Episode Details

Today's read on where AI meets go-to-market, hosted by Jack King. The theme is leverage: Suno launched its "Spark" artist program — grants and exposure bundled with a non-disparagement clause and a 60-day ban on working with rivals; the US government turned model access into a gated list as OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family shipped to ~20 approved orgs and Anthropic's Mythos 5 was only partially restored, prompting Austria to lobby the EU; enterprises pivoted from "tokenmaxxing" to model routing for 5–10x cost efficiency; Five9 launched next-gen Voice AI Agents built for resolution, not deflection; Figma shipped Motion to collapse the animation pipeline; and Palantir and Zeta Global tied agentic marketing to live operational data.
