Last week was not as AI-hectic as the weeks before, but then the bar is high.
My top 3 picks for this week:
- Sam Altman visits India and changes his tune, my take on what that means;
- The ChatGPT open Search accelerates the process of the Web being organised around AI rather than around Search, Google‘s quietly impressive Gemini Flash 2 substantiates that argument; and,
- The backlash against DeepSeek AI begins both from a technical and regulatory angle.
