In this month's AI news update episode, our hosts Ather Gattami and Anders Arpteg discuss all the latest AI breakthroughs, from OpenAI's Sora 2 and Claude 4.5 to Gemini 2.5 and Grok 4 - and the massive infrastructure race behind them, including the $500 billion Stargate project and Elon Musk's Colossus 2 data center. They explore OpenAI's move toward productisation with its "Instant Checkout" feature, Microsoft's "Vibe Working", and Google's browser-integrated Gemini, before highlighting DeepMind's progress on the Navier–Stokes problem. The episode ends on an optimistic note: AI's power lies in augmenting, not replacing, human capability.
