    Who Controls AI, Inside the Lab, the Classroom, the App Store, and the Grid

    Claire and Peter unpack a day of stories defined by control. First, reported internal security concerns at OpenAI intensify after a hidden recording device was found in an executive conference room, with the DOJ charging an OpenAI engineer and fresh scrutiny on access controls, collaboration tooling, and internal governance. Then, Google faces backlash over K-12 settings as Gemini and Search become opt-in for student accounts, pushing schools to make clear, configurable decisions about AI access and classroom policy. Apple shifts the platform stakes by opening Siri AI actions across third-party apps via new app skills in an iOS developer preview, changing how users trigger multi-step workflows. On the infrastructure side, Fal raises $1.3B as inference demand surges, while data centre power constraints worsen to the point that some builders are reportedly repurposing old jet engines as a stopgap. Plus, a rapid roundup including Anthropic’s FlashProve, DeepMind contract debate, India’s new offline-capable models, and a striking ChatGPT search share claim.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

    OpenAI tests grid relief, security sprints, and the legal fight over scraping

    In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack the latest signals that AI’s next phase is being shaped as much by infrastructure, security, law, and finance as by model releases. OpenAI pilots a Grid Protectors programme at a Georgia data centre, aiming to free up to 1,000 megawatts during emergencies, a potential template for winning community and utility support for new compute campuses. They also cover OpenAI’s expanded security push, including a new sprint with Cathedral, bigger bug bounty payouts, broader model monitoring, and subsidised access for defenders via the Daybreak initiative.On the legal front, the New York Times and other publishers sue Brave over alleged scraping and paywall bypassing, raising the stakes for any business relying on scraped indexes or real-time content pipelines. Plus, Microsoft returns to the bond market with a $25 billion sale to fund AI and cloud expansion amid huge capex plans, alongside workforce reshaping. Finally, India launches a new DEPA-based handbook for privacy-preserving AI training, built around the idea that the model travels to the data, not the other way around.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

    AI capex reality check, Korea doubles down, orbital data centres stay experimental

    In this episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter track the money, and the growing scrutiny, behind the AI buildout. South Korea signals a major escalation in state-backed investment, allocating 21.3 trillion won (about 16 billion dollars) for chips and AI in 2027, spanning data centres, robotics and defence modernisation. They then look at the latest orbital compute hype versus physics and economics, after Google cautions that space-based data centres could be up to 100 times more expensive than terrestrial builds, even as it tests Project Suncatcher with TPU hardware in orbit.Markets, meanwhile, are turning pickier. Kioxia drops on weak guidance despite AI-related demand, highlighting how shipment timing and product mix are now under the microscope, while peers with clearer forward visibility are rewarded. The conversation widens to broader AI capex jitters ahead of major earnings, with projections that hyperscaler spending could approach 800 billion dollars this year and rise further by 2027, pushing CFOs and strategy teams to justify ROI and payback timelines.On the research front, they cover Agentic World Modeling, a read-only approach to safer agent planning in persistent enterprise environments, plus quick hits on AI-powered sympathy scams, data centre rebranding chatter, and new findings on LLM behaviour under chain-of-thought monitoring.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

    Coding agents get proactive, industrial AI speeds up factories, and chips, courts, and context heat up

    In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter cover a busy slate of AI shifts across software, industry, geopolitics, and regulation. DeepSeek unveils Super-agent, an open-source coding agent designed to monitor developer group chats and suggest fixes without being prompted, signalling a move from reactive assistance to lower-touch, more autonomous workflows. In industrial AI, HD Hyundai Robotics and Palantir report major productivity gains, cutting robot programming time from 21.5 days to 7.9 days by combining AI, simulation, and engineer oversight.They also unpack chip politics after reports involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and why semiconductors, access, and national strategy are becoming inseparable. On the infrastructure front, a judge allows an NAACP lawsuit against xAI to proceed over alleged Clean Air Act violations, adding pressure to the environmental and legal foundations of data centre expansion. Finally, Context Labs launches AI Distillery, positioning governed, traceable enterprise context as a durable asset that can outlast any single model, plus a rapid roundup touching Apple’s AI stance, OpenAI’s funding expectations, Delhi’s AI-supported anti-pollution enforcement, and the rise of agent-to-agent negotiation.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

    Satellite haikus, robots.txt for AI training, and Open USD for agent payments

    Claire and Peter break down today’s biggest AI shifts on AI in Flow. First, Google’s Project Suncatcher prototype satellite runs an onboard Gemma 4 model on TPUs in orbit and beams back a haiku, raising real questions about reliability under radiation and thermal stress, and what scalable off-planet compute could mean next. Then, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic back a shared robots.txt policy token via the IETF, giving publishers a more centralised way to express AI training preferences. Plus, OpenAI tightens violence prevention safeguards in ChatGPT with earlier interventions and expanded reporting, Apple rolls out Apple Intelligence in China with iOS 27.3 (without the new Siri), and major payments players launch Open USD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin pitched as infrastructure for programmable, agentic commerce. Quick hits include DoorDash’s early AI agent order volumes, Wikimedia’s warning on copyright rulings and the open web, Anthropic’s expected high junk rating post-IPO, and Sam Altman on RAM, tokens, and pricing.About Six & Flow Six & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
