Somewhere between yesterday and today, the AI world decided a billion dollars is pocket change.

In our debut episode, we're unpacking a week that felt more like a decade: Physical Intelligence wants a cool billion to make robots that actually work, Mistral AI is building a data center near Paris faster than most people renovate a kitchen, and a Korean chip startup just crossed the $2 billion mark before even going public.

But it's not all champagne and funding rounds. OpenAI quietly pulled the plug on Sora - the video tool that broke the internet just six months ago. What happened behind closed doors? And over at the IRS, Palantir is being tested to help decide who gets audited next. Yes, really.

We also dig into Okta's big bet that AI agents will need their own identity systems, and a biotech company that's building digital copies of humans to solve medicine's biggest blind spots.
