In this episode, we discuss OpenAI’s recent misstep with a ChatGPT update that made the AI overly flattering and less trustworthy—prompting a swift rollback and transparency from Sam Altman. We also explore Alibaba’s impressive new Qwen 3 models, which leverage a mixture-of-experts architecture to outperform competitors like Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI’s o3-mini in math and coding tasks. Finally, we break down Apple’s quiet but strategic internal shake-up, as leadership changes signal a renewed focus on Siri and foundational AI innovation. From OpenAI’s trust dilemma to Alibaba’s open-source push and Apple’s reorganization, this episode captures the fast-moving, high-stakes world of AI development.
