| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're covering a bunch of |
| 0:04.6 | different news stories. Open AI is reshuffling their leadership. They're trying to get back a bunch of |
| 0:09.9 | lost ground on enterprise, which it feels like Anthropic has kind of been beating them at for a while now. |
| 0:15.9 | There is a key opening eye infrastructure partner that has just hit unicorn status. And of course, there's a whole wave |
| 0:21.9 | of inference startups that are showing basically where I think a lot of the AI money is actually |
| 0:27.2 | going to be flowing in 2026. Plus, I want to break down a new benchmark that shows why white |
| 0:32.1 | colored jobs are actually not disappearing nearly as much as they were predicted in the past. |
| 0:37.0 | And again, a former Sequoia |
| 0:39.5 | partner is betting that AI agents can finally fix calendar scheduling if you want to get into |

| 1:12.0 | Brett Zof to lead their enterprise sales efforts. Zof is pretty familiar inside of the company. He |
| 1:18.0 | previously was the vice president of post-training inference before he left in 2024 to go |
| 1:23.5 | co-found thinking machine labs with former Open Eye CEO or or cTO miriam ratty so this i mean just |
| 1:30.4 | in and of itself this got a lot of headlines the fact that he left open ai to go found this company |
| 1:35.4 | and then you know they raised like a billion dollars and less than a year later before any products |
| 1:39.0 | were shipped he came back to open ai and what you know it's like has this new role inside, which is kind of funny. |
| 1:45.3 | He came back last week, and I think there's not like a lot of new, like, circumstances that |
| 1:50.6 | we know about why he left thinking machine labs. So that's pretty unclear. The timing is pretty |
