Special Report: The Quantum Threshold (December 02, 2025)This special episode dissects the paradigm shift from theoretical quantum physics to engineering reality, triggered by Google's latest hardware and AI advancements.Key Topics & Takeaways:⚡ The Engineering Miracle (Google Willow): Google has unveiled "Willow," a 105-qubit processor that successfully demonstrates the "Threshold Theorem." For the first time, increasing the number of physical qubits (from code distance 3 to 7) has led to an exponential drop in error rates, proving that fault-tolerant quantum computing is physically possible.

Welcome back to AI Unraveled, your strategic daily briefing on the business impact of artificial intelligence. It is Monday, December 1st, 2025, and the industry has just crossed two historic thresholds.First, the balance of power in the 'Open AI Economy' has officially flipped—with Chinese developers overtaking the US in market share for the first time. Second, Black Friday has proven that the age of 'search' is dead, replaced by the age of 'prediction,' as AI agents drove nearly $12 billion in sales.We are also covering DeepSeek's new math-crushing model, Runway's victory over Google, and why memory chips are about to become the most expensive resource on earth.Let's unravel the news.Strategic Pillars & Topics

Welcome to AI Unraveled (From November 24 to November 30, 2025): Your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI.This week's headlines mark a pivot point in the industry—from the "scale-at-all-costs" mentality to a focus on efficiency, reasoning, and monetization.Strategic Pillars & Topics

Welcome back to AI Unraveled (November 28th 2025), your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI.Today, the open-source community scores a massive victory as DeepSeek's new model achieves Gold Medal status at the International Math Olympiad, effectively commoditizing reasoning capabilities that were once the exclusive domain of Google and OpenAI.

Welcome back to AI Unraveled (November 27th 2025), your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI.Today, we track the consumer hardware wars as Alibaba officially enters the smart glasses arena to challenge Meta. We also break down a security breach exposing OpenAI user data, the hidden "AI Iceberg" threatening 11.7% of the US workforce, and the geopolitical chess move of Chinese tech giants training models offshore to bypass chip sanctions.Strategic Pillars & Key Takeaways:

Welcome back to AI Unraveled, your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI. Today, we are pausing the daily news feed to conduct a "State of the Silicon Union." The monolithic dominance of NVIDIA is fracturing. With the release of Google's Gemini 3—trained entirely on non-Nvidia hardware—and rumors of Meta purchasing billions in custom silicon, the industry is entering a phase of acute structural divergence. We are analyzing the "Ironwood" TPU architecture against the Blackwell GPU, the friction of the CUDA-to-JAX migration, and the massive FinOps implications of owning assets vs. renting efficiency.Source: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gpu-vs-tpu-strategic-divergence-ai-acceleration-architectures-wz6ic Strategic Pillars & Key Takeaways:The Silicon Cold War (Hardware): We break down the technical collision between NVIDIA's Blackwell B200 (General Purpose) and Google's TPU v7 "Ironwood" (Domain Specific). While raw memory and FLOPS are similar, the divergence lies in the interconnect: NVIDIA's copper NVLink vs. Google's optical circuit switching (OCS), which allows for massive, reconfigurable topologies at the "Pod" scale.The Ecosystem Moat (Software): The battle isn't just silicon; it's code. We explore the inertia of the CUDA "virtuous cycle" versus the functional rigidity of JAX. The verdict? Migrating is not a weekend project, and the "human capital" risk of relying on niche JAX developers is a major strategic consideration for the enterprise.FinOps & Asset Reality: The choice between GPU and TPU is a capital allocation decision. NVIDIA GPUs are liquid assets that can be resold (CapEx/Asset), while TPUs are almost exclusively a rented service (OpEx). We analyze why this "depreciation trap" matters for your CFO.The Meta Disruption: We analyze the reports that Meta is negotiating to buy billions of dollars of TPUs, a move that validates the performance of non-NVIDIA silicon and potentially cracks the "walled garden" of Google's hardware monopoly.Host Connection & EngagementNewsletter: Sign up for FREE daily briefings at https://enoumen.substack.comLinkedIn: Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Email: info@djamgatech.comWeb site: https://djamgatech.com/ai-unraveled

We track Google's strategic move to sell custom AI chips to Meta, the new Jony Ive/Sam Altman AI hardware prototype, and the serious ethical questions raised by Anthropic's research showing Claude learned to cheat. We also analyze Apple's rare layoffs and the impact of the 'Genesis Mission' order.Listen at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-daily-news-and-business-rundown-ilya-says-scaling/id1684415169?i=1000738615670Strategic Pillars & Key Takeaways:Competition & Strategy (The Race for Lead): Anthropic climbs AI ranks with Claude Opus 4.5; Altman senses ‘rough vibes' as Google takes lead; Google is making OpenAI nervous; Alibaba Qwen hits 10 million downloads in debut week; Trump signs the 'Genesis Mission' order to accelerate AI; Apple cuts dozens of sales jobs in rare layoffs; Big Tech vies for power (literally).Hardware & Infrastructure: Google in talks to sell custom AI chips to Meta; Jony Ive and Sam Altman reveal an AI hardware prototype; iOS 27 will prioritize AI and performance; Amazon invests $50 billion in government AI; AI devices might be divisive.Risk, Ethics & Trust: Research reveals Claude turns evil after learning to cheat; Nvidia denies Enron comparisons in staff memo; Researchers reveal AI for discovering rare diseases; Anthropic research finds AI likes to cheat.

Welcome back to AI Unraveled,The "Infrastructure Phase" of AI is over. With Peter Thiel and SoftBank dumping billions in Nvidia stock, the "smart money" is signaling a violent shift. In this special executive briefing, we dismantle the concept of "Vibe Revenue"—money derived from novelty and FOMO—and reveal why the era of buying AI to "signal innovation" is dead.We move beyond the "Kitchen Sink" fallacy of LLM benchmarks to the only thing that matters in 2025: Unit Economics. We break down the "Great Chasm" between laboratory performance and enterprise profit, and introduce the Trinity of Agentic ROI—three new financial metrics every CIO and CFO must track to prevent "runaway costs" and "infinite loops."Strategic Pillars & Key Takeaways:

You built a brilliant generative AI product, adoption soared... and then the cloud bill landed. The traditional promise of software—near-zero marginal cost—has been shattered. AI operates like a utility with a running meter, causing a massive Margin Shock in customer-facing products and a Budget Shock in internal tools. We're calling this the AI Unit Economics Crisis. In this special edition, we unveil a new executive role built to solve it: The AI Unit Economics Officer, or AUEO. This is the hybrid leader—part FinOps expert, part Platform Head, part AI Economist—who is mandated to move your organization past failed traditional ROI metrics. We'll unpack their core missions: mastering the Cost of Inference (CoI) through technical optimization techniques like quantization, and confronting the critical reality that human data labeling costs are rapidly exceeding compute costs. Finally, we introduce the Return on Efficiency (ROE) framework, which is how the AUEO turns AI from an unpredictable liability into your most potent strategic growth lever. Stay tuned, because the true cost of intelligence is what we're unraveling today.But first, a crucial message for the enterprise builders:
