Summary: In today’s briefing, we analyze the "Decentralization of Intelligence." We deconstruct OpenAI fast-tracking a custom-built AI smartphone to control the hardware layer, and Apple paying $250M to settle a class action over delayed AI Siri features. We explore the radical shift in compute infrastructure, highlighted by Nvidia and Span mounting liquid-cooled mini AI data centers on the exterior walls of residential homes. We also cover OpenAI's new MRC networking protocol designed to stretch GPU compute, Anthropic's new finance agents, publishers suing Mark Zuckerberg personally for piracy, and PayPal joining Coinbase in massive, AI-driven workforce layoffs.
