1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to AI assembled the top AI news for small business.

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm Chris daily and each week I bring you the

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>most important AI developments that can transform your business. Let's

4
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>dive into this week's top stories.

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 2>The fable story we have been tracking for three weeks

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>is finally turning. On June twenty seventh, multiple outlets, led

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>by Axios and confirmed by Reuters reported that the Trump

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 2>administration is close to allowing Anthropic to restore broad access

9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 2>to Claude Fable five. The first concrete move already happened.

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 2>On June twenty sixth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik sent a

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>letter to Anthropic restoring partial access to Mythos five, but

12
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>only for what the government calls ANNEXA organizations. That is,

13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>US critical infrastructure operators, federal civilian agencies, national laboratories, and

14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Anthropics own foreign national staff. Fable five for the rest

15
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>of the world, including paid subscribers and claud code users,

16
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>is still dark as of this episode, but the government's

17
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 2>posture has shifted from suspend and investigate to restore with conditions.

18
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>The expected time line, per Axio sources is days, not weeks.

19
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 2>For a small business. Three things to take from this One,

20
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>A Frontier AI model can come back from a government

21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>shut down, but the shut down itself was real, lasted

22
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>seventeen days, and reshaped how every serious AI operator now

23
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>thinks about single vendor risk. Two. The restoration is happening

24
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>through bilateral letter and license diplomacy between Anthropic and Washington,

25
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>not through any public rule translation. Future suspensions could follow

26
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>the same pattern with the same lack of advance warning. Three.

27
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>If you opened that back up model account we recommended

28
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>last week, do not close it when fable returns. Keep both.

29
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 2>The cost of carrying a second account is small, the

30
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>cost of being single vendor next time. This happens is

31
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>not story two this week, and it lands directly on

32
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 2>the question of who can be trusted with Frontier AI.

33
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Anthropic publicly alleged this week that ali Baba operated nearly

34
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty five thousand fraudulent accounts on Claude, generating more than

35
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight million interactions for the explicit purpose of extracting

36
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Claude's reasoning, coding, and complex task capabilities. If Anthropics account

37
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>is accurate, this is one of the largest model extraction

38
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>operations on record. Ali Baba has not publicly responded as

39
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>of this episode. What it tells small business operators is

40
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>something subtler than the headline. The frontier AI providers are

41
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>now actively defending their models against industrial scale capability theft,

42
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and they are doing it by tightening a abuse detection,

43
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>rate limits and account verification across all customers, not just

44
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the bad actors. So if you have noticed your CLAUD

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>or GPT account hitting rate limits more often, or getting

46
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 2>more identity verification prompts, or experiencing slightly slower agent loops

47
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in the past two weeks, this is part of the

48
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>reason the era of unlimited, anonymous, frictionless AI access is

49
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 2>winding down. Build that into your AI operating assumptions, provision

50
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>more carefully, watch your rate limit logs, and if you

51
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>are an integrator selling AI services to other small businesses,

52
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>expect more verification friction on your customer's accounts, not less.

53
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>The third story is the one that will quietly reshape

54
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>AI pricing twelve months from now. Open Ai introduced its

55
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>first in house AI chip this week, named Halapano, designed

56
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>in partnership with Broadcom and aimed at inference workloads, meaning

57
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the chip that actually runs the model when you type

58
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 2>a prompt, not the chip that trains it. This is

59
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 2>open AI's direct play to reduce its dependence on Nvidia,

60
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the same way Anthropic is leaning on Google TPUs and

61
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Traanium. Three of the four largest AI labs are

62
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>now publicly committed to custom silicon on top of Nvidia,

63
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>not instead of it. For a small business owner, the

64
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>practical implication is straightforward. The cost of AI inference, what

65
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>you pay to run prompts through GPT, Claude or Gemini,

66
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>is structurally set to keep falling for the next twenty

67
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 2>four months as custom chips come online. That is good news,

68
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 2>but it also means any annual AI contract you signed

69
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>today at today's prices will look expensive twelve months from now.

70
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Negotiate one year contracts maximum, push hard for usage credits

71
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>not committed minimums, and if a vendor can tell you

72
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>how their pricing will change as inference costs collapse, that

73
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>is the answer now.

74
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 3>To a story every small business needs to read before

75
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 3>they hand AI credentials to a developer. The fintech startup

76
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Slash disclosed this week that one of its employees building

77
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 3>a small internal video game using AI powered code generation

78
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 3>what the industry now calls vibe coding generated a bill

79
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 3>of eighty one thousand, two hundred and sixty seven dollars

80
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 3>in a single sprint eighty one thousand dollars for a

81
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 3>side project. Slash revised its AI usage policy company wide

82
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.199
<v Speaker 3>in response. The lesson is not that AI coding is expensive.

83
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 3>It isn't when used carefully. The lesson is that a

84
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 3>developer running a front tier model in a loop, without

85
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 3>per task budgets and without alerts can burn through a

86
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 3>small business's entire annual AI budget in a single weekend.

87
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 3>We touched on this last week with the new clawed

88
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>agent SDK billing change. This is the same problem in

89
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>a different costume. Three controls to put in place this week.

90
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 3>If you have any developer, contractor or fractional IT person

91
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 3>with access to your AI accounts. One set hard monthly

92
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 3>spendcaps in every AI account, not soft alerts. Most providers

93
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 3>offer both. Choose the hardcap.

94
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Two.

95
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Separate developer accounts from production accounts. The developer can experiment,

96
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 3>but with a separate, smaller budget.

97
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Three.

98
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Ask your developer for a weekly cost and output report

99
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 3>two sentences. What was run, what it produced, what it cost.

100
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 3>If they cannot produce that report, they should not have

101
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.040
<v Speaker 3>the credentials. This is not about distrust. This is the

102
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 3>same operating discipline you would apply to any new credit

103
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>card you handed to a new hire. Story five, and

104
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 3>this one is for every small business that ships visual content,

105
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 3>which by twenty twenty six is most small businesses at

106
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 3>CONFIG twenty twenty six. This week, Figma launched a new

107
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 3>product called Motion. Motion is an AI powered animation tool

108
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 3>that lives directly inside Pigma. Currently in beta, it lets

109
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 3>a non designer generate advanced animations, transitions, and micro interactions,

110
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 3>the kinds of motion graphics that used to require a

111
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 3>specialist using after effects or a paid animation service. Figma

112
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 3>has spent two years quietly evolving from a design tool

113
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 3>into a full digital product platform, and Motion completes the picture, ideation, design, interaction,

114
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>and now animation all in one subscription for a small

115
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 3>business that runs marketing on Instagram, reels, TikTok, YouTube, shorts,

116
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 3>or any platform where Motion outperforms static. This changes the math.

117
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 3>The work that previously cost three hundred to one thousand

118
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 3>dollars per animation from a freelancer is now a fifteen

119
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 3>minute task inside a tool. Many small businesses already pay

120
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 3>for two practical moves. One, if you already pay for Figma,

121
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 3>check whether Motion has rolled out to your account this

122
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 3>week and try it on one short social post. Two.

123
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 3>If you are paying a freelance animator monthly, ask them

124
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 3>to evaluate motion and tell you which parts of your

125
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 3>pipeline can move in house. Most freelancers will quietly tell

126
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 3>you the truth.

127
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Now a correction, we owe listeners from the last two episodes.

128
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>For the past three weeks, we have been telling small

129
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 2>businesses the Colorado AI Act takes effect June thirtieth, that

130
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>is tomorrow, and to prepare a disclosure page. Here is

131
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the update that changes that picture. On May fourteenth, Colorado

132
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill twenty six Dash one

133
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>eighty nine, which replaces the original Colorado AI Act entirely.

134
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 2>The new law strips out the original duty of care,

135
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the risk management program requirement, and the impact assessment obligations.

136
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>It substitutes a streamlined disclosure and transparency framework focused on

137
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>automated decision making in employment, education, housing, lending, insurance, health care,

138
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 2>and essential government services. And critically, the new effective date

139
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>is January first, twenty twenty seven, not June thirtieth, twenty

140
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. So if you spent the last two weeks

141
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>preparing a Colorado disclosure under the original law, the good

142
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>news is the work you did is not wasted. The

143
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>new law still requires a plain language AI disclosure for

144
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>adverse decisions, with thirty day post decision notices, three year

145
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>record retention, and the right of consumers to request human review.

146
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>The framework is simpler and the deadline moved six months,

147
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but the direction is the same. Every small business making

148
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>consequential decisions about Colorado residents will need a disclosure regime

149
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>by next January. We owe you the corrected time line,

150
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>six months, more breathing room, same direction of travel, and

151
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>one personal story from the host before we close. I'm Chris,

152
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and a few months ago I was given a free

153
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>year of boardy Pro as an early adopter for any

154
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>one unfamiliar. Bordi is an AI networking assistant that you

155
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>call on the phone. It talks to you, learns about

156
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 2>your business, and connects you with relevant people across LinkedIn.

157
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>That is the marketed use case on a whim. This month,

158
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I started asking body to do things it is not

159
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 2>advertised to do. I asked it to draft a sales proposal.

160
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 2>It did. I asked it to put together a one

161
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>page summary report on a market segment. It did that too.

162
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I asked it to outline a sales deck done. The

163
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.200
<v Speaker 2>basic version of boardy is one hundred percent free and

164
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>is quietly capable of work that small business owners are

165
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 2>currently paying twenty to fifty dollars a month for elsewhere.

166
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 2>I am not affiliated with the company. I am just

167
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>a user telling other users what I found. If you

168
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>already use bardy, ask it to find me and connect

169
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>with me Chris host of ai Assembled. If you do

170
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>not use boardy and want an invite, reach out to

171
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>me directly and I will send you one. Worst case,

172
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>you have one more AI tool in your stack that

173
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>costs you nothing. Best case, it replaces a paid subscription

174
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you no longer need. So here is the bottom line

175
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>on this week. Fable is coming back, but on the

176
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>government's terms, not Anthropics. Ali Baba and Anthropic are at

177
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>industrial war over model capability. Theft and the friction is

178
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 2>going to show up on every small business's AI account.

179
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Open Ai just shipped its own chip, locking in the

180
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 2>price collapse that's coming over the next two years. A

181
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>startup just burned eighty one thousand dollars on a vibe

182
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>coding side project, and the same risk lives inside any

183
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>small business with a developer and an AI account. Figma

184
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>added motion graphics to the tool many of you already

185
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 2>pay for. Colorado moved its AI compliance deadline by six months,

186
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and there is a free AI tool called Bordi that

187
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 2>most small business owners do not know can do more

188
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 2>than networking. Here is your five step action plan for

189
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the next thirty days. One keep the backup AI model

190
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>account you opened, do not close it when fable returns.

191
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Single vendor risk is now permanent. Two set hard monthly

192
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 2>spending caps, not soft alerts on every AI account in

193
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>your business. This week. The slash story will repeat. Make

194
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 2>sure it does not repeat at your business. Three. If

195
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you pay for Figma, try motion on one short form

196
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>video this week before you renew any freelance animation contract.

197
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Four update your Colorado AI compliance project plan. You have

198
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>six more months. Use them to build a disclosure framework

199
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>that works for every state, because every state is coming.

200
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Five try boardy this week for one task. It is

201
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>not advertised to do a proposal a deck a report.

202
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 2>If it works that is one paid subscription you can

203
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>cancel next month. That's the brief.

204
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>That's it for this week's AI assembled the top AI

205
