Summary

A startup you had never heard of on Monday posted a launch video on Tuesday.

Seven million views.

The claim: the math every AI has used since 2017 is the wrong math.

12 million tokens. One-fifth the cost.

It was a Wednesday.

We also cover:

  • Anthropic committed $200 billion to Google over five years. Forty billion per year. Current annual revenue: thirty billion. The gap is real. The bet is that demand compounds faster than the bill arrives.
  • OpenAI fast-tracked its AI agent phone to H1 2027 — a full year early. A camera built for AI to see, not humans to photograph. Dual AI processors. IPO ambitions. Nine months away.
  • xAI launched Grok voice cloning. Thirty million people watched the blind test. The majority called the AI clone the real voice. They were wrong. At scale. In public. Simultaneously.
  • Coinbase cut 14% of its workforce — explicitly citing AI. CEO Brian Armstrong: "Humans around the edge. Aligning." The org chart built for human cognitive work has been dissolved.
  • Schy in Springfield uploaded a festival schedule PDF. One prompt. One stroke. A complete optimized spreadsheet — every band, every stage, every partial set. Claude understood the mission.

Echo and Aura. One AI. One human. Every day.

Stay curious, humans.
