Episode Details

Google took Gemini 4 Argon out of early access and shipped it worldwide today — then attached a clock to the invoice: $2 in and $10 out per million tokens through November 30, doubling to $4 and $20 on December 1. Jack King unpacks what that does to every AI GTM business case built this quarter, then works through five more stories that landed today: Movable Ink giving up its own interface and making its platform agent-drivable over an MCP server with 50-plus APIs; Alibaba actually putting the $450 Qwen Glasses N1 on sale in China with a 50-megapixel camera and iris-scan payments; Ambi raising $26M for an agent that listens all day and acts during the meeting — and quietly hands the disclosure obligation to your individual rep; Meta's first frontier models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, with Active Memory and Active Focus; and DigitalOcean turning agent evaluation into a managed service. Plus why the brand that publishes AI media owns the Article 50 audit trail, not the model that made it.
