Description: Host Emily Laird breaks down OpenAI’s $110 billion round like the blockbuster sequel where the budget gets bigger, the stakes get uglier, and suddenly everybody is talking in gigawatts instead of buzzwords. This episode unpacks what Frontier actually is, why AI agents matter beyond the demo stage, and how Amazon, AWS, consultants, and enterprise contracts are turning generative AI into an industrial machine. Less sci-fi magic, more power bills, procurement orders, and boardrooms sweating through expensive loafers.
