Why the Pentagon is suddenly relying on Google Gemini.

Why did we choose this article?
High-impact development: a major practical example of how generative AI is moving into government operations. Important for listeners because it shows vendor positioning, procurement and security trade-offs, and clarifies use cases (back-office, analytics) rather than autonomous weapons — practical consequences for suppliers, regulators, and enterprise adopters.

Deepseek is supposed to use thousands of smuggled Nvidia chips for AI training.

Why did we choose this article?
Geopolitically charged supply-chain story with direct implications for model capabilities, export controls, and enforcement. Useful for practitioners and policymakers tracking where advanced compute is actually deployed and the risks around illicit hardware flows.

Meta plans a closed AI model 'Avocado' and breaks with its open-source line.
Source: https://the-decoder.de/meta-plant-geschlossenes-ki-modell-avocado-und-bricht-mit-seiner-open-source-linie/
Why did we choose this article?
Strategic shift at a major platform: Meta moving from open-source to a closed model changes competitive dynamics, access to state-of-the-art models, and the ecosystem for researchers and startups. Practical takeaway: expect tighter control over model capabilities, monetization, and integration paths.

Google launches managed MCP servers that let AI agents simply plug into its tools
Source: https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/10/google-is-going-all-in-on-mcp-servers-agent-ready-by-design/
Why did we choose this article?
Concrete infrastructure move that lowers friction for building tool-enabled AI agents. For developers and product teams this signals easier integrations with Google services (Maps, BigQuery), and a path to more capable, reliable agent behavior — a practical lead indicator for agent-powered products.
