Everyone said AI was going to kill the app store, but it turns out the exact opposite is currently

happening.

App launches are up 60% year over year and over 100% so far in April.

So we're going to break down why.

And spoiler alert, it is because of AI.

Open AI is shutting down SORA next Sunday, April 27th, and the head of SORA, the product

chief, and the enterprise CTO all walked out the door on the exact same day.

Something is happening inside of Open AI, and I want to talk about it.

The next thing is that Sarah Bress, the AI chip company, just filed for an IPO, 23 billion

dollar valuation and a $10 billion deal with Open AI and a new

agreement with AWS. The CEO is openly saying they took the fastest inference business at

Open AI away from Nvidia. This is quite a big claim. The next thing is that Stanford's new

AI index just dropped and the performance gap between the best

US and Chinese models has collapsed to a 2.7% lead in favor of the United States. Also in the same

report, AI agents jumped from 12% success on real computer tasks to 66% in one year. So we're going to get into all of that. And personally,

I'm seeing a lot there. The other store that I want to talk about is that Anthropic just passed

Open AI in revenue, $30 billion in annualized versus $25 billion for Open AI. And they did it while

training their models with way less compute. This is probably the most insane thing I've seen in a long time once you start looking at

these charts.

And if you've been trying to figure out how to actually use AI for your work, not just

chatting with one model, but actually building little automations to save you time,

check out my own startup, AIbox.ai.
