Could OpenAI fill Microsoft’s shoes?

OpenAi recently announced a $ 200 million deal with the US Department of Defense, which is asking us: could this be able to further tax the relationship of the company with its biggest backer, Microsoft?

After all, there have been countless reports about the growing tensions between the two companies, especially as they become more competitive about Enterprise Deals.

Nowadays on WAN’s Equity Podcast Anthony HA and Max Zeff discuss how the OpenAI/DOD -deal reflects the increasingly pleasant relationship of Silicon Valley with the army and why industry leaders reflect an AI “weapon race”.

Listen to the full episode to hear more highlights of the week, including:

• Whether it is a good thing that vice -president JD Vance came to Bluesky (and was suspended briefly)
• What it means that WIX has acquired a six-month-old ‘atmospheric coder’ startup for $ 80 million (and why Anthony hates the expression ‘atmospheric coding’))
• A panel in which investor Ali Partovi and Cognition President Russell Kaplan discuss what technical talent means in the AI ​​era

Equity will be back next week, so keep an eye on it!
