The other day I whizzed past several people while running in the park, my playlist blasting at full volume. The next morning, I smiled at a barista while ordering a caramel apple-flavored matcha latte. Afterward, I sat on a park bench reading a book, called up a pal to chat about her recent trip to Prague, and then asked my Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses what meetings were coming up on my calendar. The chipper AI voice said I hadn't connected my Google Calendar yet (I had) and asked if I would like help connecting. I sighed and then asked it

Welcome back. Open models are having a moment. Google and Reflection are pushing out new US-based open models to challenge the lead of Chinese labs, and it's giving enterprises more options on cost, efficiency, and control. Mistral is making a similar case with its 1-trillion-parameter flagship, arguing that owning the weights can reduce lock-in and give enterprises more control over critical systems. Meanwhile, Anthropic is facing a different kind of challenge as major customers pull back on Claude, raising bigger questions about enterprise spending, model dependence, and whether frontier labs can sustain their growth stories as competition intensifies. — Jason

Hello, friends. AI assistants have made it easier to generate answers. They haven't necessarily made it easier to make decisions. Without access to reliable company data, those answers leave employees doing the hard work of checking facts and reconciling conflicting information. That's a hidden tax on AI's productivity promise. For enterprises chasing a return on their investment, the next step is giving AI the business context it needs to produce answers people can actually put to work. Thanks to Databricks for sponsoring today’s edition of The Deep View. Let us know what you think! — Jason Hiner Context: The Missing

Welcome back. In classrooms, growing worries about students outsourcing their thinking are a reminder that adoption isn't the same as progress.

Meanwhile, Sabrina Ortiz explains how Meta is asking businesses to trust Muse while new reports of privacy and security problems raise uncomfortable questions. And Anthropic’s new Claude Sonnet 5.5 makes the case that AI’s next competitive advantage is doing more work for less money, though emerging rivals could undercut that strategy, as

Welcome back. Qualcomm's latest mobile chip can run a 30-billion-parameter AI model on a phone, roughly seven times the size of the largest phone model we’d previously seen. Sabrina Ortiz explains the clever use of specialized models and memory that makes it possible. But a more capable chip alone won’t make your phone the AI assistant we've been promised for over a decade. In this week’s Deep View Conversations, Qualcomm’s Vinesh Sukumar lays out the other hurdles, from connectivity to battery life. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s economic forecasts raise a different question: Is widespread AI job loss inevitable? Nat Rubio-Licht examines the

Welcome back. AI agents don’t just move faster than human attackers, they reason differently, combining familiar tactics in unfamiliar ways that existing defenses were never built to anticipate. We talked with CrowdStrike's chief product officer AJ Shipley about how that changes the cybersecurity playbook, how AI will reshape entry-level security work, and why enterprises still have a path to keep pace by putting AI to work in smarter ways and leaning into the cybersecurity community. — Jason Hiner IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. Cyber defenses weren’t built for AI reasoning 2. Cybersecurity’s entry-level job is changing 3. How AI could tilt

Hello, friends. Fine-tuning can make AI models dramatically better at specific tasks, but figuring out which model to use, what it will cost and whether the results are trustworthy can be complicated. Crusoe is trying to simplify that equation by pairing a seamless training workflow with reproducible benchmarks. Thanks to Crusoe for sponsoring today’s edition of The Deep View. Let us know what you think! — Nat Rubio-Licht Crusoe brings receipts to AI fine-tuning Most fine-tuning services ask you to trust three things you can't verify: their benchmark harness, their headline numbers, and the bill that shows up after. Crusoe

Welcome back. OpenAI is trying to put numbers around one of AI’s hardest problems: how well models handle people seeking emotional support. Its new benchmark exposes important gaps between empathy and genuinely safe guidance. Meanwhile, AI agents are raising a different kind of alarm after frontier models hacked an Australian government system, sharpening questions about whether the industry can credibly police itself. And Meta may have finally found its lane. Rather than chasing OpenAI and Anthropic head-on, it’s building a friendly AI agent for the masses and putting its powerful marketing machine and expertise in consumer products behind it. —

Welcome back. OpenAI is turning ChatGPT Voice into a mobile work agent that can create, code, and connect to apps. Meanwhile, our conversation with Credo AI CEO Navrina Singh makes the case that safety needs practical governance, independent testing, and accountability.
