Are current AI models smart enough to rule the world — or just house cats with fancy vocabulary?
This week, a tectonic shift is happening in AI: Meta's chief scientist Jan LeCun quits to chase world models, Fei-Fei Li launches Marble, a spatial intelligence engine, and DeepMind drops CMA-2, a self-taught gamer bot that might be the blueprint for AGI.
Meanwhile, OpenAI releases GPT-5.1 — and China’s Kimi K2 and Ernie 5.0 roll out shockingly powerful, ultra-low-cost models. The AI race isn’t just about intelligence anymore — it’s about who can afford to scale.
If you lead a business, this episode explains why spatial intelligence, not language, may soon be your competitive edge.
The next wave of AI isn’t just about better answers, it’s about deeper understanding, real-world interaction, and models that scale affordably. If you’re not watching spatial intelligence, you’re already behind.
