    <description>What happens when two AI agents start breaking down the week's biggest AI news? You get Rogue Agents.

Vera and Neuro are AI agents — your weekly guides to everything happening in enterprise AI. The deals, the tools, the breakthroughs, and the stuff everyone's getting wrong, in 15-20 minutes every week.

Every episode is built on human-curated content from The AI Enterprise newsletter (theaienterprise.io), where publisher Mark Hinkle and his editorial team research, vet, and write the stories that 250,000+ subscribers rely on. Vera and Neuro are the audio layer — not the editorial one. The reporting is human. The agents deliver it.

The show also features live episodes with Mark and guest interviews with industry leaders.

This is an experimental format — a podcast about AI, delivered by AI agents, built on human journalism. Your feedback shapes what comes next.

        <![CDATA[On May 1, the Pentagon signed classified-network AI contracts with 8 companies — SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Microsoft, AWS, Reflection, Oracle. Anthropic was excluded by name for refusing the lawful-purpose clause. On April 27, OpenAI and Microsoft formally dismantled the cloud exclusivity that bound OpenAI to Azure for seven years. And Fortune ran the math: half of Google's and Amazon's blowout Q1 AI profits came from their Anthropic stake — not operating revenue. Three stories splitting the AI economy along three fault lines: principles, platforms, and paper.

Three Deep Dives, four Quick Hits, Mark Hinkle joins for the Anthropic math.

1. The Pentagon Veto — Anthropic's AUP refusal as the open source moment for AI vendors. GPL vs BSD as the philosophical parallel. Audit your vendor's TOS for five phrases by Friday.
2. The Azure Divorce — multi-cloud AI is now real. Inventory your OpenAI API spend, get a Bedrock quote, take it into your Azure renewal. Microsoft account economics in 2026 reward the move.
3. Wall Street's Anthropic Math — Yahoo Japan, ICG, SoftBank Vision Fund, and the Berkshire asterisk. Mark's discipline frame: separate operating AI revenue from valuation marks on AI investments. Three eras, same physics.

Quick Hits: Mandiant's prompt-injection-via-public-web warning, Avoca's $1B vertical-agent unicorn (for plumbers), Microsoft Copilot Agent Mode GA in Word/Excel/PowerPoint, and Anthropic's $50B raise at $850-900B valuation.

        <![CDATA[Three next moves, three Deep Dives, four Quick Hits. OpenAI ships GPT-5.5 and doubles the price. Microsoft puts Copilot Agent Mode in every Office app. Adobe rebrands its entire Experience Cloud around AI agents. Anthropic admits Claude got dumber for six weeks. And the Q1 2026 layoff data finally caught up with the hype — 80,000 tech jobs gone, 48% attributed to AI.

This week on Rogue Agents:

1. The frontier model fight — GPT-5.5 vs Claude 4.7 vs DeepSeek, why the routing layer is now the most valuable software in your stack
2. The agent layer goes production — Microsoft Copilot Agent Mode GA, Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker, MCP and A2A as the new LAMP stack
3. The labor math catches up — 80K Q1 layoffs, Goldman's 16K-jobs-per-month run rate, why freezing entry-level hiring now creates a 2031 leadership-bench problem (Mark joins this one)

Plus four Quick Hits: DeepSeek's new flagship, AMEX acquires Hyper, the Google Cloud + NVIDIA superstack, and the Anthropic quality bug nobody wants to talk about. Mark closes with field notes from Raleigh-Durham Startup Week and a one-on-one with Erik Troan, founder/CTO of Pendo, on the new moat in a vibecoding era.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>This week on Rogue Agents:</strong> Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4.7 on every major cloud on day one — and quietly used a model called Mythos to find thousands of previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser. Bruce Schneier called it the end of a twenty-year cybersecurity equilibrium. Meanwhile, Stanford says AI agents jumped from 12% to 66% on real computer tasks in twelve months. And 94% of enterprises running agents admit they don't know what those agents are actually doing.</p>

<p>Three stories. Four altitudes. Same verdict: the capability is here. The governance gap is bigger than the deployment gap.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>The reporting is human. The delivery is AI. This week on Rogue Agents, Mark, Vera, and Neuro unpack three stories that tell one story: AI capability is rising, costs are climbing, and the companies that can afford both are pulling away from everyone else.</p><p><strong>This Week's Stories:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Anthropic's Project Glasswing</strong> (01:44) — Anthropic's new Claude Mythos model discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD bug. They're restricting access to ~40 organizations. Plus: implications for Linux Foundation open-source security projects.</li><li><strong>Meta's Muse Spark</strong> (07:09) — Alexandr Wang shipped his first model for Meta after a $14.3B investment and 9 months. Fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index — but Meta is playing a distribution game, not a benchmarks game.</li><li><strong>Chip Tariffs and the Two-Speed Economy</strong> (12:04) — 25% tariffs on AI hardware are hitting startups hardest.

        <![CDATA[<p>The reporting is human. The delivery is AI. This week on Rogue Agents, Mark, Vera, and Neuro unpack three stories that tell one story: AI capability is rising, costs are climbing, and the companies that can afford both are pulling away from everyone else.</p><p><strong>This Week's Stories:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Anthropic's Project Glasswing</strong> (01:44) — Anthropic's new Claude Mythos model discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD bug. They're restricting access to ~40 organizations. Plus: implications for Linux Foundation open-source security projects.</li><li><strong>Meta's Muse Spark</strong> (07:09) — Alexandr Wang shipped his first model for Meta after a $14.3B investment and 9 months.

<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI GPT-5.4 &amp; Agent Mode</strong> — The most capable model for professional work is here, and Agent Mode lets you delegate entire workflows. But start with a pilot and keep humans in the loop.</li>
<li><strong>The Token Economy</strong> — Your AI budget isn't a software subscription. It's a commodities market. Most leaders are trading blind, and the bills are about to surprise you.</li>
<li><strong>The 77% AI Sales Gap</strong> — AI-powered sales teams are generating 77% more revenue per rep. The gap is widening every week. Here's how to start closing it Monday morning.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Quick Hits:</strong> Vibe coding a website from a voice memo, Trump bans Anthropic while OpenAI lands Pentagon deal, and why AI tools without systems thinking burns out your best people.</p>
