A shocking new economic analysis just exposed the brutal reality behind flat-rate AI subscriptions and why tech giants are quietly losing money on power users. At the same time, the global AI race has reached a boiling point as U.S. export bans on Anthropic trigger a massive open-source countermove from China.

We’ll talk about:

How power users maxing out a $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription can easily burn through $14,000 worth of equivalent compute behind the scenes.
U.S. regulators forcing Anthropic to abruptly block foreign access to its flagship models, sending its team rushing to Washington D.C.
China's Zhipu AI immediately capitalizing on the bans by dropping GLM-5.2—a blistering fast, open-source model that just claimed the top spot on major benchmarks.
European AI champion Mistral AI seeking a massive €3 billion funding round to help Europe build its own sovereign alternative to U.S. tech giants.
