| 0:00.0 | The EU has just hit pause on its own AI Act, and the entire compliance map for 2027 is now up in the air. |
| 0:07.6 | Before that, Google's Athletica just cracked math problems that no human had solved. |
| 0:13.4 | OpenEI's CFO is reportedly at war with Sam Altman over $660 billion in compute spending, |
| 0:20.6 | and Big Tech earnings week kicks off tomorrow. |
| 0:23.6 | So there's a whole bunch of questions that are going to be hanging around over AI and ROI that |
| 0:27.6 | we're going to be covering. Let's get into it. So first I wanted to talk about Google deep mind. |
| 0:32.5 | They've just dropped Athletica this week. This is an autonomous math agent. And it's actually just |
| 0:37.0 | built on top of Gemini |
| 0:38.3 | 3 deep think and the results that it has been producing are really wild. So on the first |
| 0:44.9 | proof challenge, which is basically a benchmark of unsolved or really complex kind of novel |
| 0:50.2 | math problems, Athletica actually produced solutions that according to human expert |
| 0:54.8 | evaluators were graded as, quote, publishable after minor revisions, meaning like it basically got |
| 1:00.2 | it there. There might been a couple tweaks, but I mean, it solved these really complex math |
| 1:03.6 | things to a high level, which was basically ready to get published. And it actually did this on |
| 1:09.2 | six out of ten questions that it was given. |
| 1:11.4 | It also scored above 91.9% on the IMO proof benchmark. And J. Midha at A16Z called it the moment, |
| 1:21.1 | quote, AI math went from playing the game to writing the rules. I think that's kind of a fair |
| 1:25.6 | framing. Because up until this point with all of the |
| 1:27.8 | different AI models, proving these kind of novel theories is one of the hardest possible tests for |
| 1:33.6 | these AI agents. And Athletica just did it. Sony is also coming out swinging. So they have something |
| 1:39.4 | called Sony AI and they have a project called Ace and they just published on this their project that was |
| 1:45.5 | just published on the cover of nature, one of the, you know, top journals for science this month |
