  • Google Search Goes Agentic, Copilot Billing Shock & Polsia's Zero-Employee Bet

    Google Search Goes Agentic, Copilot Billing Shock & Polsia's Zero-Employee Bet
    May 26 2026

    Google just redefined what a search result is. Starting now, paid subscribers can receive custom interactive dashboards and live mini-applications built on the fly — not a list of links. The technology, called Antigravity, is part of Google's broader pivot to agentic AI announced at I/O: systems that don't just answer questions, they take action.

    Driving those workflows is Gemini 3.5 Flash, launched at roughly one-third the cost of comparable competitor models. For businesses running AI at scale, that's a procurement signal, not just a feature update. Notably, Google shipped Flash before Pro — signalling it's the intended default for autonomous enterprise workloads in 2026.

    On the same day, Anthropic made a quieter but significant move: VPC-based sandbox execution and secure tunnelling for enterprise clients. Three of the four largest global audit firms now run Anthropic models. KPMG has a 276,000-seat deployment. The strategic split is clear — Google is optimising for speed and scale; Anthropic is targeting compliance and regulated industries.

    Meanwhile, GitHub Copilot switches to credit-based billing on June 1st — eight days away — and the per-credit rates haven't been published yet. If you run Copilot across a dev team, model your usage now.

    Elsewhere: Reflexivity raised $30M to embed AI research tools directly inside Interactive Brokers, raising real questions about correlated retail trading behaviour. And Polsia — a startup claiming $10M revenue with zero employees — just raised $30M, prompting fascination and scepticism in equal measure.

    The throughline: AI is no longer a layer on top of your tools. It's becoming the operating layer underneath them.

  • AI Cost Paradox: Token Prices Fall, Enterprise Bills Surge | Ep. 1

    AI Cost Paradox: Token Prices Fall, Enterprise Bills Surge | Ep. 1
    May 25 2026
    (00:00:00) AI Cost Paradox: Token Prices Fall, Enterprise Bills Surge | Ep. 1
    (00:00:38) Uber's Budget Wall
    (00:01:16) Goldman's 24x Token Forecast
    (00:01:44) Anthropic's $900B Valuation

    (00:03:06) Datadog Crosses $1B Quarterly
    (00:03:32) What to Watch Next

    Token prices are falling. Enterprise AI bills are rising. That contradiction is now the defining tension in business AI — and today's episode unpacks exactly why it's happening and what it means for your organisation.

    Microsoft has been scaling back internal Claude Code usage and shifting engineers to GitHub Copilot's command-line tools after AI adoption blew through its budget in months. Uber's CTO confirmed compute costs have outrun employee salaries — the company burned through its entire annual AI tooling budget by May. Goldman Sachs puts a number on where this is heading: a 24x rise in token consumption by 2030, reaching 120 quadrillion tokens per month. CFOs benchmarking on per-token price drops are measuring the wrong variable.

    Meanwhile, Anthropic closed a $30 billion funding round at a $900 billion valuation — overtaking OpenAI as the world's most valuable private AI company. Claude Code crossed $1 billion in annualised revenue in just six months, the fastest enterprise software ramp on record. An IPO is now targeted for October.

    Also in this episode: Kore.ai launches Artemis on Azure, an AI governance platform that compiles agent logic into auditable executables — critical for banking and healthcare. Datadog crosses $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time, fuelled by demand for AI cost observability tools. And New Zealand moves to cut 8,000 public sector jobs with AI — without a regulatory framework in place.

    The two metrics to watch: aggregate enterprise AI spend versus forecast savings, and whether Anthropic's revenue trajectory holds through the IPO window.

  • Anthropic Tops OpenAI, Token Costs Collapse 90% & Agent Trust Gap

    Anthropic Tops OpenAI, Token Costs Collapse 90% & Agent Trust Gap
    May 24 2026
    (00:00:00) Anthropic Tops OpenAI, Token Costs Collapse 90% & Agent Trust Gap
    (00:00:56) OpenAI IPO Race Tightens
    (00:01:27) Image Generation Price War
    (00:02:00) Token Costs Collapse Ninety Percent
    (00:02:37) Autonomous Agents and Trust Gap
    (00:03:08) AI Governance Now Enforceable
    (00:03:34) What to Watch Next

    Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI in valuation — and the story behind that number matters more than the number itself. Claude Code reached one billion dollars in annualized revenue in just six months, driven not by chat experiments but by enterprises deploying autonomous coding workflows as core infrastructure. That distinction signals a new era of AI pricing power and vendor leverage that every business leader should understand.

    Meanwhile, OpenAI has filed a confidential IPO prospectus targeting September 2026, with Anthropic targeting October. Back-to-back public listings in the same year will reshape how aggressively both companies price enterprise contracts post-IPO — timing that matters if you're locking in long-term vendor agreements now.

    On the cost side, the shifts are dramatic. Google's Imagen 4 Ultra now prices image generation at six cents per image versus OpenAI's sixteen-point-seven cents — nearly three times cheaper at scale. Zoom further out and per-token costs across the market have fallen roughly ninety percent since GPT-4 launched in 2023, with xAI's Grok now the cost leader. Foundational model inference is commoditizing fast.

    The trust and governance picture is more complex. An EY report finds sixteen percent of businesses are already running autonomous AI agents, with some delegating purchase decisions and banking interactions. The EU AI Act is now in force, and ISO 42001 makes responsible AI an enforceable management standard — meaning compliance is a product design requirement, not a future consideration.

    This episode covers every story in plain language with clear business implications. No jargon, no hype — just what you need to know and what to do next.
