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.
Most AI tools at work don't know anything about you.
Every time you're stuck re-explaining your projects, your team, what actually matters.
Slack just fix that.
The all-new Slackbot is a personal AI agent built into Slack and it starts with your context, your messages,
files and channels, translation, and AI that already knows how you work.
Check it out at Slack.com.
This week kind of seemed like upside down week in AI.
I mean, let's look at the headlines.
Microsoft is starting a new company with billions of dollars and thousands of employees.
Anthropic is going to start making drugs.
The world's most powerful AI model will no longer be available via subscription in a few days.
And maybe even a weirder one.
Open AI is reportedly considering giving up up to 5% inequity to the federal government.
Yeah, let's take some time to sort out this week's AI news and see if we can't enter this week standing right side up.
Let's get into it.
Welcome to Everyday AI.
If you're new here, my name's Jordan Wilson and while we do this every day, this is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter,
helping everyday business leaders like you and me keep up with the AI Madden.
because yeah, sometimes it seems like we're flipped upside down.
I help you every day make sense of it and help you make smart decisions to grow your
company and career.
So it starts here with the unedited, unscripted, live stream and podcast.
But please make sure if you haven't already to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or
Spotify and go to our website at your everydayaI.com, sign up for the free daily newsletter.
We're going to be recapping the highlights from today's show and a whole lot more.
So let's get into it a ton to cover.
So let's start with Microsoft.
Yes, Microsoft started a new company as they invested $2.5 billion in a new AI client
services company called New Frontier Company.
Yeah.
So Microsoft Frontier Company, sorry, is the exact name.
So Microsoft making a major push to help businesses adopt AI.
with that $2.5 billion investment in the new group called Microsoft Frontier Company.
So Microsoft will also embed 6,000 employees directly with clients to support AI adoption,
using the model now very commonly known as forward deployed engineering or FTEs.
We've seen OpenAI and Empropic and Google make similar plays,
but Microsoft taking it kind of almost a step further with a 2.5,
billion commitment of its own and 6,000 employees.
So the new division brings together existing Microsoft engineers, technical consultants,
support staff, and salespeople with deep industry experience.
So the move comes just days after Amazon announced a $1 billion initiative for similar AI support
services, highlighting the fierce competition among tech giants to lead in AI business solutions.
Yeah, weird.
Everyone's becoming a consultant now.
So Microsoft's approach aims to help clients navigate tough decisions such as which AI models to use.
Like do you use OpenAI or Anthropics models?
Well, Microsoft is a big investor in each.
So maybe that's a leg up that the new company, Microsoft Frontier Company will pitch when they're like,
hey, you should hire us to help you use AI versus hiring Open AI or Infropics.
deployment companies because we use all of their models. So the company says its platform supports
more AI models and integrations than competitors like Palantir, which popularize the forward
deploy engineering role in the tech world before all the AI or the large language model companies,
I guess, got into the race. Microsoft has invested tens of billions of dollars in data centers
for generative AI and offers obviously many AI power tools and solutions from, you know,
know, the dozens of, you know, co-pilot offerings across their tech stack.
But Microsoft so far, their stock is down a bit this year.
They're actually down about 20% year to date, the biggest drop among the major tech companies,
partly due to concerns that AI could disrupt established software markets.
So the company did, though, generate about $2 billion in revenue from Enterprise and Partner
services last quarter up 2.5% from a year earlier. So yeah, this one not necessarily surprising
that Microsoft is starting its own deployment company, but maybe surprising that they committed
$2.5 billion and 6,000 employees, especially since Microsoft is in the middle of a lot of cuts, right?
They've cut thousands of employees and kind of pushing the early retirement portion as well.
So it's one of those things that I think that every single big company, you know, that is building any type of AI will have these forward deployed engineers because what we've seen more than anything else, I think especially it's become very clear over the last year that even companies that are usually somewhat agile and can adopt to do digital technologies.
Well, hardly no company out there has been able to close the capability.
gap between what AI models can actually do and what the majority of their employees are
actually using it for, right, which is why huge companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google,
Amazon, right?
Everyone, they're now coming up with these roles where their employees go in work at these
other companies and help them essentially use their tools.
So it's something we'll probably do a deeper dive later, like what does an FTE role look
like, right? What are these companies coming in to do? Because I know not every single, you know,
listener out there is going to be able to at their enterprise, bring in, you know, Microsoft FDE
or an open AI or anthropic FTE into their organization. So we'll probably unpack later what that
actually looks like. All right. Speaking of still living in upside down world,
Anthropic is going to make drugs now. Yeah. It's apparently a thing.
So Anthropic has announced Claude Science, an AI workbench designed to streamline scientific research by integrating fragmented tools and data sets into a single environment.
So yeah, they're making waves with the new Claude Science, trying to make their splash in the pharma sectors as they launch into with Claude Science as they launch into drug discovery.
So the new Claude Science platform generates figures and visuals aiming to help scientists accelerate the pace of discovery and healthcare innovation.
Anthropic, though, is already a leading provider of coding tools and AI models, right?
We all know that, with a strong presence among biotech and pharma customers.
So at a recent briefing event called AI, the briefing, AI for science, Anthropic revealed plans to help develop drugs,
faster, focusing on treatments for neglected diseases. So this marks one of the most direct attempts
by a major AI company to move in drug development rather than just selling AI to other drug makers.
So the announcement puts Anthropic in a unique position as it will both be a software provider
and a potential competitor to its pharma clients. And yeah, you're going to want to stick around
for this piece later when we talk about Mythos and Fable Five kind of coming back.
and the data retention policy because I think it's going to come into play now that we see
companies like Anthropic spinning up completely new companies and maybe competing against
others that they have access to their data. So Anthropic joins a growing race that includes
AI first drug companies like Encelico, Google DeepMines, isomorphic labs, and establish
pharma giants building or buying their own AI tools. So Anthropic has not provided detailed
information yet about its drug development goals or what it will do if it discovers promising
candidates. But they did say, along with this new announcement with Claude Science, that they
are going to be working in drug developments. All right. More and more, more and more big tech
companies doing new things. So yes, first, Microsoft with their new Microsoft frontier company,
Anthropic, going to be trying to discover drugs.
And now meta is a Neo Cloud.
They're selling compute.
All right.
So meta platforms is launching their own subsidiary,
called Meta Compute, a new cloud infrastructure business that will sell the
company's access AI computing capacity to outside customers.
So the move positions meta as a direct competitor to Amazon with their AWS, Amazon
Web Services, Microsoft's Azure and Google Cloud, marking a major shift.
to be on meta's traditional focus on consumer apps and digital advertising.
So meta's stock did close up about 6% late last week, but still down a little bit month
over month and year over year. So the company aims to turn its significant investment in AI
data centers into a new in what they hope, a potentially high margin revenue stream by
targeting enterprise technology budgets. So the success of MetaCube
will depend on how quickly the company can attract paying cloud customers and whether this new business offsets the heavy capital spending on AI infrastructure.
So Metacompute represents the company's clearest attempt yet to monetize its multi-gigawatt AI infrastructure,
which has so far mainly powered internal products like ads and recommendations.
And for those customers, maybe that are using Meta's new Muse Spark model,
haven't really met them yet.
But entering the cloud market puts meta in direct competition with established players
and also raises questions about how existing cloud providers and AI chip suppliers
will respond to a new large scale entrant.
So this one, when you look at it now, maybe not super surprising.
Meta has been one of the leaders in building out infrastructure for AI, right?
They've started, along with probably, you know, X formerly known as Twitter, right?
So all of, well, now I think they're technically known as SpaceX, right?
It's all of Elon Musk's companies combining into one.
I think they've been the leader in getting new, you know, these gigawatt compute factories up and running.
But meta is definitely one of the big names, right?
And being able to essentially churn out these large data centers, they obviously were,
using them before to power, you know, the meta networks.
So now when they're trying to use this for their own models, well, kind of the chatter and
some of the anonymous reporting is like, well, yeah, this makes sense for meta because they
built out all of this infrastructure, right?
All of this tremendous cap X spend, right?
Billions of dollars buying all these, you know, buying, building all these factories and
bringing all this compute online.
And well, people are saying, well, yeah, meta is selling it now because they're not using it.
Right.
That's the, the allegations anyways is that meta is getting into this business as well, because
they built up all of this.
You know, it's kind of like the supply and the demand.
They built the supply, assuming that their models, right, whether externally people using
the new meta muse model, which I actually think is a pretty good model.
I know people kind of have poo-pooed on it.
I think it's, you know, pretty good.
And we'll see what Alexander Wang and Zuckerberg and crew bring out with the next meta models.
But regardless, there's not many companies that are sitting there saying, hey, we have a ton of extra compute.
Let's build it.
Surprisingly, or let's sell it.
Surprisingly enough, right?
The other company that did it successfully, albeit is, you know, space X slash X slash rock slash Elon Musk's companies.
Right.
And you can make the same argument for them that they didn't really have the demand.
they thought everyone's going to be using GROC.
Turns out not a lot of people are,
but they've successfully, very successfully, by the way,
space X has been putting out all of these, you know,
longer term partnerships where they're selling compute.
So now meta looks like is hoping to take a page out of Space X's or X's book
when maybe they were preparing for more demand for their AI models.
It wasn't there.
And then they quickly sold it or rented it out to companies.
Well, like Anthropic.
All right.
So here's an interesting one that I didn't think was going to make a splash on this
week's AI news, but looking at its potential long-term ramifications, I think this new move
from Cloudflare definitely, you know, requires us to spend a little bit of time on it.
So here's what's new.
Cloudflare has announced that they are blocking some AI crawlers on ad-supported pages,
which could reshape how well humans and AI bots access the web.
So starting in September, Cloudflare will default to blocking AI training
and agent crawlers on ad-supported pages while still allowing search crawlers.
And that's a shift that could affect a large share of the web because, well, Cloudflare essentially
runs like half of the internet.
So the key change is that Cloudflare will judge crawlers by one.
but they do, not just who they are,
meaning that mixed-use crawlers that handle both search and AI training
could be blocked from training access if publishers choose that setting.
Here's why that's important.
Well, Cloudflare says that these mixed-use crawlers account for about 36% of crawler activities.
So you're like, okay, what's these crawlers?
Why do they impact me?
Well, the big one is Googlebot, you know, how your company probably has gotten,
over the years a lot of business, a lot of visibility from Google search.
Yeah.
So now a lot of publishers may just go click that block button.
And well, maybe it's a good thing.
It might be a bad thing.
That's not for us to determine here on this news recap show.
But those bots tied to companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft may now face new limits
when their search and training functions overlap.
So for publishers, the move creates new leverage because,
public content is no longer treated as automatically free training material for these big AI companies,
especially on pages designed to earn revenue from human readers through ads. So according to reports,
Cloudflare is moving from a pay per crawl marketplace toward a pay per use model using the new
X402 standard, an open payment protocol reportedly backed by Cloudflare, Stripe, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
So the risk is that AI answers could start favoring large publishers with these licensing deals,
making smaller blogs, local news sites, and niche experts harder to find,
which matters for anyone building a career or company around online visibility.
So this one, another one to keep an eye on, right?
A lot of times we're not paying much attention to the plumbing, right, to the AI plumbing,
you know, the data centers, but also things.
like this, right? I think we become overly, maybe overly reliant on search inside of AI, right?
So when you go and you use Chad GBT or Kod or Klaude or Klaude or Google Gemini, etc,
right? Almost every single query, whether you see it or not, is pulling from the web.
So there's obviously been a lot of uproar in the publishing community over the past two to three years,
as more and more of that direct traffic is now just kind of ingested inside of these answers
that come inside of these chatbots.
And well, what does that actually mean?
Well, it means a lot of things because chances are you might want someone to land on your page
and become your customer.
Or in the case in this example of what Cloudflare is kind of talking about here,
well, maybe you get a little penny from Google AdSense or something like that, you know,
for every certain number of users that end up on your page.
So for those people who are more, you know, trying to draw, you know,
readers in the masses to come to their website and they just get paid by putting ads
on their website, right?
They've obviously been hit very hard as well by AI, by big AI companies,
essentially consuming all of this information and then just more or less kind of
displaying a, I guess, collection of the answers, right, inside of the AI chatbot.
So this one from Cloudflare definitely one to keep an eye on.
All right, let's take a quick break for a word from our partners.
Here's what most AI tools still can't do.
Work outside their own little box.
The all new Slackbot just change that.
It's your AI teammate inside Slack and now it can read, write, and act across the other apps your team already uses.
No more tool switching.
No more re-explaining yourself every time you open a new tab.
One ops team at Engine says the summary feature alone saves them 15 to 20 minutes a use.
See what Slackbot can do at Slack.com.
All right.
Now we've got a lot of news when it comes to AI models and the U.S. government.
Yeah, we're going to get to Fable and Mythos and even something with OpenAI,
maybe partnering with the federal government.
But first, we have some new news and developments when it comes to,
this new voluntary model standards as part of President Trump's executive orders on AI models.
So the U.S. government is moving closer to announcing new voluntary standards for AI models,
a step aimed at tightening oversight and addressing national security concerns.
So according to reports, the U.S. is in advanced talks with leading AI companies to create voluntary standards for releasing new AI models,
with an announcement expected as soon as this week.
So the new standards would set clear benchmarks for advanced AI models,
establish release timelines, and clarify who can access these technologies both in the U.S. and internationally.
National security is a driving concern with Washington seeking to prevent misuse of powerful American AI
by military intelligence services in China, Russia, and other countries of concern.
So in June, President Donald Trump issued an executive order requiring federal agencies to work with top AI developers and AI labs to test advanced models before public release and to draft new standards for their deployment.
Google has been actively involved in discussions with the government, according to reports, particularly regarding the release of advanced coding models with more sophisticated capabilities.
So the U.S. Commerce Department recently lifted export controls on entropics,
fable, and mythos models, just weeks after suspending them due to national security concerns.
Then we heard from OpenAI when they announced their GPT 5.6 about a week and a half ago
said that they were doing this tiered release.
They weren't releasing it to the public, and they were only releasing it to trusted testers
that had been essentially vetted by the government or approved between OpenAI, the testers,
and the government.
So both OpenAI and Anthropic are preparing for IPOs, which makes this news with the government
extremely interesting and one to watch, making government oversight and standards especially
relevant for their business strategies.
And then these voluntary standards could impact how quickly new AI tools reach businesses,
developers, and the public potentially slowing releases, but increasing,
safety and transparency.
So this is what we all knew was going to be coming, right?
The debacle between Anthropic and the U.S. government obviously was pre, right,
we knew something like that was going to happen.
Anthropic and the U.S. government had been going tit for tat since, like, I don't know,
February.
So we knew when, you know, Anthropic spent a couple of months hyping up how dangerous, you know,
their mythos model was and it was a cyber weapon and they were begging for you know uh government
involvement essentially right we knew that that was going to happen but this is a new development
that we see that the uh the companies and the u.s government might be close to announcing something
this week on a set of actual standards because one thing that anthropic responded to uh you know
when they announced uh and released mythos in fable on a Friday and then by
the weekend, it was essentially pulled, right? So this model was, quote, unquote, out in the public for like two or three days. It was pulled. And, you know, it seemed like there was not going to be a good way to have these set of rules and safeguards that every single company would have to play by, right? According to reports, essentially, we heard it was Amazon CEO that ultimately flagged this to the U.S. government and said, hey,
you know, our team here at Amazon found this, this jailbreak or this vulnerability in the
mythos model. They told that to the U.S. government. And then the U.S. government essentially said,
all right, well, you've got to pull it immediately, Anthropic, right? And infraptic didn't really
have a way to do this. They didn't have a process to go through to appeal it. So this is good news.
I think for all AI companies, especially here in the U.S. Yes, we were supposed to have, you know,
new models from Open AI and Google that were supposed to land in June.
Things have been delayed.
But I think ultimately a couple of weeks of delays for ultimately a more secure,
more, you know, strictly vetted AI is probably for the benefit of all of us.
So this is one of those things.
Hey, a couple of weeks of patience and getting something set up with the government,
you know, even though you don't want to go into this safety.
of sovereign AI, it's probably for the best versus just having all of these one-off reactions.
Because if your business, as an example, let's just say your business shut down for a day
and said, all right, we're reworking our entire organization around mythos.
And then mythos drops, right?
And it was gone for 19 days, right?
19 days.
If your company did that, you may have been kind of screwed, right?
I'm sure most companies didn't do that.
But that's just an example on why I think we need this set of streamlined safeguards and accountability between the U.S. government and the AI companies.
All right. Speaking of that, yeah, the other news is well, Fable 5 is now back.
It's actually back. So Anthropic has reinstated its advanced Fable 5 model after a 19-day global suspension.
And they did add some kind of aggressive.
new cybersecurity classifiers to address the U.S. government concerns about that jailbreak
exploit that I just talk about. So Anthropics says the new classifier blocks over 99% of the
previously reported exploit attempts, but it is also so strict that it frequently misidentifies
harmless software development, coding, and even simple personal biology-related prompts as security
risks. So when a prompt triggers a new safety filter, Anthropics says the system automatically
reroutes the task to Claude Opus 4.8 instead of Fable 5 or Mythos 5, whatever you may be using,
and then notifies the user. That's good. It actually notifies them, leading to a noticeable increase
in false positives for regular users. So that is, I guess, the good news is that after a 19-day delay,
Mythos 5 and Fable 5, which is essentially Mythos 5 with guardrails, are back.
But here's the downside.
It's not truly back for most people.
So yeah, look at your watch.
It's going to be gone for most users tomorrow again.
That's because Anthropic is not going to include Fable 5 and Mythos 5 wasn't available anyways,
but Fable 5 had been available if you were a paid.
subscriber. So that's no longer the case. So after Tuesday, tomorrow, Anthropic says that Fable 5
access will only be if you are paying those very expensive API prices. They did hint and say,
maybe we'll bring it back in the future if we have enough computers. But the only promise is that
it's going to be gone in a matter of hours. So Anthropic says the restriction is due to the model's
high computational demands and the current infrastructure limits.
And they do hope that they might be able to restore broader access once capacity improves.
So before you go and rush out and, you know, have your company use all the limits you can in the
next day or two.
It is important to remind people that the updated Fable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 explicitly
overrides zero data retention.
So yeah, you know, that whole ZDR thing that makes, uh, anything.
in enterprise possible, yeah, that's out the window. Because all out, all inputs in outputs
in Fable 5 in Mythos 5 are stored for at least 30 days, even for those enterprise clients
who previously had strict privacy guarantees. So if a user's prompt is flagged as a potential
policy violation, which we've seen can be literally anything, the data can be held for up to
two years for human review and then automated safety scoring data may be stored
for up to seven years to monitor abuse patterns according to, well, Anthropics privacy policy.
So that's the reason that big enterprises like Microsoft banned internal use. Yes, Microsoft,
the company that is one of Anthropics largest investors and makes a ton of money selling Anthropics
AI through their systems, banned internal use of mythos and fable because you can't get away
with them taking your data. There's no way around it. All right. And yes, that is a,
first for enterprise AI has never happened before. So they became the first frontier AI provider to
essentially say, hey, yeah, even if you're an enterprise company, paying us millions of dollars. Yeah,
we're going to keep your data. So just keep that in mind before you say, oh, my gosh, you know,
we have this fable thing for another 30 some hours. Let's go out and dump our company's
entire code base or remember how Anthropic is, well, trying to create, go down the drug discovery.
route. Maybe you're a pharma company and saying, hey, we pay all this money for, you know,
enterprise subscriptions to Anthropic. We should all go, you know, use our, our Fable 5 and see what
we can cook up. Yeah, you might want to pause on that. At least talk to your legal and your IT.
And I don't know, maybe take a page on a Microsoft book and don't do it. All right. Last but not
least, maybe the ultimate curveball in our upside down AI week. Open AI is reportedly
considering giving the U.S. government a 5% stake in the company. So according to reports,
OpenAI is in early discussions to offer the U.S. government a 5% stake in the company. So the talks
are part of efforts by major AI firms to improve relations with the Trump administration
as regulatory pressure on the industry increases, according to reports. So Open AI CEO,
Sam Altman is advocating for the U.S. public.
to have a financial stake in the company, aiming to share the economic benefits of AI development
more broadly. So the proposal could see other leading U.S. companies, including Anthropic,
Google, and META, asked to give similar stakes to the government, though the participation is not
confirmed. And yeah, reports said that at least Anthropic and the U.S. government had not yet
had these similar talks as OpenAI and the U.S. government have.
So the plan is actually inspired by the Alaska Permanent Fund, which invests oil revenue for public benefits and could require an act of Congress to implement.
So the discussions are right now being described as conceptual and at an early stage with no formal agreement yet in place.
So the move comes as Washington intensifies oversight of AI companies highlighted by the obvious anthropic recent suspension of.
its latest model due to those national security concerns.
So both Open AI and Anthropic have previously floated the idea of a public or sovereign
wealth fund to distribute AI generated wealth to citizens.
Open AI and Anthropic are also both obviously preparing to go public.
And it is estimated that both companies are going to come in valued at more than a trillion
dollars at their market cap.
So Altman has reportedly discussed the idea with President Trump,
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessens, and Senator Bernie Sanders, who had proposed a sovereign wealth fund financed by a one-time 50% tax on leading AI companies.
So, yeah, definitely all the big companies this week, either starting new companies going in completely different directions or apparently talking with the federal government to give
the American people a small slice of the AI pie? I don't know. We'll have to find out and see.
But that was a lot. But we always have our little roundup at the end where we go over
what's new and what's next. So some of these are maybe big stories that any other week might
have made our top AI news list. Others are some rumors, some things around the corner. But let's
get to it. Here we go. Our bullet point, what's new and what's next. So
Anthropic released Sonnet 5 as the default clawed model offering near Opus performance for all users.
Yeah, this didn't even make our top story because Sonnet 5, I personally like it.
But it's not really even a top three Anthropic model right now.
So I don't even think it's actually that big of a story, although I think it's actually a really good model.
Next, OpenClaw has landed on iPhone and Android.
A new report says OpenAI has found a way to cut in.
costs in half. And if that's true, that is a monumental deal. Apple has added MCP server to Safari,
enable a direct AI agent web debugging and preview. That's big. Meta is reportedly cooking up a new
model, which they've codenamed watermelon. And it allegedly matches GPD 5.5 results. And it uses
10 times of Muses compute. So yeah, their last model was meta muse's previous.
co-named avocado. So we'll see if this is their medium size or maybe their large size Muse
model in watermelon. Next, a report says that Alibaba banned the use of Claude Code and ordered
employees to remove Claude models over security concerns. We're not sure if that is data
retention or something else. A new report says Anthropic is working with Samsung to make its
own custom AI chips after OpenAI and Broadcom launch the Halapeno chip.
The White House is set to announce a new AI model and standards, which we just talked about.
OpenAI teased a codex-related keyboard device with popular hardware maker work louder.
The U.S. House passed the Kids Act, adding a new online safety rules for social media and AI.
It's not a law yet because it still needs the Senate in presidential approval.
