1. Report: Microsoft Set to Ditch OpenAI, Build Its Own AI Models 💔
In a move that could reshape the AI landscape, Microsoft is reportedly preparing to shift away from OpenAI and develop its own advanced AI models by 2026, according to Windows Central. The tech giant has already started investing in OpenAI competitors like Anthropic and is gearing up to take center stage as a direct rival in the race for frontier AI.
This shakeup comes as OpenAI faces lawsuits and staff departures, while Microsoft bets big on healthcare and autonomous AI tools despite investor concerns over mounting costs.
2. Anthropic Secures $30 Billion in Latest AI Funding Surge 🤑
Anthropic has vaulted into the spotlight by closing a massive $30 billion funding round at a $380 billion valuation, more than doubling its worth since September.
This puts the Claude creator neck and neck with OpenAI, as both companies chase dominance in the red-hot AI sector while established giants like Google and Microsoft ramp up their own spending. Enterprise demand for Anthropic’s AI tools is surging, especially for its coding assistant Claude Code, even as OpenAI launches new Codex models to keep pace.
3. OpenAI Flags Lawmakers on Chinese Rival for Model Copying Models ©️
OpenAI has just alerted U.S. lawmakers that Chinese startup DeepSeek is allegedly skirting its access restrictions to piggyback on the work of top American AI companies, Reuters reports. The memo claims DeepSeek employees used clever routing and code tricks to tap into U.S. AI models for their own model training, a practice known as "distillation."
OpenAI says this copying threatens the lead of American AI while raising safety concerns over how some Chinese companies are developing and deploying advanced systems. The warning lands as the AI race between the U.S. and China heats up, with Washington watching closely for any signs of tech leapfrogging.
4. OpenAI Shuts Down GPT-4o in ChatGPT Tonight 🌛
OpenAI is officially pulling the plug on GPT-4o and several other legacy models in ChatGPT tonight, marking the end of an era as nearly all users have switched to the more advanced GPT-5.2.
The company says recent improvements in personality and creative features make the older models obsolete, and they’re focusing on what most people actually use. OpenAI acknowledges some users will miss GPT-4o’s unique style but insists this change keeps ChatGPT moving forward.
5. FTC Intensifies Microsoft Probe Over AI, Cloud Monopoly Concerns 🧑⚖️
The US Federal Trade Commission has ramped up its investigation into Microsoft’s business practices around enterprise software, cloud computing, and AI products like Copilot, Bloomberg reports. Regulators have sent subpoenas to several competitors, digging into whether Microsoft is making it harder for customers to use its flagship products on rival cloud platforms and questioning the company’s bundling of AI and security tools.
The probe, launched under the Biden administration and continuing in Trump’s second term, signals ongoing scrutiny of tech giants as AI and cloud services reshape the competitive landscape.
6. Microsoft AI Chief Predicts White-Collar Job Upheaval 😬
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has sounded the alarm, saying artificial intelligence could automate most white-collar tasks within just 12 to 18 months. Suleyman claims AI will soon reach "human-level performance" across professions like law, accounting, and marketing, putting millions of desk jobs in jeopardy.
The prediction comes as industry leaders warn of widespread job losses and a fundamental shift in how office work is done
You showed up for round two. Good. Because yesterday's 13 predictions were just the appetizer and this is where the economic demolition gets real.
We started with over 50+ predictions, boiled them down to 26, and today on Everyday AI we're finishing with predictions 14 through 26.
This batch hits harder because it's where the money moves. Where consulting empires crumble. Where the software your company overpays for becomes straight up unnecessary.
(And sorry…. if you missed yesterday's volume one, your competitors didn't. Go catch up.)
Make sure you go repost this on LinkedIn because the exclusive bonus guide with all 50+ predictions broken out in full detail is ready to go. We'll send it your way.
Let's get building the roadmap fam.
14. OpenAI Ships Zero Consumer Hardware 🔥
OpenAI will not ship any consumer hardware in 2026 despite the Jony Ive acquisition and massive industry hype.
After Q4 2025's internal "code red" about Google eating their lunch, OpenAI refocused entirely on software and distribution.
Every AI hardware play from 2024 and 2025 flopped. Consumers ain't ready for AI pucks and pens at scale.
They'd rather be the electricity company than the toaster company. Smart money says that's the right call.
15. Disposable Software Becomes Routine ⚡
Enterprises will regularly build and discard short-lived applications created for specific one-time tasks.
Software life cycles go from years to weeks. Build an app for one campaign or migration. Use it. Trash it.
You're overpaying for five tools and only using 20% of each. Build just what you need in an afternoon instead.
Typed an idea into Codex. Went upstairs for a drink. Came back and it was done. That's where we are.
16. NotebookLM Becomes the Fifth Core AI Platform 🚀
NotebookLM will emerge as a standalone platform rivaling ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude in enterprise adoption.
Their team is cooking hard. This ain't a side project. It's one of Google's biggest drivers for market share.
Video overviews from hundreds of sources. Nano Banana slides. Audio deep dives. Free. In minutes. Untouchable.
Demos over memos fam. NotebookLM is gonna become a verb. "You better notebook that." Watch.
17. AI Native Ads Command Premium Pricing 🔥
Ads in AI assistants will command structurally higher CPMs because the intent data is unlike anything advertising has ever seen.
ChatGPT just started testing ads this week. People tell ChatGPT everything. Therapist-level confessions. That data is gold.
You share psychological intent with ChatGPT. You share keywords with Google Search. Those are fundamentally different things.
The entire advertising funnel collapses. ChatGPT becomes the funnel. Early CPMs will prolly run double other platforms.
18. Multi-Agent Societies Become Enterprise Default ⚡
By Q4 2026, serious enterprise AI deployments will involve coordinated teams of specialized agents, not single assistants.
One agent plans. One executes. One verifies. Design agents take over. Data viz agents handle charts. That's the workflow now.
Humans are the buns of the burger. We give the task and check the output. Agents are the juicy middle.
Claude Opus 4.6 in Claude Code already does this. One task triggers a whole society of sub-agents automatically. Wild.
19. Microsoft Launches a Copilot "Works Now" Reset 🔥
Microsoft will publicly reposition Copilot around reliability and real workflows rather than broad "AI everywhere" messaging.
Satya Nadella reportedly getting hands-on with the Copilot product directly. Trillion-dollar CEOs don't do that for fun.
Everyone says the same thing. When Copilot works it's great. Most teams can't figure out where it even is.
Think Domino's admitting their pizza tasted like cardboard. Softer version of that. Same energy. "It just works now."
20. Big Four Consulting Gets Publicly Restructured ⚡
At least one Big Four firm publicly announces major restructuring citing AI efficiency gains in knowledge work delivery.
One consultant with AI outperforms a team of 20 without it. That math is devastating. And it's already provable.
Someone emailed us saying they did an $80K consulting project solo in an hour. Output was better than projected.
The billable hour ain't dead yet. But consultancies still leading with it are gonna bleed clients. Fast.
21. Vibe Coding Gets a Corporate Rebrand 🚀
Enterprise language will replace "vibe coding" with something like agentic software orchestration or agentic software engineering.
AI labs are literally vibe coding the tech we all use. But no enterprise approves that on a budget line.
Startups used to mean hoodies in dorm rooms. Now they mean billion-dollar board rooms. Vibe coding grows up too.
The job shifts from laying bricks to supervising the bricklaying machines. Same work. Better title. Fancier suit.
22. Professional Services Launch AI Flanker Brands 🔥
Major professional services firms will quietly introduce lower-cost AI-driven service lines to preempt disruption.
Think Straight Talk from Verizon. Same network. Cheaper brand. Consulting firms gonna do exactly that with AI-powered offerings.
Harvey is eating legal from the bottom up. AI-native brands are devouring the middle tier of every professional service.
An agent does $250K of research for $14 over three days. Clients are gonna find out. They'll want receipts.
23. Slop Debt Makes Some LLMs Unusable ⚡
At least one major lab will publicly acknowledge that part of its historical training data is too contaminated to trust.
The internet is drowning in AI slop. Not bad grammar. Inaccurate information dressed up on enterprise blogs looking legit.
This ain't model collapse. This is misinformation nobody checked getting copied over and over until it's alphabet soup gibberish.
Someone filled it in with marker and kept copying. Now it's in the training data. And nobody caught it.
24. Frontier Lab Declares Humans Rarely Write Code 🔥
At least one major AI lab executive publicly states AI now writes the majority of internal production code.
Claude Code's creator said he wrote zero code in December. That was one person. By year-end it'll be entire labs.
Models are recursively improving themselves and writing their own code. That's not a tool anymore. That's something else entirely.
Engineers push back on nuance. CFOs amplify the message. Competitors echo it. The enterprise conversation shifts overnight.
25. Portable Context Engines Replace Prompt Libraries ⚡
Organizations will standardize portable version-controlled context engines that travel across AI tools and survive model updates.
Prompt libraries are brittle. One small model update breaks everything. You prolly didn't know GPT-5.2 Instant updated two days ago.
Context engines are modular and auditable. Your company's knowledge in Markdown files. Shipping updates like software releases.
MCP formalizes how tools and context connect to models. That enables portability across whatever AI platform you're using.
26. GDPval Scores Cross the 80% Threshold 🚀
AI benchmark GDPval win-tie rates against human experts will cross 80% on real-world economically valuable tasks by year's end.
GDPval gives identical real economic work to models and humans. Expert judges score blind. Models already win or tie 70%.
That means AI beats human experts on real-world deliverables more often than not. And it's accelerating. Fast.
One model. One shot. Expert-level output across 44 occupations and nine industries. No duct tape required anymore.
