Description
The AI landscape is shifting fast. Liquid AI just released a reasoning model under 1GB that runs entirely on your phone—no cloud needed. Meanwhile, a stealth startup raised nearly half a billion dollars at seed stage, and people are turning to AI chatbots for therapy as mental health systems fail. Razer's CEO announced a controversial $600M AI investment that has gamers up in arms, while Anthropic's chief publicly criticized Nvidia over China chip sales despite being funded by them. Plus: RAM and GPU prices are surging, OpenAI pivots to practical adoption after years of capability-building, and developers are ditching $200/month coding tools for open-source alternatives. The question is no longer what AI can do—it's who controls it, at what cost, and for whose benefit.
