Welcome to AI Unraveled (December 03rd, 2025): Your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI.

Strategic Pillars & Topics

📉 Market & Strategy (Geopolitics, Finance, Regulation)

• 🇨🇳 DeepSeek’s Price War: Chinese startup DeepSeek has released V3.2 and V3.2-Speciale, two open-source reasoning models that rival GPT-5 and Gemini 3 Pro on math and coding benchmarks.
• 🚨 OpenAI’s 'Code Red': Sam Altman has issued an internal "code red" following Gemini 3’s superior benchmark performance, which sent Google stock to record highs. OpenAI is now delaying agentic product launches to focus resources on reclaiming the leaderboard from Google and Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5.
• ⚔️ Amazon vs. Nvidia: AWS has launched the Trainium3 UltraServer. Built on 3nm chips, it offers 4x the speed and 40% better energy efficiency than previous generations.
• 🍎 Apple Leadership Shakeup: AI Chief John Giannandrea is stepping down as Apple struggles to modernize Siri. He is replaced by former Google Gemini veteran Amar Subramanya, signaling a shift in tactic as CEO Tim Cook promises a major Siri overhaul next year.

🛠 Products & Development (Capability, Efficiency, Tools)

• 🎥 Runway Gen-4.5 Dominates: Runway’s new model has claimed the top spot on the Artificial Analysis video leaderboard. Dubbed "David" (vs. the industry Goliaths), it excels at physics and fluid dynamics, pushing OpenAI’s Sora 2 Pro down to seventh place.
• 🌌 Google’s Space Data Centers: In a literal "moonshot," Google unveiled Project Suncatcher, aiming to launch solar-powered data centers into orbit by 2027 to mitigate the environmental impact of AI compute.

🧠 Theory & The Future

• 📉 The End of Scaling? On the Dwarkesh Podcast, Ilya Sutskever argued that the "Age of Scaling" (2020-2025) is ending. He suggests the industry must return to the "Age of Research," as simply making models bigger is yielding diminishing returns—a sentiment echoed by Meta’s Yann LeCun.
