When Spirit Airlines went bankrupt, its planes and gates weren't the only assets on the auction block โ Google paid $10 million for its data. Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias use that sale to dig into what's actually valuable in AI right now: not bigger models, but the specialized data only your organization holds. They trace the Spirit Airlines deal, unpack OpenAI's Astra model solving open math problems that had stumped researchers for decades, and explain Neoclouds, the specialized companies renting out the GPU capacity behind the AI boom. They also break down Google's fast, cheap Gemini 3.7 Flash release and why it might be all the model most associations need. Amith makes the case that associations sitting on rich member and industry data have a real opportunity to build and monetize AI products, not just cut internal costs. ย ๐ค Join the AI Mastermind: https://sidecar.ai/association-ai-mastermind
