Episode Description

AI surged again in the last 24 hours, with Google rolling out Gemini 2.0 Flash across Workspace, Anthropic pushing a major Claude 3.7 Vision upgrade (and yes—Claude still analyzes images, it doesn’t create them), Apple locking in its new “Apple Intelligence” features for iOS 20 ahead of WWDC, Amazon launching Bedrock Agents for enterprise automation, Stability AI dropping a huge quality jump with Stable Diffusion 4.1, Hugging Face unveiling a $200M open‑source compute fund, and Nvidia beginning shipments of its next‑gen Blackwell GPUs. On the crypto side, Bitcoin ETF inflows surged again, the Senate gears up for the CLARITY Act showdown, and DeFi teams scramble to harden security after last week’s exploit wave.
