🔎 Transparent Algorithm #137 | AI enters a new era: the race is no longer just about algorithms, but about geopolitics, infrastructure, and economics. For years, we believed the AI race was simply about building increasingly powerful models. This week's developments show that the real competition has moved elsewhere. 📌 Donald Trump has partially lifted restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos 5, but only for organizations authorized by the U.S. government. Frontier AI models are beginning to be treated as strategic technologies, alongside advanced semiconductors and other critical national capabilities. 📌 Apple enters the John Ternus era amid the first major cost crisis driven by AI infrastructure. Global shortages of memory components are pushing up the prices of MacBooks and iPads. Microsoft is also raising Xbox prices for the same reason. AI infrastructure is now having a direct impact on consumer electronics. 📌 Sakana AI offers a different path with Fugu, a multi-agent orchestration system that coordinates specialized models instead of relying on a single frontier model. In the next phase of AI, resilience may become just as important as raw capability. 📌 Getty Images is moving beyond its legal battles with generative AI by turning its image archive into a strategic asset through its partnership with OpenAI. Licensed content is becoming increasingly valuable in the emerging AI economy. The conclusion of this edition is clear: artificial intelligence is no longer just software. It is now critical infrastructure, industrial policy, supply chains, intellectual property, national security, and geopolitical leverage. Anyone who continues to analyze AI only through the lens of models will miss the most important transformation taking place. 📩 Transparent Algorithm #137 is now available, with editions in Spanish, Catalan, English, French, and Italian. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Anthropic #Apple #Microsoft #OpenAI #GettyImages #SakanaAI #AIInfrastructure #Geopolitics #Technology #DigitalTransformation #GenerativeAI #TransparentAlgorithm
