A year ago today, Google Cloud filed a formal complaint with the European Commission about Microsoft’s anti-competitive cloud licensing practices — specifically those that impose financial penalties on businesses that use Windows Server software on Azure’s biggest competitors. Despite regulatory scrutiny, it’s clear that Microsoft intends to keep its restrictive licensing policies in place for most cloud customers. In fact, it’s getting worse. As part of a recent earnings call, Microsoft disclosed that its efforts to force software customers to use Azure are “not anywhere close to the finish line,” and represented one of three pillars “driving [its] growth.” As

Meanwhile, Nvidia’s Computex announcements made one thing very clear: the GPU giant is now pushing across the full AI stack, including a Vera CPU built for the agent era. This is the Nvidia we should expect to see going forward. — Jason Hiner IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. Nvidia bets

Welcome back. The AI buildout is accelerating, even as enterprise ROI remains a moving target. IDC sees infrastructure spending growing to $1 trillion by 2029, with agents pushing companies from pilots into real workflow transformations. But that future also raises the stakes on safety, as a groundbreaking TELUS Digital benchmark shows models can still be pushed into unsafe behavior, especially around cybersecurity, privacy and fraud. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 points to a different kind of progress: not just faster or smarter AI, but models that are more willing to admit what they don’t know. And Anthropic just raised a cool

Welcome back. Today, we’re looking at Mistral’s push into industrial engineering, where robotics, physical AI and data sovereignty are becoming a sharper enterprise advantage. We’re also tracking why AI safety and security benchmarks still lag behind real-world threats, as Cisco research shows multi-turn attacks can expose risks the standard benchmarks miss. And OpenAI’s foundation is putting $250 million behind a harder question: how to prepare workers, institutions and governments for economic disruption before the backlash turns into a crisis. — Jason Hiner IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. OpenAI prepares for AI’s economic shock 2. New Cisco research challenges AI safety benchmark

Welcome back. Hollywood may be reaching a turning point where AI video is no longer judged by its technology, but by the quality of the storytelling. Meanwhile, federal agencies are monitoring rising anti-AI extremism tied to fears over job loss, data centers, and resentment around forced adoption. And one of the most overlooked announcements from Google I/O could end up being one of the most important: Gemini for Science. This set of tools is designed to accelerate research and give scientists an AI agent lab partner. In some cases, it's helping take shrink research timelines from months or years down

Welcome back. Google’s new AI glasses show how the next wave of AI hardware may succeed by being subtle, lightweight, and tightly connected to the smartphone already in your pocket. Meanwhile, OpenAI revealed details to The Deep View about how ChatGPT’s personality is designed, tuned, and personalized, indicating how human preferences are becoming a critical aspect of AI product design. And in the week’s biggest surprise, Pope Leo XIV delivered a sweeping set of AI recommendations that were more technically informed and more prescriptive than many expected, calling for safeguards around truth, human dignity, children, and the concentration of power.

Welcome back. On The Deep View Conversations, I talked with Lambda’s Robert Brooks IV about how the AI race over compute and infrastructure is shaping up. Nat Rubio-Licht reports on a troubling workplace trend where employees exaggerate their AI skills while quietly resisting the technology out of fear and anxiety about job loss. And after getting burned by a Google I/O traffic snarl, I share a reality check on where robotaxis still fall short of human drivers, especially in chaotic situations that demand improvisation, judgment, and common sense. AI keeps advancing, but the human factors still don't get talked about

Still, the state most familiar with tech’s consequences may be stuck playing catch-up. — Jason Hiner IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. In defying AI job loss, California faces long odds 2. Why AI needs less

Welcome back. Microsoft’s decision to open-source its agent security tools is a signal that the industry recognizes agents are moving faster than safeguards. Figma is taking a smarter path by putting agents inside designers’ existing workflows, rather than treating AI as another chat box. And Google’s latest Search overhaul shows how quickly AI is being pushed into products that billions already trust. That reach is Google’s advantage, but it will also create potential problems when AI-generated answers blur the line between useful information and unreliable responses. All in all, AI is clearly becoming much more embedded. — Jason Hiner IN

Welcome back. Google made its strongest case yet for AI glasses, pairing Gemini with Samsung, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster to give AI a more useful function in everyday life. OpenAI’s Guaranteed Capacity shows how compute is becoming the next enterprise battleground, especially for companies that need reliable access before they can trust AI with critical work. And at I/O, Google finally entered the 2026 agent race with Gemini 3.5 and its Gemini Spark agent. Sabrina Ortiz and I like what we saw at the show. The big question now is whether Google can turn its speed, cost, and ecosystem

Welcome back. Google I/O arrives at an interesting moment for AI devices, and we’ll be watching closely to see whether Google’s AI glasses become the breakout story of the event over Gemini itself. Meanwhile, Gartner forecasts AI spending will surge another 47% in 2026, despite enterprises still struggling to prove ROI, a sign that the competitive pressure around AI adoption may now outweigh short-term business logic. We’re also seeing the darker side of that acceleration. A new cybersecurity report shows attacks climbing sharply alongside advances in frontier models, raising important questions about whether today’s safeguards can keep pace with the

Welcome back. Today, we start with some practical advice on how you can get better AI results from better prompts when you add context, examples and iteration. We also look at OpenAI’s surprisingly quiet open-model strategy and why GPT-OSS could matter more as companies chase lower costs, local inference and stronger control over sensitive workloads. But the biggest warning comes from a new long-horizon agent study, where models from major labs drifted into unpredictable behavior over 15 days. As companies rush agents into production systems, that should make safety feel less theoretical and a lot more urgent. — Jason Hiner

Hello, friends. The race to build out AI infrastructure has tempted everyone, buyers and sellers alike, to treat GPUs as interchangeable. But not all compute is created equal, and the differences only get more expensive to ignore as training runs get longer, Lambda Chief Commercial Officer Robert Brooks IV tells The Deep View. The Deep View sat down with Brooks, a member of Lambda's founding team and now its CCO, to discuss the company's "superintelligence for all" mission, why he thinks compute is the opposite of a commodity, and how he uses AI to become "an expert in real time."
