What do Microsoft’s sovereign cloud, Apple’s Liquid Glass design misfire, Meta’s $14.3 billion AI stake, and a philosophical AI reasoning debate have in common? Everything — when the tech titans collide in one seismic week.

This episode kicks off with Satya Nadella’s keynote at the Microsoft AI Tour in Amsterdam, where the company unveiled its most aggressive sovereignty move yet: encryption-in-use and a local sovereign cloud landing zone. Apple, meanwhile, dazzled with Liquid Glass but failed to deliver on AI — sparking criticism over vague promises and the missed connection with ChatGPT. Meta entered the ring with a major minority stake in Scale AI, signaling another strategic “ac-hire.” And Mistral launched a new reasoning model, just as Apple published a paper denying any AI can reason — sparking a continental clash of claims.

Whether you’re here for sovereign tech, slick design, or deep AI philosophy, this episode hits it all.
