Applied AILaunching a business in 2026? Use these 7 AI tools
The default playbook for new businesses now bakes in a stack of AI tools from day one—founders are designing operations around automation, not adding it later. If you’re an incumbent, assume your next wave of competitors will have structurally lower overhead and faster experimentation cycles.
Applied AIThe AI cloud math is broken, and it’s creating a power shift within Big Tech
When buying AI hardware outright beats renting cloud AI, the balance of power shifts toward whoever controls capex, power, and datacenter buildout—not just API endpoints. If you’re a heavy AI user, you should be running TCO models on reserved cloud, managed neocloud, and owned clusters rather than assuming hyperscaler on-demand is default.
Applied AIMatt Clifford's move to Anthropic draws criticism: 'Not cool'
