This episode covers the high stakes battle between tech giants, massive robotics investments, and the shift toward practical, agentic AI in the enterprise.

• OpenAI launched its latest frontier model, GPT-5.2 (including Instant, Thinking, and Pro flavors), to reclaim leadership in the AI arms race against Google's Gemini 3, focusing heavily on enterprise opportunities and complex reasoning.

• Meanwhile, Disney took parallel actions, signing a major $1 billion deal with OpenAI for its Sora video generator to use iconic characters, while simultaneously sending a cease-and-desist letter to Google alleging "massive" copyright infringement by its AI models.

• In robotics, 1X Neo humanoids, originally designed for the home, have been redirected to industrial use cases like manufacturing and warehousing via a massive deal to ship up to 10,000 units to EQT’s portfolio companies between 2026 and 2030.

• The foundation model race is accelerating, with Skild AI reportedly closing in on a $1B+ investment from SoftBank and Nvidia to build a universal AI "brain" for various robot types, potentially tripling its valuation to $14B.
