Claire and Peter cover a fast-moving day in AI on AI in Flow. The US signals tougher lines on AI coalitions, warning partners they may not be able to join both US and China-led initiatives. Nvidia, SoftBank-backed SB Energy and OpenAI discuss vast financing and credit support for an Ohio data centre and power campus, highlighting how capital intensive AI infrastructure is becoming. Google begins notifying users of a phased Google Assistant shutdown across several platforms from 4 September 2026 as it pivots to Gemini. In Europe, the EU AI Act kicks in, and watermarking and provenance efforts accelerate, with Anthropic adding model-level watermarking for Claude and Google leaning on SynthID and C2PA metadata. The episode also unpacks an unsettling governance story from Andon Labs, where an AI manager dismissed a human worker, raising questions about policy memory, human prompting, and accountability. Plus, quick hits on SpaceX closing its Cursor acquisition, a university dropping AI detector scores, new enterprise partnerships, and fresh AI-enabled hardware and workplace tools.

Claire and Peter unpack today’s key shifts shaping AI in practice. Google is making visible watermarking user-controlled in Gemini and Flow, while keeping invisible SynthID and C2PA metadata, a change that pushes enterprises to enforce disclosure in workflows rather than relying on default labels. Apple is reportedly training a custom LLM for China with Alibaba, signalling how compliance and go-to-market strategy can drive local model variants. In India, Prime Minister Modi announces free online exam coaching and a plan to train one crore young people in AI skills, with major implications for talent pipelines and delivery logistics. Plus, AstraZeneca details its evidence-linked internal Research Assistant for R&D, and new research shows how model reliability can collapse when many constraints are stacked at once, reinforcing the need for verifiers and stepwise task design. Briefly, power costs for AI data centres, GPU performance for agentic workflows, Meta’s open-weight Glimmer, Gemini in Classroom, and a report on OpenAI shifting monitoring tactics.
