EP 613 : OpenAI vs SpaceX: Cursor Cutoff, Hugging Face’s $399 Duck Robot & AI Race Updates

🚀 This week’s AI & robotics roundup drops a bombshell: OpenAI is pulling the plug on SpaceX‑owned Cursor, turning a contract dispute into a full‑blown power struggle between two tech titans. With Elon Musk’s SpaceX now at the helm of the coding‑tool startup, OpenAI warns it can’t trust the new owner to follow its terms – a move that signals model access is becoming a strategic weapon in the next AI war. We break down what the November 12 cutoff means for developers, how Anthropic is stepping in with Claude support, and why the battle over who gets to host the next generation of models could reshape the entire ecosystem.Meanwhile, Hugging Face has gone viral with the $399 "Microduck" – a cute, roller‑skating duck robot that waddles.In the robotics arena, Generalist rockets to a $3 billion valuation after a $200 million Series B infusion, touting a Gen 1.5 model that learns new tasks from three‑second video clips.We also spotlight today’s hottest productivity tools: Viktor.com’s AI coworker that actually does the work, Caddi’s one‑shot agent builder, Lenz’s multi‑model fact‑checking API, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash for video generation, OpenTag’s Slack/Teams AI assistant, and Firecrawl Developer Index’s 70 M+ curated artifacts for coding agents.🔊 Tune in for the full analysis, share with fellow AI enthusiasts, and hit subscribe so you never miss a beat in the fast‑moving world of artificial intelligence and robotics.Tools mentioned: Viktor.com, Caddi, Lenz, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, OpenTag, Firecrawl Developer Index.
