🎙️ EP 290: $200 GPT Plan Costs OpenAI $14K & GLM-5.2 Crushes Banned Fable 5

A shocking new economic analysis just exposed the brutal reality behind flat-rate AI subscriptions and why tech giants are quietly losing money on power users. At the same time, the global AI race has reached a boiling point as U.S. export bans on Anthropic trigger a massive open-source countermove from China.

We’ll talk about:

• How power users maxing out a $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription can easily burn through $14,000 worth of equivalent compute behind the scenes.
• U.S. regulators forcing Anthropic to abruptly block foreign access to its flagship models, sending its team rushing to Washington D.C.
• China's Zhipu AI immediately capitalizing on the bans by dropping GLM-5.2—a blistering fast, open-source model that just claimed the top spot on major benchmarks.
• European AI champion Mistral AI seeking a massive €3 billion funding round to help Europe build its own sovereign alternative to U.S. tech giants.
