Episode Details

A cost-driven Tuesday for AI go-to-market. Host Jack King covers why U.S. companies are quietly swapping in cheaper Chinese AI models as OpenAI and Anthropic run-rate costs climb, why Salesforce and HubSpot both shipped agents that transact and prospect, how Amazon and RecCloud are collapsing the cost of marketing video, and how the EU's new cybersecurity-and-AI plan is turning governance into a procurement question — with the Article 50 disclosure deadline of August 2 looming over every brand that publishes AI media.
