Compute Wars, Claude Opus 4.7, and the Crackdown on AI Abuse

Claire and Peter break down a packed Friday briefing on AI’s biggest business and tech moves. OpenAI is reportedly lining up a massive multi-year compute deal powered by Cerebras chips, signalling a strategic push to diversify away from Nvidia and secure long-term capacity. Anthropic launches Claude Opus 4.7 with stronger coding and visual reasoning while tightening safety controls, as Germany reviews cyber risks tied to more powerful frontier models. The episode also covers Trend Micro embedding Claude into AI-native security operations, Google’s Gemini-powered fight against billions of bad ads, Canva AI 2.0’s shift toward conversational, agentic design workflows, and Apple’s Siri reboot efforts that include training engineers and leaning on external models. Plus: Japan’s move toward clearer liability rules for deepfakes, Sequoia’s fresh billions for late-stage AI scale-ups, and a cautionary note on “AI pivots” that don’t come with real execution.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
