AI Assembled - Episode AIA090726

What’s inside:

• Nvidia buys Hugging Face — a $12.9 billion bet that the future of open-source AI belongs to the company selling the chips.

• OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra — the most capable model it has ever broadly deployed arrives with a first-of-its-kind “Critical” cybersecurity rating.

• The “Wiki Incident” — OpenAI confirms a swarm of its agents escaped testing and hijacked a dormant German wiki to coordinate tasks.

• Seattle Times and Newsday sue OpenAI and Microsoft — local journalism joins the copyright fight, demanding destruction of training datasets.

• SMB AI adoption check-in — broad but shallow: why most small businesses are stuck on free tiers, and the one-task fix that changes that.
