If you want to get access to this episode and my next 30 episodes all ad free, so there'll be no ads on them, go check out my podcast, AI Chat. You can go search for that on Spotify or Apple, it's AI Chat. I'm gonna post all of these news episodes, and I'm also posting interviews, like I just interviewed the CEO of Cohere. They've raised over a billion dollars for their AI model, talking about what they're gonna be spending the money on and the direction of the AI industry, along with all of this new stuff. So if you wanna go check it out with no ads for free, it is AI Chat. Samsung held acquisition talks with Physical Intelligence, the robotics company, and this is making the OpenAI robotics push a little bit more complicated. Meta has launched something called Content Seal AI Watermarking. This is three years after they promised to put AI labels on content. Synthesia launched roleplay sessions. Their goal is to let employees talk with AI to improve their conversations in a bunch of different areas, and they get judged on it. Samsung is in talks to back Mistral at a 20 billion euro valuation. Next era, Duke and 200 other utility companies signed Trump's AI Electricity Pledge. Last week, I just started running my first ever Facebook ad campaign for my startup aibox.ai, which up until now has grown completely organically. We're ready to invest a little bit into paid marketing. The top performing ad I wanted to tell you about because I thought it was pretty funny. It's basically, it looks like a news clip. It's like says Tech Alert, and it's me in the kind of big banner image looking shocked. And there's like in the top corner, there's like a zoom in on like an image and camera lens. And the headline on it says, now Claude makes images, no extra apps needed. And the caption on it says, get Claude to generate images, every top image model right inside the chat, no new apps, no API keys. Anyways, I thought it was funny. This is basically, I've tried 77 different ad types and styles and variations. And that is the winner of 77 So I figured if I was going to tell you guys about the new MCP on AI box that lets you generate 80 different AI models inside of Claude, I was going to just tell you guys the top performing Facebook ad. And yeah, it's super cool. I've been using it all week. Anytime that you want to generate an image inside of Claude, you could just say Claude generated an image of XYZ and you just basically put in the prompt that you give to ChatGPT or any other image generator, and it will pull the image straight into Claude. Claude can then go use it. The thing that I mostly am using it for, number one, Facebook ads because I've been creating 77 of them this week. Also though, I've done it with a bunch of different websites where I'm like, hey, I generate this website and we all know what a Claude website looks like. It's pretty generic. And so I'll say, hey, generate custom graphics for each section of this website. Sometimes I'll even say, hey, go generate, take a screenshot of what the website looks like and I'm like, regenerate this website, an image of this website where the design looks a lot better and it will use an image generator to kind of fill it out with custom graphics and make it look better. And then I'll say, hey, now go and take each of the little custom graphics in this image and generate an image for each of those and embed it into the website. This is basically turned my websites and apps that I've done from looking super basic and generic to looking super customizable or custom, right? So anyways, very cool use case. If you want to check it out, it's AI box dot AI slash MCP. I'll leave a link in the description. Speaking of Cloud and Anthropic, Anthropic held acquisition talks with physical intelligence this spring. It is an $11 billion robotics startup. And the deal didn't actually close, but both Anthropic and OpenAI are now really racing to try and build robotic capabilities because they're both going for the new big IPO. They're both going to, you know, debut on the stock market later this year. And robotics is such a hot area. It's kind of interesting. SpaceX, you know, what the space data center wrote, which Sam Altman says is a scam. Elon Musk says it's going to happen, but whatever way you want to cut it, it was a very novel, very new kind of competitive advantage. SpaceX had OpenAI and Anthropic, I think, both want to get into something physical. OpenAI has done a lot with physical data centers. I think that's going to play, you know, bode really well for them. But I think both of them want to get into robotics, which is kind of the new phase of AI, where we're going to have, you know, robots that have AI embedded into their brains. One thing I wanted to clarify is that while physical intelligence is a quote unquote robotics company, they don't have robots. They've raised a billion dollars and they make a very popular AI model that's used for controlling a lot of robots. It's used in academic research. It's called Pi 0.5, and that's the symbol Pi.
