EP 185 : Meta's OpenAI Poach! Google's On-Device AI Power, Claude's Real Use & Napster's Web Vision.
28 Jun 2025
Welcome to AI Brief E185! In this packed episode, we dive into the latest groundbreaking developments shaping the AI landscape. Discover how Meta has significantly strengthened its superintelligence team by successfully recruiting four key OpenAI researchers, including foundational contributors to OpenAI's o1 reasoning model and the trio who established its Zurich operations. We then explore Google's impressive launch of Gemma 3n, a new family of open AI models designed to bring powerful multimodal capabilities directly to mobile and consumer edge devices, enabling real-time object recognition, scene understanding, and multi-language translation. We also look at Anthropic's surprising research findings on how Claude is actually used for emotional support, revealing that widespread media narratives about AI romance and dependency are far less common than reported, with most interactions focused on practical concerns. Plus, get insights into HeyGen's new "Creative Operating System" that can transform your ideas into complete videos with AI actors and scripts, and learn about Napster's ambitious plans to reshape the web with truly agentic AI companions and immersive holographic interactions. Stay informed with "Everything else in AI today," including updates from OpenAI and DeepSeek, and explore "Today's Trending AI Tools" like Higgsfield Soul for photo realism, AlphaGenome for DNA analysis, and Readdy for AI-powered website building.
