Talent Raids, Model Bans, and AI’s New Infrastructure Reality

Claire and Peter break down a packed day in AI: Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer departs Google for OpenAI, Meta loses a key leader driving internal AI transformation, and the US orders Anthropic to halt foreign national access to two advanced models amid security concerns—fueling a wider G7 push for shared safety standards. They also cover Microsoft’s role selling OpenAI models into China via Azure, China’s STAR Market opening further to cash-burning LLM developers, Databricks’ cost-aware agentic push in India with model routing, Apple warning that AI-driven memory demand could raise hardware prices, and new evidence that hospitals face greater blame for AI diagnostic errors unless clinicians are visibly involved. The throughline: AI is becoming infrastructure—shaped by talent, policy, supply chains, and trust—so businesses should prioritise resilience with multi-model strategies, governance, and cost controls.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
