statute against a domestic company, arguing it violates due process in the First Amendment. So I have no clue what's going to happen here. Reading it myself, I'm like, okay, I see where Anthropic. is coming from. It does seem like a little bit of a broader application of the supply chain risk than what it was originally meant for. But I guess it's up to the current administration to decide how they want to try and apply certain laws. And I guess that's why we have the judicial system to begin with. So I do expect that this is not going to die down. And actually, our next

new story does relate to it. So let's get straight into that. So the, The Pentagon's ban on Anthropics Cloud AI for defense contracts has sparked concern, but tech giants say that most users won't feel the impact. That's because Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services have confirmed that Claude AI remains available to all of their customers, except those directly tied specifically to Department of Defense contracts. So Microsoft said they will continue offering Anthropics models through M365, GitHub and AI Foundry for enterprises, startups, and general business users. Google announced Claude remains accessible on Google Cloud for non-defense workloads with no changes expected for those other clients. Then AWS told CNBC that its customers and partners can keep using Claude for non-defense projects.

So these assurances mean that businesses and professionals using Claude via Microsoft, Google, or AWS, even if they are in government roles, do not need to worry about losing access. So the Pentagon designation, sorry, the Pentagon designated Anthropic as the supply chain risk after while the company refused to provide unrestricted access to its AI for military usage. So just as a kind of reassurance to everyone out there, because I've even seen a lot of comments from our audience wondering if they work in the government and they use Claude models. So at least right now, the way that the big tech and their partners, right, because Google, Microsoft and Amazon are all investors in Anthropic and they provide Anthropics Claw models

to their clients, right, which include a lot of big government agencies. So right now, the way that even those big partners, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are kind of framing this is that the restriction only replies to defense-related. contracts and direct contractors in other government's kind of clients are not impacted. So yeah, like I see, we'll see this one. I'm sure it's going to shake out in the courts. It's probably going to take a while. My hunch is this is probably not going to impact a whole lot of people unless you

actually work in the Department of Defense. But again, that's why I'm not a lawyer and I just talk AI every day. All right. Speaking of talking AI every day, I talked about this one late last week because it was big. Our next piece of AI news, OpenAI, has launched its latest frontier model, GPT-54 thinking and GPt54 Pro, making a major leap in capabilities and positioning itself squarely, more so against competitors Anthropic in Google. So here's what you need to know. And we did do a deeper dive on Friday. That's episode 728.

So make sure you go check that one out. So OpenAI is GPT-54. Pro now achieves an 82% win or tie rate against human experts in the GDP bowel benchmark, meaning it matches or outperforms industry professionals in real world tasks, 82% of the time, which when you think about it is absolutely bonkers. So the new models are already available immediately to paid subscribers across chat. the API and the Codex platform. But right now, free users, not so much.

That's because OpenAI also had a kind of confusing rollout last week because, well, free users have a new model to use as well. And that's GPT 53 Instant. So that is because OpenAI released that. I think the day before they released GPT 54. So free users and the new default model, even for paid users, is GPT5.4. is GPT 53 instant. So yeah, a little confusing.

We went from this point last week being on GPT 52 to then they announced GPt 53 instant, to then they immediately skipped over. You know, there's no GPT 53 thinking, no GPT 53 pro. We went straight to GPT 54 thinking and pro. Yeah, a little confusing. But what's not confusing is the benchmarks. So on most scientific benchmarks, GPD 54 is outperforming Anthropics Claude Opus 46 and Google Gemini 31 Pro in most categories,

even those related to computer use, tool calling, and real world tasks, which is generally where Anthropics and Google's models excel. So the other big thing to keep an eye on is one million. That's because in the API and on Codex, GPD54 features a one million token context window for long-running tasks and projects. So OpenAI says the model has significantly reduced hallucinations as well, cutting that down by 33%, making it more reliable for business critical work, such as spreadsheets, presentations, and document creation.

So OpenAI has emphasized native computer use and tool integration, allowing the model to operate desktop and browser tasks, use tools more efficiently, and interact with a user's machine for complex workflows. So I know this, it's, it's like this cycle, right? Because essentially the last three and a half weeks, we've gotten models from all the big players, right? We had, well, kind of in consecutive weeks, open AI or sorry, Anthropic had their opus 46 followed by Sonnet 46. Then we got Gemini 3.1 Pro. And now we have OpenAI GPT 5.4.

So, you know, it's one of these things each time for the most part, one of these three companies released. is a new point model, right? So going from Opus 4-5 to Opus 4-6, you know, Gemini 3 to Gemini 3-1 Pro, same thing with Open AI. Well, they technically went up two points, right? GBT-5-2 to GBT-5-4. Any time this happens, for the most part, for that week or two weeks or three weeks, that model's probably going to be the best in the world until the next one comes out. I think this is why it's important for all business leaders to, well, number one, stick to your AI operating system of choice. You can't be trying to switch your workloads every single week because essentially every

single week or every other week or at least once a month, there's going to be a new world's best model. So let me know on Wednesdays we go hands on with our AI at work on Wednesdays. Should we do the GPT 54 model? So we did more of a coverage. Here's the news. Here's the seven big takeaways on Friday show. So if we go hands on on Wednesdays, let me know.

Should we do that? Should we do something else? because maybe this one is just as important. Our next piece of AI news, yeah, might sound small, but it's actually kind of big. So Chad GPT announced Excel. Yeah, Chad GPT for Excel is rolling out in beta, offering a major upgrade for professionals who spend their days in spreadsheets like me. So the new Excel add-in for Chad-GPT embeds ChadGPT embeds,

Chad-GPT directly into Excel workbooks, enabling users to build, update and analyze models using plain language instead of manual formulas. So powered by the new GPT-54 model, the tool is designed for advanced financial reasoning and Excel-based modeling with performance nearly doubling on internal investment banking benchmarks compared to previous versions. So users can now integrate trusted financial data from providers like FACSET, Dow Jones, LSEG, S&P Global, Moody's, etc. directly within chat GPD without having to leave.

So streamlining research and analysis. So chat GPT for Excel supports tasks such as scenario analysis, reporting inventory management and budgeting, preserving workflow structure and formulas while speeding up workflows. So the tool can explain outputs, trace errors in link answers to specific cells, making it easier for teams to audit and verify results before making decisions. So who can get it? Well, right now, access is currently available in beta for ChadGBT business, enterprise,

EDU, teachers, pro, and plus users in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. All right, and that's not it. Maybe you're a Google Sheath person. For me, I probably use Google Sheets a little bit more than Excel, although I do use Excel now and then, but OpenAI did also announce that they're going to have a similar add-in coming for Google Sheets soon. So teams can also export cited outputs like earnings, summaries, and valuation snapshots to PDF or Microsoft Word. This one, it's pretty interesting because although Microsoft did finally kind of roll out, you know, co-pilot in Excel that actually worked a couple of months ago, I think it was maybe Claude's plugin that really set this off.

Right. I think that was in February. is when it started to roll out more broadly. So here we are next month. It seems like, I don't know, it seems like Open AI has been kind of tracing in some of Anthropics footsteps. You know, I talked about that a little bit last week,

and I think in our start here series this week, I'm pretty sure we're going to do kind of the AI race. So giving everyone kind of a baseline of where all the different companies are at. And I think that's something I'm going to be addressing in that episode. So if you are curious, Who's winning in what area, right? If you use Microsoft Excel, should you be using copilot?

Should you be using the Claude plugin? Should you be using the chat TBT Excel add-in? Right. Those are the types of things we're going to be addressing on that show. All right. Open AI was not the only company with some big releases because Google actually had a small release, but it is big. That's because they launched their Gemini.

3-1 Flashlight, their newest AI model, which is now the fastest and most cost-effective in their lineup offering in the Gemini 3 series. So the key improvement here is speed. So if you've never used Gemini 3-1 Flashlight, it is, well, like you would think by the name, Flash and Light. It is a lightweight version, and it is freaking fast. So Google says that Gemini 3-1 Flash. light delivers 2.5 times faster time to first token than its predecessor, Gemini 2.5 flash,

and outputs 363 tokens per second up from 249. So not only is it more responsive, well, it is just straight up faster. So this model is designed for instant real-time applications like customer support, content moderation, and user interface generation, where even a two-second delay could disrupt the user experience. Also, Flashlight introduced adjustable thinking levels, allowing developers to balance, speed, and reasoning depth for different tasks from rapid classification to complex code generation. So right now, benchmarks, pretty good, right?

So Flashlight did achieve an ELO score of 1432 on Arena with standout results in scientific knowledge, multimodal tasks, and multimodal Q&A. It's also, well, much cheaper. So for enterprise use, Flashlight is priced at only 25 cents per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens, making it significantly cheaper than the smaller competitors like Claude's, Haiku, and even their previous Gemini models. So Flashlight is kind of positioned as the reflex of the Gemini lineup, handling the high volume repetitive tasks at scale, while its sibling, Gemini 3.1 Pro focuses on deep reasoning and complex problem solving. So this is one of those things, I think, as more and more people become software developers, right, which I know that might sound crazy, but even the leaders in software development right now are saying they don't write code.

Right. They talk to agents who write code. So I think that really levels the playing field of who can be a developer now, who can build software in the future. and I think we also have to think and wonder about, well, what does software even mean for the future? But regardless, I think this model, it has to be on your radar, right? The example there, customer service, right? You probably shouldn't be using Gemini 3.1 Pro or GBT54 thinking or, you know, Opus 4.6 for things like customer service.

So maybe if you implemented something at your company, you know, six months ago, a year and half ago, this might be the model to look at when it's like, is it worth updating? And, well, I think that Gemini 3.1 flash light has to at least be on the radar at only one eighth, the cost of pro. So for certain tasks, I think it is a must have. All right. Next piece of AI news. Did not see this one coming. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience.

See it today at Firefly. dot adobe.com. So open claw is making headlines from its newest fan and that is Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong as he declared open claw quote unquote ready probably the single most important release of software probably ever end quote at the Morgan Stanley technology media

and telecom conference. So pretty big praise. from the CEO of the most valuable company in the world, an open source project that hardly no one had heard of three months ago, four months ago. Now he said is probably the single most important release of software ever. So OpenClaught achieved in just three weeks the adoption that took Lennox 30 years, making it the fastest growing platform ever for any. open source project. So the platform's GitHub stars and download counts have surged recently,

outpacing Linux's long-term trajectory and setting new records for community engagement. So OpenClaas agents differ from traditional chatbots by focusing on autonomous actions rather than simple queries, allowing them to perform complex tasks such as researching, writing, and running workflows. Wong highlighted that these agents, right, it's like, okay, why is, the GPU king talking about autonomous, you know, open claw. Well, that's because the agents consume 1,000 to 1 million times more tokens than standard chat interfaces. Yeah, driving unprecedented demand for compute infrastructure.

So yeah, if you're wondering, why is the CEO of Nvidia talking about OpenClaw? Well, it's because OpenClaw gobbles up a lot of tokens. and well, what needs or what do tokens need or what do all these models that eat up the tokens need? Well, they need Nvidia's GPUs. So there's the connection. So if you don't know OpenClaw, well, what rock have you been hiding under? But the project's brief history so far includes operating under names like ClaudeBot first until they got a nice legal letter from Anthropic. Probably not a good move, Anthropic.

Then they were called MoltBot temporarily. And now they're called OpenClaught. And of course, a couple of weeks ago, Open AI kind of ACWA hired the project, right? They hired the sole developer of OpenClaw. So now it's kind of under the open AI umbrella. But Wong's comments signal a shift in AI development from information retrieval to autonomous task execution, which could reshape how businesses and individuals are using AI. And I think it's already reshaping that, right?

because we've seen even in the last few weeks, interestingly enough, right? I think perplexity's computer is a version of OpenClaw. I think Anthropic, we're going to talk about some of their releases here in the What's New and What's Next. I think they had two updates that are kind of, you know, trying to help them maybe better compete against OpenClaw. So yeah, it's been interesting so far to see not only the crazy. user adoption, but also the big companies are making shifts to make their products more

autonomous and easier to use, kind of like OpenClaw. All right. Our next piece of AI news, Open AI is reportedly developing its own code repository platform to address frequent GitHub issues according to the information. So Open AI engineers have faced multiple GitHub outages, sometimes. lasting several hours, disrupting their ability to commit or collaborate on code. So because of that, apparently Open AI might be building their own version of GitHub, which is crazy because the entire coding industry runs on GitHub and I'd say there's

really no widespread alternative. Well, maybe that could change. So the project is still in its early stages, according to reports and is expected to take several months before completion. So Open AI is considering whether to offer the platform to its customers or just keep it exclusive for internal use. So the move is a response to reliability concerns as GitHub is owned by Microsoft, a major open AI partner, but we've seen Microsoft also over the last couple of months since Open

AI's kind of transition from a nonprofit to a public benefits corporation or PBC, right? We've seen Microsoft start to incorporate. more clawed models, Microsoft investing in Anthropic. So it might seem like OpenAI is saying, okay, well, we're going to start, you know, they've obviously partnered with some other big players that are Microsoft competitors, and they might just be, well, starting their own projects that might compete with Microsoft directly. So the new platform, at least right now, aims to ensure OpenAI's engineering teams have

continuous access to their code, reducing. downtime and dependencies on external services. If OpenAI does decide to sell access to others, it could provide a new alternative for companies seeking more reliable code hosting and collaboration tools. Because here's the reality. As more and more people, I think with the recent popularization and explosion, right, I think maybe Claude Code in December, January started it. And then we have Open AI's extremely popular codex.

Right. I do think GitHub's, well, I can only assume their servers are legit melting with more and more people committing more and more often. And then when you talk about autonomous, right, autonomous coding, it's like, you know, my agents are constantly pushing things to GitHub even when I'm not in front of them telling them to do it. So I kind of understand both sides from this. I can see how Microsoft is probably struggling to scale to meet the demand. because it's unprecedented. And I can also see why Open AI might be wanting to offer a competing service. All right. In our last big piece of AI news this week, yeah, all the jobs AI might take. So Anthropic released a new study that warns AI is on track to disrupt a wide range of white collar jobs.

So according to the study, AI models like Claude are already capable of performing up to 94% of tasks in computer and math jobs, but are currently being used only for about a third of those tasks in real-world settings. So the gap between what AI can do and what it is actually doing is described as vast. With researchers predicting that as adoption increases, AI will take on more professional tasks, especially in business, finance, management, legal, and office administration roles. So the workers most at risk are not those in manual labor, but rather highly educated, well-paid professionals, such as lawyers, financial analysts, and software developers. So the study found that those in the most AI-exposed jobs are 16 percentage points more likely

to be female, earn 47% more on average, and are nearly four times as likely to hold a graduate its degree. So the report introduces the concept of observed exposure, comparing AI's technical capabilities to its actual use in the workplace, and finds that AI is barely being tapped into for what it can actually do. So for jobs requiring a physical present, such as cooks, mechanics, bartenders, AI exposure remains near zero, according to the report, with little risk of automation in the near future. The study warns of the possibility. of a great recession for white-collar workers if AI adoption accelerates, drawing parallels to the job losses seen during the 207-209 financial crisis.

Recent U.S. labor data shows a slowdown in hiring for AI-exposed fields, such as the ones mentioned in Anthropics study with a 14% drop in job-finding rates for young workers since the rise of tools like ChatGVee. though there has not been a systematic increase in unemployment yet. So I have a lot of thoughts on this study. And it's something that I've been talking about for a very long time, right? I even dubbed it this gap that they're talking about. I talked about it on our 2026 AI prediction and roadmap series.

And I also technically predicted the exposure to these kind of high income professional services two years ago. So I'm actually going to be tackling this on tomorrow's show because I think it's worth a deeper dive on this because there's a lot of findings that I don't really have time to get into in a short two or three minute recap. So for more on that show, make sure to tune in tomorrow. All right. So that's it for our big stories.

But each week we bring you what's new and what's next because there's obviously a lot more going on, right? We've been doing, well, we've been doing the everyday AI show for three years, but we've been doing our AI news show for almost two years. And two years ago, you know, there's maybe 10 stories that were consequential. Now there's like 30 to 40 each week. So we usually focus on eight to 10 big stories and then are what's new and what's next. These are, well, maybe smaller news stories, new AI features, rumors, leaks, all of that good stuff. So let's get straight into it because there's a lot. All right, ready. So Google shipped a new command line interface tool for Google workspace, which sounds technical, but it's absolutely insane. Anthropic launched

Claude Marketplace, letting Enterprise spend commitments on partner-built Claude tool. So that's modeled after AWS. Speaking of the AWS, they put a private, self-hosted open claw agents on light sale. Microsoft's SharePoint admin agent is now fully available. Anthropic released scheduled tasks for Claude Code. Yeah, remember I said they're kind of going full open claw mode. There you go. They release scheduled tasks and also a loop feature over the weekend. So, yeah, bringing the open claw features to Claude code.

According to reports, OpenAI tops $25 billion in annualized revenue. Google released Canvas in AI mode. Y'all, go check it out. If you haven't ever used Google Gemini Canvas, it's now, available in AI mode. So yeah, go use it. I love it. Open AI launched Codex Security and Research Preview, which was formerly called Ardvark.

Meta signed huge chip deals with Nvidia and AMD, boosting their AI spending. Open AI revised their Pentagon contract, banning surveillance and autonomous weapon use amid backwash from employees and just the general community. OpenAI released Codex for Windows. Although I don't have a Windows machine. I actually got one, never set it up. But a lot of people have been saying the Windows version is not quite as stable or useful as the Mac version yet. So we'll see how that pans out.

Chad GPT, here's a big one. Might sound as small but huge. So Chad GPT finally released skills in Chad GPT, but only for users on business, enterprise, EDU, teachers, and healthcare and the codex and the API. So essentially, everyone now has access to skills and Chad GPT, except free users and users on the $20 a month plus plan. Yeah, and the pro plan. I didn't even really realize this until right before this show

when I logged out of my pro plan and logged into my business plan. And I'm like, oh, skills are here. Sweet. All right. Speaking of OpenAI, they updated their prompting guide for GPT 54. We'll put that in today's newsletter. So make sure you go check it out. Quinn released their Quinn 3.5 medium models, so the popular model maker at Alibaba, but also a bunch of their leadership left. So we'll see what actually happens with Quinn in the short term after that.

Perplexity rolled out skill support for their new computer product. I've been loving computer. It sounds like Ron Burgundy. Like, I love Lamp. I love computer. The problem is the credits. heats them up. Yeah, we covered that last week if you want to go check that show. Amazon just launched Connect Health, letting businesses spot and fix contact center issues in real time.

Microsoft announced support for GPD 54 inside of co-pilot. So no big delay there for a Microsoft. It is available rolling out now. Speaking of Microsoft, they're also testing a version, essentially, of Chad GPT's pulse, which is a personalized news feed inside of co-pilot called Copilot Discover, based on your history. The U.S. Supreme Court declined hearing whether AI art generates, sorry, AI generated arts qualifies for copyright.

OpenAI rolled out support for saved prompts inside of its Atlas browser. InVedia announced that they're no longer going to be investing in OpenAI and Infropic after the companies go public, which is expected to happen later this year. Google released cinematic videos in Notebook L.M. and my gosh, they are so good. Only for ultra subscribers right now. So you've got to be on that $200 a month plan. OpenAI is reportedly working on a bidirectional audio model for better human-to-a-i voice

interactions. I really hope OpenAI updates their voice mode in Chad GPD. I hope they updates their agent mode at least to GBT-5-4. A lot of great multimodal tech that Open AI has that seems like it hasn't been updated in a while. In a White House meeting, tech giants pledged to come. cover grid upgrade costs for AI data centers in the U.S. So essentially saying they're not going to pass the electricity bill to local residents where they're building these new AI data centers.

And then last but definitely not least, small footnote, big footprint. Microsoft released five, four reasoning, their 15 billion parameter open multimodal model, balancing reasoning, accuracy and efficiency. All right. So that's it. our big AI news stories. That's our what's new and what's next. But we did start something.

All right. Last week, kind of threw this out there. Seemed like most of you liked it. So here's the problem with the show and how it's set up here at everyday AI. On Mondays, we do exactly this, right? We talk about the big news stories. And then at the end, we go over all of these bullet points like I just did. What I've learned to realize is a lot of those bullet points,

you all probably want to know more about, right? So yes, on Wednesdays, we always go hands on, but with one new AI feature, one new AI update. So we threw out this concept of doing a more hands-on kind of update on actual AI features. Right. So as an example, in those what's new and what's next, probably a lot of those smaller things are going to be the things that actually move the needle for your business.

And I can't address them all in, you know, the AI news and on our one kind of hands-on show on Wednesday. So I started to think, okay, do you guys want this, you know, going over a handful, maybe five to eight of these new features inside of Chad GPT, co-pilot, Claude, Gemini, maybe perplexity, maybe one or two others. Is it something you want? If so, let me know. I don't know. Say I always should have like a word to tell you guys to comment.

And I don't even know what I'm going to call it. How about this? Give me a name for it. If you want something, maybe it's called Friday features and we put it out on Fridays. I don't know. It's up to you. I work for you. If that's going to be helpful, leave me a comment.

If you're listening on Spotify, leave a comment there. If you're listening on the live stream, leave a comment. So yeah, we did that show last Thursday. So if you do want to go check that one out because as an example, some of those. bullet points that we talked about there at the end. The, you know, the cinema overviews inside of notebook al-LM, you know, the workspace CLI, which I think is huge. So we did that on Thursday, episode 727.

So make sure you go check that out. All right. That's a wrap. A lot happening this week. I hope that our Monday shows are helpful to put you in the driver's seat. Feel confident for the week. If you're making decisions on front end AI strategy and implementation, well, you got to know what's going on. So if this was helpful, make sure you tell someone about it and then make sure
