00:00:02.239 --> 00:00:04.780
Welcome to the AI Chat Podcast. I'm your host,

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:07.179
Jaden Schaefer. Every day I cover cutting -edge

00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:09.320
AI news and talk with the leaders behind it,

00:00:09.339 --> 00:00:11.300
breaking down what it means for your life and

00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:17.660
business. OpenAI is shutting down their Atlas

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:20.280
browser nine months after it launched, and they're

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.559
folding the features into ChatGPT, into a native

00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.059
app, and into a Chrome app. Meta is launching

00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:30.300
MuseSpark 1 .1, and this is directly competing

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:34.579
with Claude and GPT 5 .6 on coding. Sunrun is

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:37.039
going to pay customers to host AI compute nodes

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.299
in their homes so you can turn your home into

00:00:39.299 --> 00:00:43.119
an AI data center. And SkyHinix has raised $26

00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.520
.5 billion. in the largest ever foreign IPO in

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.719
the US market. Fiji Simone is stepping down as

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.200
OpenAI's application chief because of chronic

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.579
illness. The craziest thing just happened to

00:00:55.579 --> 00:00:57.259
me yesterday. If you listen to the podcast, you

00:00:57.259 --> 00:00:58.320
know that for the last couple of months, I've

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.960
been talking trash about a bunch of Chinese AI

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.600
companies on my podcast, but they have finally

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.780
proved me wrong. So yesterday I discovered the

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:11.120
incredibly innovative AIbox365 .com. So essentially

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.780
I was getting Claude to do SEO for me, asking

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:15.879
- you know, a bunch of a bunch of different tips

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.760
and strategies for AI box .ai, my own startups,

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.340
SEO, and it identified for me, it said, Look,

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:23.439
there's a red flag, because there's another startup

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.959
called AI box 365 .com. It does exactly what

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.000
you do. So it's a company, they went and they

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.439
registered our exact name, they added 365, they

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.959
cloned our landing page, and our pricing, it's

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.280
like the same pricing. But the only difference

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.620
is if you click the sign up button on their website,

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.620
it doesn't sign you up right there, it actually

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.829
redirects you to a complete completely different

00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:48.310
site called AI mirror hub .com. And that one

00:01:48.310 --> 00:01:50.909
has a bunch of Chinese characters on it. I think

00:01:50.909 --> 00:01:53.870
the site is actually like translated from Chinese

00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:56.829
into English, just automatically on Google, how

00:01:56.829 --> 00:01:58.549
you know how Google does that. If you've seen

00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:00.390
Silicon Valley, you know, they basically just

00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:03.489
got Jin Yang, where I mean, he pitches, you know,

00:02:03.489 --> 00:02:05.670
Uber, but it's Chinese Airbnb, but it's Chinese,

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.050
we now have AI box, but it's Chinese. And everything

00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:11.129
else is the same, except that it now points to

00:02:11.129 --> 00:02:12.870
their website, just basically. basically poaching

00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.129
off of our SEO. So how do we stack up against

00:02:15.129 --> 00:02:17.110
this incredibly innovative Chinese competitor?

00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:19.389
Well, I'm proud to say that even with the ability

00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:21.949
to go and clone our site, we still beat them

00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:26.349
on pricing. They are $9. We're $8 .99. So we're

00:02:26.349 --> 00:02:28.650
one cent cheaper. They have 10 models on their

00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:31.050
platform. We have over 80 different models on

00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:33.050
our platform. And if you go and get an annual

00:02:33.050 --> 00:02:36.590
subscription from them, it's $109 where our cheapest

00:02:36.590 --> 00:02:41.090
annual subscription is $86 .99. So we're beating

00:02:41.090 --> 00:03:09.099
them on annual. I'll leave a link in the show

00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:11.840
notes. OpenAI is... Shutting down Atlas. This

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.240
is a browser that they launched nine months ago,

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:15.960
and they're moving all of the features from that

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.520
into a Chrome extension. And they're also upgrading

00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.639
their chat GPT desktop app instead. I mean, this

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.419
is basically what Claude already has with the

00:03:23.419 --> 00:03:25.560
Claude app that has like all of their different

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.780
Claude code and Claude co -work and even the

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:29.900
chat all inside of one app. It looks like OpenAI

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:31.560
is trying to consolidate and do that same thing.

00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:34.319
And I even saw Claude today launch the fact that

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.639
they have a browser built into that. So I wouldn't

00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.860
be surprised if chat GPT did something similar

00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:40.819
and had some sort of browser. built in eventually

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:43.180
to the ChatGPT app. They want to consolidate.

00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.419
They don't want multiple apps. And Claude also

00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:48.259
has a Chrome extension. And so it looks like

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:51.039
OpenAI is basically following Claude's playbook.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.460
It works really well. I use both the Chrome extension

00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:56.780
and the app on my desktop. And sometimes they

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:58.659
chat back and forth and they use each other.

00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:00.400
But anyways, this is, I think, the way to go.

00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.419
And OpenAI is copying that. The new ChatGPT Chrome

00:04:03.419 --> 00:04:05.919
extension is going to compete directly with Google's

00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.280
Gemini side panel. And I think it's going to

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.650
basically answer any questions. that you have

00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:12.469
about a web, any specific web page. So I can

00:04:12.469 --> 00:04:14.210
look at the content on that page. It can handle

00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:16.529
multi -step tasks. You're not leaving the browser.

00:04:16.709 --> 00:04:18.290
The other cool thing that they do is they're

00:04:18.290 --> 00:04:20.490
building a cloud browser. So it's going to run

00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:23.069
on their own servers. And basically it lets ChatGPT

00:04:23.069 --> 00:04:26.009
agents complete tasks for you while your desktop

00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:29.250
app is staying responsive. There's a couple of

00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:31.250
different cool things here. One is like, I love

00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:33.310
that Cloud Cowork, for example, uses the files

00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:37.550
on my computer or, you know, let's say the Cloud

00:04:37.550 --> 00:04:40.350
Chrome extension. use and take control of my

00:04:40.350 --> 00:04:42.449
screen. But a lot of times I just want something

00:04:42.449 --> 00:04:44.290
done and I don't want it to mess up with my screen

00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:46.670
or what's happening on my computer. I just want

00:04:46.670 --> 00:04:47.990
it to go happen in the backend. So that looks

00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:50.589
like what OpenAI is building here. But this is

00:04:50.589 --> 00:04:53.089
now leaving room for the browser company and

00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:56.009
for Perplexity that both have their own AI native

00:04:56.009 --> 00:04:58.730
browsers to potentially take more control of

00:04:58.730 --> 00:05:02.310
the industry. Meta has just released MuseSpark

00:05:02.310 --> 00:05:04.930
1 .1. This is a coding model and it's designed

00:05:04.930 --> 00:05:07.389
to build features and manage workflows inside

00:05:07.389 --> 00:05:10.240
of enterprise software without any human intervention.

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:14.040
At 1 .25 per million input tokens, it's basically

00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.379
priced directly to compete with Claude Haiku

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:20.100
4 .5 and GPT 5 .6 Luna. So these are kind of

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:22.240
the dominant cheap coding models. So it's not,

00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:23.839
you know, the best. It's basically trying to

00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:25.560
compete with the cheap coding models. The thing

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.220
that I love about this is that Mark Zuckerberg

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:30.720
has broken his three year silence on X to promote

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.319
this. This is his first post since July 2023,

00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:35.319
back when I think threads dropped. And when threads

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.180
dropped, it's kind of funny because he was making

00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.220
a post about threads and it was, you know, cloning

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:41.800
X. Specifically what he said about this, he said,

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.000
today we're releasing MuseSpark 1 .1, a strong

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.600
agentic encoding model at a very low price. It's

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.360
available through our new meta model API and

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.660
meta API. MuseSpark 1 .1 is the strongest at

00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:55.180
agentic performance, tool use and computer use.

00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:57.600
It does well on long running tasks with a million

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.319
token context window and can delegate execution

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.759
to sub agents running in parallel and is trained

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.240
to use computer interfaces on desktop, mobile

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.199
and browser. browser. The meta model API allows

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.839
developers to build using Muse spark. For the

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.800
first time, our focus is on delivering strong

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.740
agentic and multimodal models at a very low cost

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:18.279
more to come soon. Honestly, I'm pretty stoked

00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.420
that we're getting Mark Zuckerberg tweeting again.

00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.660
But also I think this is a good model. I'm excited

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.620
to see what they do with this. And a lot of people

00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:26.879
have been pointing out that like just from internet

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.600
traffic, meta is scraping like crazy. They're

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.519
obviously building some big things. We don't

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.519
know exactly what but I'm excited to have another

00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.329
competitor in the ring. Accompanying called Sunrun

00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:38.970
is paying customers to host AI compute hardware

00:06:38.970 --> 00:06:41.509
in their homes, aka little mini data centers

00:06:41.509 --> 00:06:43.810
at your house. They're trying to basically spread

00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:46.790
the AI workload across 1 .1 million residential

00:06:46.790 --> 00:06:49.889
solar and battery systems instead of building

00:06:49.889 --> 00:06:51.569
massive data centers. There's a couple interesting

00:06:51.569 --> 00:06:54.209
things right now. One of them, I think it basically

00:06:54.209 --> 00:06:56.069
gets them around a huge problem, which is that

00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:59.129
70 % of Americans oppose new data center construction.

00:06:59.529 --> 00:07:01.250
You know, they're worried about like pollution

00:07:01.250 --> 00:07:03.490
and noise and power drain. There's also a ton

00:07:03.490 --> 00:07:05.990
of like political campaigns going up. Some people

00:07:05.990 --> 00:07:08.110
have accused China of funding a lot of these

00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:09.810
different campaigns. Kevin O 'Leary said that's

00:07:09.810 --> 00:07:12.569
the case in many instances. So being able to

00:07:12.569 --> 00:07:14.470
just, you know, not have to worry about getting

00:07:14.470 --> 00:07:16.350
one of these things approved, because I saw a

00:07:16.350 --> 00:07:18.230
stat that it was like 40 to 60 % of all data

00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:21.569
center projects don't get approved on the local

00:07:21.569 --> 00:07:23.449
level because of, you know, people pushing back

00:07:23.449 --> 00:07:25.970
or whatever. So if you could just go directly

00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:27.629
to consumers, and if everyone had a little mini

00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:29.389
data center on the side of their house, I've

00:07:29.389 --> 00:07:31.569
seen people, you know, float like, hey, you get

00:07:31.569 --> 00:07:34.040
free electricity and other different benefits

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.160
to it. So if that was the case, I guarantee tons

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.079
of Americans would sign up for free electricity

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.560
to host a data center on the side of their house.

00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:43.899
And then you wouldn't have any of this kind of

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:47.480
regulatory burden as well. Sunrun has completed

00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.500
a proof of concept pilot and they're planning

00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:52.839
to resell the compute capacity to AI companies

00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.860
like Anthropic and OpenAI within the coming months.

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:57.500
Home -based nodes like these little mini quote

00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.120
unquote data centers, will essentially run partly

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.240
on rooftop solar and also batteries. And then

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.379
they're going to basically reduce grid draw compared

00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:08.160
to a single warehouse scale facility, which is

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.920
drawing hundreds of megawatts. And I think this

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.459
is kind of the concept that a lot of people have

00:08:11.459 --> 00:08:12.819
talked about with building these data centers.

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:14.379
Trump has talked about it a lot saying, hey,

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.899
look, if you're building the data centers, you

00:08:15.899 --> 00:08:17.800
should go and build like your own energy generation

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.920
plant next to it, basically telling people they

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.560
should build their own gas, electric, solar,

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.839
wind, whatever you want, like energy generation

00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.279
should be built in. to these so that it's not

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.620
pulling off of the grid. And if you do this the

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:31.019
way that they're doing this now, they're going

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:33.580
to bring their own batteries, solar, and it would

00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:36.860
just basically increase what is on the grid and

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.659
not take from it. A lot of the top AI labs are

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.019
trying to get these data center deals. It's basically

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:44.580
a land grab right now. And Anthropic just signed

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:47.620
a 20 year Kentucky facility lease, but the permits

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:50.179
are a huge bottleneck and it hasn't actually

00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:53.450
solidified yet. SK Hynix. I've been talking about

00:08:53.450 --> 00:08:55.529
them a ton on the podcast lately. I've just raised

00:08:55.529 --> 00:08:59.110
$26 .5 billion. This is the largest ever foreign

00:08:59.110 --> 00:09:01.629
IPO that's happened in the United States. I've

00:09:01.629 --> 00:09:03.210
been talking about this as it's been coming up.

00:09:03.350 --> 00:09:05.090
But the thing that's interesting is that they

00:09:05.090 --> 00:09:09.009
actually beat Alibaba's 2014 record. And Wall

00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:12.269
Street is bidding really aggressively for exposure

00:09:12.269 --> 00:09:14.970
to this one particular chip maker because they

00:09:14.970 --> 00:09:17.330
make high bandwidth memory, which basically powers

00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:21.360
NVIDIA's AI accelerators and AMD's as well. interesting

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.440
is there's only three players that make this

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.960
particular high bandwidth memory. Samsung is

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.200
one of them. SK Hynix is another. And there's

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.299
one called Micron. I believe they're based in

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:33.120
Idaho, but there's only three of these companies

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.980
in the world. Their stock prices have absolutely

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:37.759
been soaring. The companies are raising and making

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.200
tons of money. It's absolutely eye -watering.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.120
And so right now they've decided that they're

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.799
going to go public and capitalize on this. They

00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.049
sold 1 .779 So 177, basically, or 178 million

00:09:50.049 --> 00:09:54.830
shares at $149 each. It was priced 2 .7 % above

00:09:54.830 --> 00:09:59.190
their South Korean average. And there is demand

00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:01.830
for more than seven times the available supply.

00:10:02.009 --> 00:10:05.590
The stock opened 14 % above the IPO price. Friday,

00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:09.549
the ticker is SKHYV. It then started doing regular

00:10:09.549 --> 00:10:14.250
trading on Monday and under SKHY. U .S. Commerce

00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.230
Secretary Howard Lutnick said that he's already

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:18.840
negotiating with SK Hynix and Samsung to both

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.740
build new chip factors in the United States.

00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:22.820
We already have one in Idaho, but you know, or

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:25.179
one company that's based in Idaho, but we want

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:27.700
to bring everyone else in as well. I think basically

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:30.019
this just shows that in the United States, there's

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.580
a ton of appetite for AI infrastructure, even

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:34.740
if it's not in the US, even if it's not based

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:36.279
in the United States. Like, I mean, essentially

00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.340
by investing in this IPO, you're investing in

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:40.740
hardware companies based in Korea, which isn't

00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.320
a bad thing. Washington right now wants to rebuild

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.960
a lot of the domestic memory manufacturing. which

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.360
all of it has kind of been abandoned in the last

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.840
10 or 20 years. Micron fired back with a $250

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.659
billion US investment pledge. A big part of this,

00:10:55.740 --> 00:10:59.639
I think, is federal subsidies and talent. Fiji

00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.700
Simone is stepping down as opening eyes number

00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:05.139
two executive and she is moving to part time

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:07.940
advisor after a three month medical leave. So

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:10.299
she had consolidated products and a lot of business

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:13.539
operations under her since May of last year,

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:15.960
but she had a really severe relapse of a chronic

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.399
illness and that led her to prioritize recovery

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.879
ahead of. OpenAI's IPO that's happening next

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.519
year. She was diagnosed with POTS and Greg Brockman,

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.039
I think is going to take over a lot of her responsibilities.

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.460
The reason I wanted to bring this up, because

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:29.860
I know this is sort of just like a random thing

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.940
to throw on the end of a podcast. I mean, it

00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:34.100
is the number two person at OpenAI, but my point

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:37.419
being life is short. All of this and AI, everything

00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:39.240
happening in the markets, all of this, you know,

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:40.779
technology, it's super exciting and interesting.

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.990
But at the end of the day. Nothing is more important

00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:44.789
than taking care of yourself, your family, your

00:11:44.789 --> 00:11:48.129
help. There are much bigger things than AI and

00:11:48.129 --> 00:11:49.929
technology, even though this is what we talk

00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:52.389
about every day. I think she obviously realized

00:11:52.389 --> 00:11:54.789
that life is short. I'm really, you know, praying

00:11:54.789 --> 00:11:57.309
for a speedy recovery for her and for anyone

00:11:57.309 --> 00:11:59.889
that is suffering from illness. All right, guys,
