Annotations allow you to edit and interact with specific parts of any given website or document that you're working on.

Plugins are expanding to include functional-based plugins.

So for example, you can use a plugin pack for salespeople that comes with connectors to common tools and skills that are relevant for that function.

And Sites is maybe the most interesting one, where you can turn anything you're working on inside of Codex into a website or web app with a single click, which I think will help make websites a fundamental unit of knowledge work in a way that they're not right now.

Now, right now that's just available to business and enterprise users, but if you have access to it, you should definitely go play around with Sites.

Next up, the thing you have to pay attention to even if you don't think you care is the question of who owns AI.

The stakes in the policy discussion are getting higher as the model capability increases and we get towards IPOs.

Bernie Sanders came out with an op-ed in the New York Times this week suggesting that the government own a full half of the major AI labs.

And while they might not be getting 50%, it seems like the Trump White House is considering taking equity stakes in the big labs, meaning that the Overton window on this sort of government-company collaboration is changing very quickly.

We also got policy-related papers from both Anthropic and OpenAI this week talking about how they were seeing the early signs of recursive self-improvement in today's AI systems.

So I think the policy discourse is about to get much louder very soon.

The biggest takeaway for enterprises.

Simply put, you are now in the token efficiency business and you need to be thinking about that, A, architecturally.

In other words, things like model routing and model selection, context management and making sure people aren't wasting cycles trying to find the right context.

but also B, in supporting best practices and specifically training.

That means a smaller version of things like context management, like integrating skills and more, TLDR now is the time to build systems.

In terms of what to watch for next week, well, of course, the big thing will be the SpaceX IPO, which will be the biggest IPO in history and tell us a lot about how the market is thinking about these companies.

So there you have it, the week in AI for ridiculously busy people.

Let me know what you think about this format and maybe it'll become something that we do more often.

Appreciate you listening or watching as always.
