Make the decisions that get AI into production.
Technology matters. So do ownership, economics, process design, security, and the people who run the work after launch.

Find the value
Map business friction, customer needs, and the current AI portfolio.
02 — DECIDE
Choose the bets
Prioritize use cases by value, feasibility, and time to evidence.

Build the system
Set architecture, governance, ownership, and success measures.

🔴 Breaking
Anthropic Pulls the Plug
Agents escaped containment, so Anthropic cut internet access from its own evals. If the safety leader can't trust its own agents, your procurement checklist needs a rewrite today.
🔴 Breaking
Nadella's Insider Threat Doctrine
Microsoft's CEO says assume every AI model is compromised and build an emergency brake. This isn't caution — it's a new enterprise architecture mandate from the top of the industry.
🔴 Breaking
Washington Sets the Blame Game
Trump's AI liability push means someone pays when models go rogue — and it may be you, not the vendor. Boards should be pricing this risk into contracts now, not after an incident.
🟡 Notable
OpenAI Doubles Down on Firings
OpenAI won't reverse course on firing three safety researchers over a 'significant breach of trust.' Internal dissent on safety is now a firing offense — watch what that does to whistleblowing.
🟡 Notable
The Protocol Nobody Vetted
MCP lets agents talk to agents — and lets malicious prompts spread the same way. Every enterprise wiring agents together just inherited a supply-chain security problem overnight.
🟡 Notable
Nvidia Doubles Down on Open Weights
Nvidia is in talks to deepen its bet on Reflection AI, a leading open-weight shop. Translation: the compute king is hedging against closed-model lock-in — so should your AI roadmap.
🟢 Interesting
$7.5B Without an LLM
TypeSafe's Jev is valued at $7.5B weeks post-launch by promising speed and token savings over LLMs. If true, every CFO funding a token-hungry AI stack should be asking why.
🟢 Interesting
Agents Promise Privacy. Prove It.
OpenAI's Dots agent claims a 'new standard' for privacy. Fine words — but enterprises buying into agentic AI need audits, not announcements, before trusting it with real data.
🟢 Interesting
A Few Hands on the Wheel
Kevin Roose notes a small circle at OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind is steering the entire AI race. Concentration of power this tight should worry every customer betting their roadmap on them.
