Microsoft Picks Claude, the OpenAI Paradox, and the Vibe Coding Reckoning
Mark Hinkle joins Vera and Neuro for Episode 2. Microsoft powers Copilot Cowork with Claude despite its $135B OpenAI investment — a real-world signal that multi-model strategy is no longer optional. Then: the OpenAI paradox where GPT-5.4 is genuinely excellent but 1.5 million users are boycotting over the DoD contract. Plus, the vibe coding reckoning — why domain expertise and security review are the new bottleneck. Quick Hits: Yann LeCun's $1.03B AMI Labs raise, Google's $32B Wiz acquisition, and the software stock rebound.

Vera and Neuro break down the biggest AI stories of the week: OpenAI's GPT-5.4 and Agent Mode hit production, why token economics is the new cloud bill, and AI-powered sales teams pulling 77% more revenue per rep.
