Welcome to the podcast. There is so much happening in tech and AI news today. I'll try to get you the most interesting stuff. I've been scrolling through the comments on X, finding some funny memes, and takes on a lot of what's going on. The thing I want to kick it off with, because it just happened, is that Apple has just released their brand new iPhone Duo, which is like a folding iPhone. And there's some cool AI features that are gonna be in there that I think a lot of people are gonna be interested in. One of the things, and they'll be rolling this out more broadly, this is gonna be with the iPhone 18, is that Apple has something called Reference Image Features. And this is to help basically fight AI fakes. I'll get into all of that on the podcast today. OpenAI has added something called Sketch 2.5 to the new ChatGPT Image 2.5. So they have a new image model that came out, and they have a cool feature called Sketch. I was testing it out today. OpenAI also claims that they have solved Navier Stokes. This is, you know, there's like a million dollar prize for this math problem. There's a lot of drama in here. I don't even want to get into all of it, but it's kind of hilarious to me. Anthropic had a researcher named Jacob Coxston, who quit Went Viral on X this morning. I saw he had over 400,000 likes on his post, saying he quit Anthropic because he believed that the AI model was going to kill everyone in the world, or had the potential to kill all of humanity. So this, to say the least, had even more drama in it. We also have Suno that just released V6, their model. It was all trained on licensed music because they have so many copyright suits. More drama there. Guys, I'm not joking. This is just a wild day for tech. We also have a bunch of hackers that are draining Claude's subscribers' token allowances because they're basically getting your password and they're just draining all of your tokens from your account. We also have Meta that has launched Muse, which is a personal AI agent built on a security-first pitch. I signed up for it today. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of excited for Meta. I think that they're pulling out some interesting new technology, and I'm excited for all of that. I also wanted to mention, if you haven't already, if you'd like to get access to over 90 of the top AI models in the world, you need to go check out aibox.ai. That's my own startup. We have an MCP connector. So basically, it's a connector that lets every single AI model in the world work inside of any other AI model. All of these AI companies notoriously hate each other. You have Sam Altman and Dario at the big summit in India, and everyone's holding hands and bowing because it's a big tech summit, or another person's country, and they refuse to hold hands. These people hate each other. Elon and Sam Altman, to say the least, also hate each other. So if they're never going to work with each other, they're never going to let their models work with each other. But if you want to have all of the different AI models working together, go check out the AI Box MCP.

We have the brand new image model coming out of ChatGPT. You're going to be able to use that to generate images inside of Cloud. Or if you have something like 11 Labs that you use for generating audio, you can generate all of that inside of Cloud, especially for something like Cloud, which is a pretty good model, but it doesn't do any of the image, audio, video generations, or even OpenAI that's killing their Sora video model. If you want to generate videos inside of OpenAI work, you can go and get Google V03 to generate them. So anyways, all the models work together.

It's less than $9 a month to get started, and we have a bunch of tiers where you can get access to a ton of really cool stuff. aibox.ai, linked in the description. Okay, let's talk about Apple first, because I think this is an interesting tool that they've rolled out to kind of fight against fakes. Apple just announced something called Reference Images. They have kind of, this is tied to their iPhone 18 Pro launch. Basically, what it's gonna do is it is going to capture signed sensor data. So the moment that you take a photo, it's gonna capture that. It's gonna route it through private cloud compute. So Apple's compute, and it's gonna produce an unalterable image. Apple is adopting the Synth ID standard to help users detect AI-generated or AI-altered images. This is something that I think OpenAI and Google have also been working with. The iPhone 18 Pro is gonna have an 84-megapixel fusion main camera featuring a variable aperture built from six laser-cut blades, each thinner than a human hair. So Apple, we're gonna get into all the drama today. There's like, Anthropix researcher says it's gonna kill all of humanity. OpenAI apparently is stealing everyone's math research.
