MGX Winner in Anthropic-OpenAI race; Talabat & HungerStation in Focus; Made in Saudi Drones

from The Smashi Business Show · host Augustus Media

From AI megadeals to food delivery consolidation and a new wave of defense manufacturing, today’s stories highlight how capital, technology, and power are converging across the US, Europe, and the Gulf. Anthropic’s rise above OpenAI marks a reshaping of the global AI hierarchy, but Abu Dhabi’s quiet cross-investments tell an even bigger story. Meanwhile, Uber’s push for Delivery Hero puts Talabat and HungerStation in play across the Middle East. In parallel, a US-Saudi venture to build Shahed-style drones in Riyadh signals an accelerating regional race to localize advanced military production. Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dAkTDhJ6WhatsApp: aug.us/40FdYLUInstagram: aug.us/4ihltzQTiktok: aug.us/4lnV0D8Smashi Business Show (Mon-Friday): aug.us/3BTU2MY
