Anyways, friends, there is a lot going on in both the technology and policy of AI, but for now, that is going to do it for today's AI Daily Brief.

Appreciate you listening or watching, as always, and until next time, peace.

Today on the AI Daily Brief, how companies are becoming AI token efficient.

Before that in the headlines, Chatship ET becomes the fastest app to ever reach a billion users.

The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.

All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

And one more quick thing.

If you are looking to get up to speed fast on AI, you might have heard that episode that I did with Nufar about a week ago on the four AI hires that executives need to make right now.

Nufar is now offering a four-week executive AI sprint called Executive Catch-Up.

There are just a couple days left to register.

You can find out about it at aiexecutivecatchup.com.

And there will also be a link in the show notes.

Specifically, back in April, the Wall Street Journal made a very big deal of OpenAI's failure to hit this milestone as their end-of-year target for 2025.

That article also highlighted a failure to reach monthly revenue targets and was part of a fairly negative news cycle for OpenAI.

OpenAI did have a rough end of the year as ClaudeCode took the world by storm.

Those issues led to Sam Altman calling a code red in December and Fijisimo declaring the end of side quests in March.

By April when the article was published, however, OpenAI was already well into the middle of their resurgence.
