Microsoft Copilot Wave 3, Google's Multimodal Embeddings, and Anthropic's Pentagon Saga

In this episode, we discuss Microsoft's Copilot Wave 3 announcement and its new ninety-nine dollar per user E7 Frontier Suite, Google's first multimodal embedding model Gemini Embedding 2 Preview, and Anthropic's ongoing relationship with the Pentagon. Microsoft's Copilot now supports both OpenAI and Anthropic Claude models, turning it into a model orchestration layer with agentic capabilities through Agent 365 and a new organizational intelligence feature called Work IQ. Google's multimodal embedding model maps text, images, video, audio, and PDFs into a unified space, unlocking powerful cross-modal search for enterprise retrieval augmented generation systems. We also cover the Pentagon memo extending limited Anthropic use beyond its planned phase-out and the TIME cover story that has thrust Anthropic's federal dispute and safety policy shifts into the mainstream spotlight.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, the U.S. Department of Defense, TIME, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
