Anthropic launched ten specialized AI agents directly targeting Wall Street, Apple is developing camera-equipped AirPods with visual AI, and the Detroit Pistons are actually winning playoff games. This episode covers the major AI and tech moves reshaping enterprise software and consumer hardware.

Topics covered:
- Anthropic's Wall Street push: Ten purpose-built AI agents designed for banking, insurance, and asset management with Microsoft 365 integration and Moody's data partnerships represent a serious enterprise play targeting analyst positions.
- Compute constraints limiting AI scale: Anthropic's infrastructure costs and GPU availability are creating bottlenecks that could slow adoption, with latency being a critical factor for enterprise clients.
- Google allowing AI in engineering interviews: Google now permits Gemini-assisted coding during technical interviews, signaling the traditional whiteboard interview format may be obsolete.
- ServiceNow opening to third-party AI agents: ServiceNow's platform expansion allows AI to take direct actions inside business systems rather than just answer questions, marking the shift from AI as tool to AI as colleague.
- G2's top AI coding assistants: Claude Code leads the category, particularly for handling large codebase context in development work.
- Camera-equipped AirPods in development: Apple is reportedly building tiny cameras into AirPods to give Siri visual intelligence for real-time contextual tasks like product identification and menu translation.
