Podcast Transcript

Jordan Wilson [00:00:16]:
It's kind of AI week. Some of the biggest companies in the world are going to be unveiling what they've been working on in the AI in large language model space this upcoming week. But what's happened in the past seven days has really laid the groundwork for what's to come. So I don't want you to spend hours every single day, trying to keep up with all of this stuff that's going on. It's so hard.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:05]:
Alright. Enough chitchat. Let's get into what matters this week in AI news. And, hey, livestream audience, love to see love to see y'all here beating me to the to the punch. So, good morning, everyone on YouTube. Big Bogey and Michael, and doctor Scott here on, LinkedIn. Cecilia, everyone else, thanks for dropping by. Love doing this with you all live.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:33]:
So let's get in to it right away. All right. An acquisition. Pretty big one actually just happened this week. So Salesforce has acquired convergence AI, a London based AI startup specializing in, specializing in agents, specifically autonomous AI agents that can perform complex tasks independently by perceiving, reasoning, and adopting to changing environments. So this technology directly competed with leading AI operators in this space, including open AI's operator. So agentic AI represents a pretty big shift from simple AI tools that follow more scripted instructions to now intelligent systems that can manage workflows, making decisions, and solve problems with minimal human input. So Salesforce's Agent Force platforms leverages this approach to offer businesses scalable, unlimited workforce solutions powered by AI agents.

Jordan Wilson [00:03:39]:
So Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff, forecasted that customers will deploy 1,000,000,000 AI agents by 2025, underscoring Salesforce's aggressive push into the AI agentic space. And the and the acquisition of Convergence really strengthens Salesforce position as a key player competing against OpenAI and other leaders in the AI agentic space. So Convergence, crazy enough, was founded just over a year ago by former Shopify and Cohere engineers, bringing deep expertise in autonomous tax task execution and AI agent design. So, yeah, we did not see an exact total on how much this acquisition was for, but it does represent Salesforce's entry into The UK scene a little bit more as well, establishing a new AI research and development hub in London with Convergence now as its core team. So Balverton Capital, which led Convergence, Convergences, $12,000,000 precede funding round alongside Salesforce Ventures and Shopified Ventures, acknowledged the startup's exceptional AI talent, but noted the acquisition was somewhat unexpected. So the move signals a strategic challenge to OpenAI's leadership in AI agents by Salesforce aiming to offer businesses more adaptable and autonomous AI workforce solutions across industries. So, yeah, I think that Salesforce tried to really make its mark with its new agent force offering, that was announced last year and has been slowly rolling out to customers where essentially their AI agents will make use of all of your Salesforce data and essentially follow-up on leads for you, based on the context of those conversations, the details of the opportunity, etcetera. But it looks like maybe Salesforce needed a little bit more help, with being able to work with data outside of just its own Salesforce platform to make Agent Force a little bit better.

Jordan Wilson [00:06:00]:
So pretty big acquisition here. So I I don't know if anyone else in the live stream audience used Convergence at all. I did test it out. For me, I know a lot of people thought it was better than, OpenAI's operator. I didn't think so. I still thought operator was a little more consistent. Convergence was pretty, capable for sure. But it was it felt like much more of a beta, project than did OpenAI's operator.

Jordan Wilson [00:06:30]:
So, you know, I would say that there was you know, over the last couple of months, there's been dozens of these, you know, AgenTek AI systems, but I would say Convergence was probably in the top five, at least for tools that were publicly available, you know, including, OpenAI's operator, Manus out of China, you know, and a few other very promising ones. So, pretty telling that already with only a year, since its formation that Convergence is already getting acquired. So, I would assume that a lot of these other, agentic AI startups, even ones that have launched within the last quarter, I would assume many of them will be acquired by the end of twenty twenty five by larger companies that are playing hard in the space. Alright. Our next piece of AI news, Google and their AI studio has unveiled what looks like a small update, but I think a pretty big one inside of its AI studio with its new generative media tab. So Google AI Studio has launched a new integrated generative media experience combining its b o two Gemini two point o native image generation and editing in the latest Imagine three model, all accessible for free trial, inside Google's AI Studio. So Google announced the availability of these three models coming together inside AI Studio, emphasizing that they are all ready for developers to build applications through the API. So so far, users expressed feedback on some missing history features for v o two, the AI video generator, prompting Google to commit to enabling automatic saving to prevent loss of creations.

Jordan Wilson [00:08:22]:
The platform currently supports turning images into videos, addressing user interest, and expanding creative outputs beyond static images. Some users reported that simple prompts on imagine three are frequently flagged despite being non offensive, with Google also committing to working to reduce false positive blocks to improve the user experience. So the integration of these models offers new opportunities for AI driven arts and media production, potentially impacting creators and businesses seeking to automate or enhance content generation. The announcement also hints at future model additions indicating ongoing development and expansions of Google's generative AI capabilities. So, yeah, this was actually a low key announcement. I think this was just put out there, by Google's Logan Kilpatrick on Twitter, but it's pretty big. I think, you know, Google's AI Studio, it's ultimately a sandbox for developers. But with this push right here, if I'm being honest, I find Google's AI studio more useful than their goo than their front end Google Gemini chatbot.

Jordan Wilson [00:09:33]:
One of the reasons is is, well, I mean, you see it right here with this new create generative media experience. Right? So bringing in three huge multimedia features available inside Google Gemini under one roof with even more controls than you would get inside of their front end AI chatbot, Google Gemini. So the big ones, I mean, first and foremost, their v o two, AI, video tool. It's by far, the best and the most flexible AI video generator out there. It is better, than OpenAI's Sora. It is better than, Runway's gen four. Although, I do think a lot of these other companies, including a lot of the, Chinese companies are closing the gap. I would say two months ago, v o two was in a wide lead, but now I would say they're, you know, more like one a, one b, with some of the other competitors.

Jordan Wilson [00:10:31]:
But, you know, to be able to bring in their industry leading v o two model inside Google's AI studio, their imagine three, text to photo or AI photo generator, and then their multimodal native image in, image generation and editing tool, the Gemini image generation. So, you know, if you haven't used that, that's very much well, not very much, but it's fairly similar to the ultra viral, OpenAI, GPT four o ImageGen. Right? The one that continues to go viral nonstop. Right? That's actually available inside Google's Gemini as well, and specifically a lot of great features and functionality here now inside Google's AI Studio, which is available for free. So if you log in to Google's, AI Studio, look on the left hand side under the generate media tab, and you will see these three new, kind of not new, but new for Google's AI studio and all under one roof. And like I said, the thing that I really like about it is it brings a clean and consistent interface, to these tools where, you know, if you're using as an example, v o two inside Google's front end AI, you know, Gemini chatbot, you don't get these, you know, nice kind of drag and drop options or slider options for the number of results, the aspect ratio, you know, changing the video duration, the frame rate, the resolution, negative prompt, etcetera. So now all of these things are more easily available. So, you know, like I said, this is kind of built for developers, but even for myself, I find myself spending much more time inside Google's AI studio than I do in their front end Google Gemini chatbot.

Jordan Wilson [00:12:23]:
And I think this is a pretty big push forward. Pretty good pretty good comment here from Michael saying, to be honest, I hate that my news feed has become filled with AI slopped. People just abuse these tools. Absolutely. And I agree. But here's the thing. Whether you're following this on social media, whether you're seeing more and more updates from companies. Right? Companies that maybe only used to, you know, send out a, you know, monthly newsletter, a couple posts on social.

Jordan Wilson [00:12:59]:
Now all of a sudden, companies are posting every day or they're posting you know, whereas before they had a monthly newsletter. Now it's twice a week because of, kind of the democratization of AI. Right? And, yes, what that does mean is a lot of slop. So if you are a business leader out there, you still need to focus on quality over quantity, focus on education. Right? As weird as that sounds, education and knowing how these large language model and knowing how these AI tools work can really separate you from just being AI slop and being, you know, just another company putting out mediocre AI powered content versus putting out content that resonates with your current customers or potential clients. So, a good call out there for Michael and just a word of warning to people. Stop falling you know, stop just putting out AI slop. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:13:57]:
Our next piece of AI news, it's essentially AI week. Alright. So, starting today and going throughout the rest of this week, we have some of the biggest companies with their conferences. So kicking off today, we have Microsoft Build. So we're expected out of, so this is happening in Seattle kicking off, I believe, in an hour or two. So, you know, by the time this is on podcast, you know, this already a lot of this news might already be out what's being announced. But so far, what Microsoft is expected to announce on the AI side at their build conference includes enhancements to code pilots, including semantic search in settings, file explorer, and Windows search, the introduction of copilot agents, AI avatars designed to assist users, updates to Windows 11 featuring, finally, right, we've seen the slow rollout to the recall feature on Copilot plus PCs, and we'll probably see some more and deeper integration from Microsoft with the MCP, the model context protocol. Also, Microsoft may potentially be unveiling a new proprietary AI model to compete with existed offerings.

Jordan Wilson [00:15:17]:
Right? So, yes, OpenAI, and Microsoft have been partnering, and the GPT and the o series models have been powering a big portion of Microsoft Copilot's offerings, but we might finally see Microsoft put out its own large language model products behind its Copilot or at least give users the option to use, its own models or others outside of just, OpenAI models. Alright. Next, a newer conference happening later this week. We have code with Claude happening on May 22, which is Thursday. So we're expected to see some hands on workshops exploring real world implementations using the anthropic API, and the MCP. So anthropic obviously made way and created the model context protocol, which all other AI labs, have thankfully gotten on board with. We'll also see some interactive labs and sessions with anthropics executives and product teams. And we may see a couple of smaller announcements from anthropic.

Jordan Wilson [00:16:27]:
Right? We've seen some rumors, in the last couple of weeks, about, Claude or sorry. Anthropic maybe launching new, Claude models. I'm not sure if we'll see that. I don't think so, but a lot of people have been speculating as such. So, not only do we have Microsoft and Anthropic, we obviously have Google as well with their Google IO conference kicking off tomorrow in California. So, we're expected to see the official official introduction of their Gemini 2.5 pro IO, model, which was introduced about two weeks ago and is the most powerful AI model in the world. We're also expected to see, according to reports, a new and maybe more availability, to their project Astra, which is kind of their, agent that can see and interact with humans in real time that can combine their AI assistant with voice input in visual perception as well as maybe seeing a potential unveiling of an XR headset developed in collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm. Also more on this story later, but we'll probably be seeing a lot of new, Gemini model enhancements and updates as well as some agentic offerings.

Jordan Wilson [00:17:48]:
So not only do we have those three official conferences, but we're also seeing rumors that OpenAI may even release even more new updates even after they release their codex platform. So more on that here in a minute. Speaking of anthropic, our next piece of AI news is, well, anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot has acknowledged a, quote, unquote, honest citation mistake in a legal filing related to a copyright dispute with music publishers Universal Music Group, ABKCO, and Concord. So the error involved an incorrect citation generated by Claude that included wrong titles and authors through the publication title year sorry. Though the publication title year in link were accurate according to Anthropic's defense, defense attorney. So the citation mistake was discovered after the filing was submitted in late April by Anthropic as part of the company's defense against claims that copyrighted lyrics were used to train Claude. So Universal Music Group's attorney called the source a, quote, unquote, complete fabrication, implying it was hallucinated by the AI. But Anthropic insists the source itself was genuine and the error was just an internal fabrication.

Jordan Wilson [00:19:19]:
Anthropic has apologized for the confusion, describing the incident as a, quote, unquote, embarrassing and unintentional mistake, highlighting the risk of relying on AI tools for legal citations without thorough manual checks. The case adds to a growing trend of AI generated errors in legal settings, including a recent California court's reprimand of law firms for submitting AI creative briefs containing bogus materials that did not exist. When are we gonna get over this? And to see this from one of the AI labs is absolutely bonkers. This is, I mean, this is straight face palm. Okay? Anytime, one of the big AI labs, right, whether it's Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, etcetera. They're gonna find themselves in the courtroom very often over the next few years and probably beyond that as the law of copyright gets challenged. Right? So please, this is a personal plea. Legal teams don't rely on your own AI tools alone when submitting legal briefs and exhibits to the courtroom.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:48]:
I can't believe this has to be said, but we talk about human in the loop, which I think is actually sometimes a bad thing. Right? I like to say we need expertise in the loop. The fact that this was not double, triple tech checked by a company as big as anthropic with pockets, as deep as anthropic, I think is indicative of a larger issue of just being lazy humans, right, and slapping the big red easy button on AI. Yes. AI can do research. Yes. It can pull in factual information, but literacy is clearly low. If you literally have in Tropics legal counsel making elementary mistakes, when the state, mistakes, when the stakes are so hot literacy, we need it.

Jordan Wilson [00:21:53]:
AI literacy. When you are even seeing the Frontier Labs make elementary mistakes, it is a sad day for just humanity that we are now getting so lazy that we can't do the basic work of checking citations. Right? It's not good. What is good is our next piece of AI news. This is extremely exciting. It's a little dorky. I'm gonna try to break it down, But, Google's DeepMind has discovered and created and released details on Alpha Evolve, an AI tool that can automatically find better ways to write programs and solve complex problems. So using Alpha Evolve, Google improved how jobs are scheduled in its data centers, freeing up point 7% of the world's computing power.

Jordan Wilson [00:22:54]:
Pretty big deal given how much energy and money data centers use. So instead of just understanding human language, Alpha Evolve works by testing and improving solutions step by step, like how, living things evolve over time. So one impressive success was Alpha Evolve's finding a new faster method to multiply certain math, matrix, matrices, beating a solution that has stood for more than fifty years. Yes. So this is a new AI, tool or a new AI model from Google DeepMind that has solved a decades old math problem and has made it much more optimized. So Alpha Evolve is essentially creating new algorithms on the fly that are solving real world problems, at least for Google right now. And you might say, oh, okay. Freeing up point 7% of the world's computing power, big deal.

Jordan Wilson [00:24:00]:
For one advancement to potentially save just 1% of compute, it is fascinating. And that is huge news because this is the first iteration of Alpha Evolve. I would assume that as Google's researchers and the DeepMind team, continue to work on Alpha Evolve, we will probably in the coming, in the coming years, see that, you know, point 7% multiply many times over. Okay? So the AI was able to rediscover known math solutions 75% of the time and even found improvements in 20% of those cases showing that it can both learn and innovate. So, yes, for all those people that say, oh, AI is just, you know, very advanced autocomplete. No. It's literally developing new algorithms on the fly that are solving decades old math problems way faster and with more accuracy than humans can do it. So experts see great promise in alpha evolve, but stress it can, stress it must be used to carefully avoid mistakes or security problems from automated coding.

Jordan Wilson [00:25:17]:
So for businesses and professionals, this means new tools could soon make computing faster and cheaper, helping companies grow grow and innovate more quickly. Suresh here on YouTube says, can't wait for all the Google updates tomorrow. Not sure what else they have up their sleeves yet. Let's just say you should tune it. Alright. Yeah. We'll be covering all week, both from Microsoft, Google, Claude, and the rumored open you know, if OpenAI does also release something, we could see new updates from the four biggest players in the game this week. So, yeah, we'll be covering it all, this week on the Everyday AI Show.

Jordan Wilson [00:26:05]:
Alright. Speaking of Google and what they may be showcasing, well, according to reports, Google is demonstrating a new AI agent designed to assist software engineers throughout the entire development process from task management to code documentation according to a report by the information. So this reported new AI agent aims to streamline software creation, potentially making coding more efficient and accessible for developers by handling routine tasks and improving workflow. Google may also reveal how its Gemini AI chatbot integration, with its Android XR glasses and headset highlighting advances in voice controlled AI interactions and wearable technologies. So these developments come as Google faces growing pressure from investors to prove returns on a significant investments in artificial intelligence amidst riding competition in the AI sector. So Google's annual conference, like I said, is scheduled for tomorrow in California. So like I said, we'll be covering those, both the, rumored new AI software agent and, improvements to Gemini. We're probably gonna be seeing a lot of multimodal offerings, out of Google IO as well.

Jordan Wilson [00:27:32]:
So very exciting week. It's like Christmas in May. Alright. Our next piece of AI news, The, United Emirates and US tech giants are uniting to build a massive AI data center now referred to as The UAE Stargate in Abu Dhabi. So The UAE Stargate project will be a huge AI data center covering 26 square kilometers with an energy capacity of five gigawatts, highlighting The UAE's major ambitions in the AI space. So the data center, which was just announced last week with a convoy of US Political And AI Leaders visiting the region, but the data center will integrate cutting edge American technology, including NVIDIA's Blackwell GB 300 chips. And the first phase alone will feature a one gigawatt computing cluster, signaling a massive leap in AI computing power. So top US leaders such as Jensen Huang from NVIDIA, Sam Altman from OpenAI, and Jeetu Patel from Cisco personally attended this signing, in The UAE showing strong US corporate commitments to this international partnership.

Jordan Wilson [00:28:58]:
So The, Emirates, The UAE company g forty two will lead the construction and integration efforts reinforcing The UAE's strategy to become a global tech hub and diversify its economy beyond oil. So The UAE has committed to investing 1,400,000,000,000.0 over ten years into The US economy, focusing on AI and semiconductors made here in The US, underscoring a new level of economic collaboration between the new nations. So this project complements OpenAI's own US based Stargate campuses planned across 16 states, starting with Texas and aiming for completion by mid twenty twenty six, indicating a coordinated global expansion of AI infrastructure. So beyond The Gulf, The UAE is investing $50,000,000,000 in France for an AI campus and is active in crypto innovation, recently launching a central bank regulated stablecoin, showing a broader push into emergent, emerging tech sectors. So pretty huge news here. Right? The leaders, of the biggest companies in The US, heading over to The UAE as well as, political leaders as well, really signaling a joint collaboration and international expansion on what has already powered The US artificial intelligence seen here in The US, namely, right, the Stargate project collaboration between NVIDIA and OpenAI. So, pretty big news both for those, companies as well as, The US's larger rollout across, the world. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:57]:
Our next piece of AI news, two last ones for you, both OpenAI. So OpenAI has rolled out its GPT 4.1 and GPT 4.1 mini, mini models to chat GPT users. So OpenAI has launched and rolled out its GPT four one and GPT four one mini within chat GPT aiming to improve coding assistance and instruction following while offering faster response times compete compared to previous GPT four o models. So previously, this new GPT four one was only available in the API. Yet last week, OpenAI said due to essentially popular demand that they were rolling out GPT 4.1 to paid users. So right now, ChatGPT plus, ChatGPT pro, and ChatGPT team subscribers will have access to GPT 4.1, whereas GPT 4.1 Mini is accessible to both, free and paying users as well. So, the OpenAI clarified that GPT 4.1 is not a Frontier model and therefore does not require the same level of safety reporting as did previous more advanced models. So to address transparency issues, OpenAI also announced the launch of a new safety evaluations hub where it will publish internal safety evaluation report, results more regularly signaling a commitment to clearer communication about AI risks.

Jordan Wilson [00:32:36]:
So this new GPT 4.1 release, you know, one of the things that it's really improved on is coding and prompt adherence as well as speed. But it comes, about the same time that OpenAI has reportedly closed on a $3,000,000,000 acquisition of Wind Surf, a leading AI coding assistant. So that is pretty timely because our last piece of AI news is a coding assistant that OpenAI rolled out. So OpenAI has announced and rolled out its codex platform to ChatGPT Pro enterprise and team users with a focus on safer and more transparent coding. So this move highlights OpenAI's ongoing efforts to make AI generated code more reliable while emphasizing the need for human oversight. So codex is designed to tackle more frequent issues flagged by developers with earlier, AI coding tools, such as producing code that doesn't meet standards, might be hard to debug, or it has security vulnerabilities. So the fine tuning behind its new model so this new model is called codecs one, and it is a fine tune of OpenAI's most powerful o three model. So, essentially, this is a new model and mode inside ChatGPT.

Jordan Wilson [00:34:06]:
So, if you are on a ChatGPT Pro enterprise or team account for now, if you look on the left hand side, you will see the new codex, kind of interface. Also, it did get rolled out to mobile over the weekend as well. So the fine tuning behind codecs one helps the system show its reasoning and intermediate steps during coding tasks, which can take anywhere from one to thirty minutes. So, essentially, all these different coding tasks get their own sandbox, and they can go work on all of these tasks kind of while you wait. So OpenAI stresses that despite these improvements, users must still manually review and validate all AI generated code before integrating or running it to avoid potential errors or security risks. So the rollout currently, like I said, includes chat g p t pro enterprise and team users with plus in education users expected to gain access in the coming weeks. So for the next few weeks, OpenAI is also offering a generous, no extra cost access to codex so users, via the API, so users can explore its capabilities, but plans to implement, rate limits and a new pricing model later. So this release reflects ongoing challenges in balancing AI automation with the need for human control, especially for developers relying on AI to write or assist with complex coding projects.

Jordan Wilson [00:35:41]:
So a lot of people, myself included, you know, so OpenAI hinted at something that they were gonna release on Friday. So a lot of people thought this might have been an official Wind Surf product, but it was not. So OpenAI had already been working on a coding specific model. Okay? So this is more than a mode within Chad GPT. This is a fine tuned new large language model that Chad GPT has released. So now as an example, right, you have GPT four o, which is kind of the workhorse model that's used for everything, including their very popular ImageGen. Then you have some of these o series models, right, such as o three, which is the most powerful model. Then you have o four mini, o four mini high.

Jordan Wilson [00:36:28]:
So these are models that kind of think, reason, plan ahead, can access the Internet, can access your, you know, code base as well. You have the deep research, kind of mode, which is a fine tune version of the o three model. So this is a brand new model, codex one. It is based on a fine tune of their most powerful model, o three, and it is specifically for coding. So what I'll say, and this is with my very little experience because this thing's only been out for, like, not even seventy two hours. It's been out for, like, sixty hours. So I haven't had a ton of time, to use it just yet, but I will in the coming weeks. So this is not one of those vibe coding assistance.

Jordan Wilson [00:37:11]:
Okay? You you know, where you kind of, with natural language, you you know, create an app and launch it and iterate on it. This is really, I would say, more geared, towards software engineers. It's more geared toward enterprise operations, I would say, than these more consumer tools like Wind Surf, like Cursor, right, like like Bolt, like Lovable. I think some of these, you know, more vibe coding tools that are more for consumers, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, people just looking, to kind of code from scratch where I think, it looks like codex one, and OpenAI's codex is more geared at least right now, toward more sophisticated and complex coding projects. So we might not be covering it as much, but this could also be laying the groundwork, for Wind Surf. Right? So maybe this will be their first version of codex, and maybe codex will be updated essentially with a more, consumer or vibe coding model via Wind Surf or maybe, you know, OpenAI will just keep Wind Surf as is. So a lot of people were expecting this because it was, teased and previewed to be for developers. People were expecting, a Wind Surf integration, but we didn't get it.

Jordan Wilson [00:38:31]:
We got something a little bit more, for software engineers, for more hardcore developers, and less for kind of consumer vibe coders, which is maybe, what a bigger chunk of our audience might be focused on. However, like I talked about, there are some reports and rumors that OpenAI, even though they just they did just release this on Friday afternoon, there are some reports that they may be getting in on the kind of AI week this week, with either some new, features that they'll be announcing or even potentially right. We've heard rumblings of an o three pro. Maybe we will get something officially on, Windsurf or maybe we'll get nothing at all as, anthropic, Microsoft, and Google dominate the week with their new AI announcements. Alright. That is a wrap. Let's very quickly run down the AI news that matters for the week of May 19. So first, Salesforce has acquired, AI agent startup Convergence, which I think was a top five agentic tool and a direct competitor to OpenAI's operator.

Jordan Wilson [00:39:44]:
So pretty big move there from Salesforce as they look to expand on their agent force capabilities. Next, Google AI Studio quietly unveiled a unified generative media platform inside Google's AI Studio that brought together its v o two Gemini two point o image generation in imagine three models. Next, it is literally AI conference week with Microsoft Build, Claude Code and Google AI or sorry. Google's IO that will be bringing a lot of AI all happening this week, starting with Microsoft build today. Next, Anthropic admitted that it used its own AI chatbot and made a citation error in a legal filing. Huge face palm. Not a face palm. The next piece of AI news, Google's DeepMind unveiled Alpha Evolve, an extremely groundbreaking advancement in artificial intelligence.

Jordan Wilson [00:40:46]:
Google also reportedly is going to showcase, some new AI agentic software development tools at their IO conference this week. The UAE and US tech giants, united to build a massive UAE stargate in Abu Dhabi, a pretty significant joint venture, between some big US companies and UAE. Next, OpenAI rolled out GBT 4.1 into ChatGPT, which was previously only available via the API. And then last but not least, we saw OpenAI announce and roll out its new codex, AI coding platform, for pro enterprise and team users. Alright. That was a lot to cover. I hope this was helpful. And yeah.

Jordan Wilson [00:41:41]:
There's a lot more coming in the coming hours and the rest of the week. So you better believe we'll be keeping you up to date here on Everyday AI.
