Google just launched TorchTPU with help from Meta.

Here's why Nvidia's software moat is under attack:

CUDA has been Nvidia's real advantage—not the chips. Developers learned CUDA, built on CUDA, locked into CUDA.

But that's changing.

Disney just invested $1 billion in OpenAI.

Here's why this matters more than you think:

When Sora launched in September, it hit #1 on the App Store. It also created a copyright nightmare. Users flooded it with unauthorized Disney characters.

Anthropic just released Opus 4.5—and the focus is explicitly agentic workflows.

First model to break 80% on SWE-Bench verified. Strong performance on tool use benchmarks (tau2-bench, MCP Atlas).

But the real story is in the architecture choices for multi-agent systems.
