OpenAI just raised the biggest round in tech history, but they’re already "compute-starved." We’re diving into why Sam Altman is killing standalone products to build one "Superapp" to rule them all. Plus, Elon Musk just changed the game with a $1.75 trillion SpaceX IPO that officially folds in xAI.

We’ll talk about:

• Why OpenAI is pivoting to a single AGI machine, the mysterious "Spud" model, and the automated researcher coming this fall.
• Inside the "final boss" of IPOs—how Musk is building the high ground by owning the rockets, the satellites, and the AI.
• Anthropic mapped the neurons for fear and joy inside Sonnet 4.5, and the results are a little too human for comfort.
• The new local-first open models that are fast enough to run autonomous agents right on your device.
• Why OpenAI is paying 4,000 specialists $50/hour to teach ChatGPT the "secrets" of their trades.
