Google Blocks Meta From Gemini

The hosts opened with Google limiting Meta’s access to Gemini capacity and what that says about AI compute constraints, Google Cloud demand, and internal model development. They discussed Google talent departures, OpenAI hiring Apple Vision Pro hardware talent, and Johnny Ive’s broader design track record, including Ferrari’s new EV styling. The conversation then moved into government restrictions on frontier model releases, open source model risks, China’s role in open models, and whether the public will feel the impact of delayed top-tier systems. They closed with GPT-5.6’s model card, Every’s Claude Code infrastructure, and practical questions around local AI models, private data, and deployable tools.
