That's coming up with MG Siegler of Spy Glass. Right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast, a show for Cool Headed and Nuanced Conversation of the Tech World and Beyond.

Well, we are airing this on Wednesday, September 9th, which means Apple has a big event coming with a slew of new products, and it looks very different from the Apple of old that just seem to refine the existing products we actually have. some new models and brand new ideas coming from the company. So we're gonna discuss all of that. We're also gonna talk about the state of the OpenAI Anthropic and Google competition. Now that OpenAI has released Astra, Anthropic seems to be on the doorstep of an IPO. And Google, of course, is in the middle of some serious changes. Within its AI effort.
