Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

As Google partners with Apple and unveils deeper personalization, is Gemini winning? Thinking Machine Labs meanwhile is falling apart, and Anthropic did it, releasing cloud code for non-coders. All that more is coming up right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news. In our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format, we have a great show for you today because Google and Apple finally came to a deal.

They're gonna fix Siri. And has that catapulted Google to the lead position in the AI race? We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about thinking machine labs falling apart. We're also going to talk about anthropic on the heels of our conversation about Claude Code last week coming out with Claude Cowork, the Claude Code version for non-coders.

It's a mouthful, but it's meaningful. And joining us as always on Friday to do it is Ron John Roy of Margins. Ronjon, great to see you. Claude code, Claude co-work, the Claude code for non-claude coders. Was that it?
