Welcome back. Apple is reportedly developing an AI pin — a thin, flat disc about the size as an AirTag but with cameras, microphones, and a speaker. The idea would be that it could understand your personal context and use AI to proactively do helpful things. We saw how well that worked for the ill-fated Humane AI Pin and OpenAI pivoted from a similar product to an AI earbud. The Apple AI pin would need to be worn as a pendant or necklace, which poses multiple problems. Apple is reportedly also working on AI glasses, which would be far more

Hello friends. Welcome to a special edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with DEEL. HOW TO SOLVE THE ROI PROBLEM FOR AI INFERENCE How do you make AI inference affordable enough to deliver real ROI in the enterprise? In Season 2, Episode 1 of The Deep View: Conversations, we talk with Rob May, founder and CEO of Neurometric AI, to break down one of the most urgent challenges in AI today: the soaring cost of inference, and how to bring it down without sacrificing performance. Today's AI is increasingly powerful, but it’s also expensive. For enterprises to see real returns, inference costs have

Welcome back. AI toys aren’t all fun and games. A recent report from advocacy group Common Sense Media published Thursday finds that AI-powered toys can be risky to young children. The report, which tested three popular AI-enabled toys on the market, asserts that these toys collect extensive data on children, risk emotional dependency due to engagement-focused design, and often spewed out inappropriate outputs due to a breakdown in safety guardrails. Though these gadgets may look cute, AI is still AI at the end of the day. — Nat Rubio-Licht IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. ANTHROPIC REWRITES THE BOOK ON CONSTITUTIONAL AI 2. OPENAI NAMES

Welcome back. OpenAI's policy chief confirmed at Davos that the much-anticipated Jony-Ive-designed hardware device is "on track" to be unveiled in the second half of 2026. The device likely won't reach consumers until early 2027. But as I've said before, the fact that OpenAI went back to the drawing board after originally planning to make a device like the ill-fated Humane AI-pin was a smart move. We're now expecting a device more like a smart earbud. Still, when we polled The Deep View audience, only 29% said they would consider buying a new form-factor AI device made by OpenAI. —Jason

Welcome back. Claude Cowork could become the first AI agent to earn mainstream appeal. It generated major buzz last week, and Anthropic has quickly opened it up to more users. Originally limited to $100/month Max subscribers, it's now available on the $20/month Pro plan. Cowork is largely a nice interface for Anthropic's best-known product, Claude Code, a command-line tool that coders had already figured out how to use for building presentations, cancelling subscriptions, controlling smart home devices, and researching vacations. Cowork makes the AI agent accessible to non-coders. I was so interested in trying Cowork that I was considering a

Good morning. Welcome to this special weekend edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with SNOWFLAKE. HOW TO MAKE YOUR AI AGENT PRODUCTION-READY 🚀 Agents often fail in ways you can’t see. These hidden mistakes silently rack up compute costs, spike latency, and cause inflexible behavior that collapses in production. This session introduces the Agent GPA (Goal-Plan-Action) framework, available in the open-source TruLens library. Benchmark tests show that the Agent GPA framework consistently outperforms standard LLM evaluators, providing teams with scalable, trustworthy insight into agent behavior: * 95% error detection (vs. 55% baseline methods) * 86% accuracy in pinpointing where an error

Welcome back. Two of the six co-founders of Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab have left the trendy startup and returned to OpenAI. There's been a lot of drama around the situation and some sharp elbow-swinging on both sides. But don't lose the larger narrative. The battle over AI talent remains fierce in 2026 (further under the radar, OpenAI's safety research lead just changed jerseys to play for Anthropic). But the bigger story might be the commoditization of frontier models. It suddenly looks more appealing to focus on building AI to solve specific problems rather than building the world's single best

Welcome back. OpenAI has quietly launched ChatGPT Translate. It supports 28 languages and comes with a bunch of great tips that are already more useful than what you'll find on Google Translate and other sites. However, Google Translate supports over 240 languages and has its 1,000 Languages Initiative to use AI to expand to all the most common languages on the planet. Language translation is clearly one of the strongest and most useful capabilities of LLMs. Over the past year, I already used standard ChatGPT prompts to effectively translate whole documents many times. While there's a lot of dialogue about

Welcome back. Investors are always chasing the next moonshot. Leave it to a couple of engineers to get it literal about it. Y Combinator, Nvidia, and SpaceX have all invested in a new startup, GRU Space, that aims to build the "First Lunar Hotel" by 2032 and has started taking bookings at $416,667 per night. A video on X shows a brief look at the design. The two-person startup says it will reinvest the profits from its Moon hotel to build structures on Mars, asteroids, and beyond as part of its journey toward Galactic Resource Utilization. At least the brightest minds

Welcome back. Meta is reportedly on the verge of laying off 10% of its metaverse team to make way for more AI spending. The cuts are coming to the Reality Labs division that makes VR headsets and software and employs about 15,000 people. Only a few years ago, they were the future of the company and the reason it renamed itself from Facebook to Meta. Still, Reality Labs is also responsible for Meta Ray-Bans, the smart glasses that Meta (and its competitors developing similar products) is counting on to become the interface that gets a lot more consumers interested in

Welcome back. OpenAI's LinkedIn competitor may arrive sooner than expected. On X, TestingCatalog posted screenshots of a new Jobs tab inside ChatGPT. OpenAI's Fidji Simo announced last September that in 2026 the company would launch its own AI-powered jobs platform, along with a worker certification program to verify AI skills. OpenAI is betting that it can use AI to super-charge matching employees to the best prospective jobs when they open, and do the same for employers looking to find the most outstanding candidates faster and at a higher quality rate than the traditional hiring process. We also shouldn't underestimate the

Good morning. Welcome to this special weekend edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with ASAPP. AI THAT RESOLVES, NOT JUST RESPONDS In 2026, brands won’t be competing on whether they use AI in customer service — they’ll be competing on how well their AI solves problems. The next generation of customer experience will be powered by agentic AI: AI agents that can reason, apply policy, and execute end-to-end workflows across all your systems. This is the shift from: Automation → Execution Conversations → Outcomes This is the agentic enterprise, and it’s built on ASAPP Customer Experience Platform (CXP).

Welcome back. Anthropic president Daniela Amodei joined Yann LeCun and others in casting doubt on whether today's AI is on a trajectory toward AGI, in a CNBC interview this week. Amodei specifically called the idea of AGI "outdated" and no longer useful as a way to think about next-gen AI becoming as capable as a human being. She asserted that AI has already surpassed some humans in a few specific areas, but still falls far short in many others. This is a positive development: seeing the AI industry move AGI out of the realm of Santa Claus and the Tooth
