Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Sarah and Peter unpack Databricks’ jaw-dropping $100B valuation and what it means for the data-native AI stack. We then dive into a rare mea culpa from Sam Altman as OpenAI backpedals on GPT-5 and unveils plans for trillions in datacentre investment. Plus: Salesforce moves deeper into agent automation with its Regrello buy, market optimism clashes with operational caution, and Zoom’s AI receptionist changes the voice game. Also on deck: DeepMind’s wildlife model, WhatsApp AI privacy concerns, Nvidia’s China chip strategy, fresh polling on public fears, and Horizon3’s pre-IPO signal.
