The chasm between AI industry insiders and the broader public continues to widen, a trend reflected in investment patterns, growing distrust, and the adoption of specialized terminology. As OpenAI snaps up companies from the fintech space to media, a prominent shoe brand has reinvented itself as an AI infrastructure firm. Anthropic, for its part, has revealed a model it claims is too advanced for public distribution—though it was reportedly compelling enough to showcase to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
Join hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane as they dissect the tangible progress in AI infrastructure, examine who's leading the enterprise race between OpenAI and Anthropic, and review other top stories in this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast.
