Mike Belsito hosts Now Shipping, Mind the Product's weekly AI news briefing for product practitioners. This episode brings together three stories that share a single throughline: the model era is giving way to the deployment era. Belceto unpacks Microsoft's $2.5bn bet on embedded AI delivery, the same company's simultaneous 4,800-person headcount reduction, and an enterprise benchmark study revealing that 71% of executives at billion-dollar companies say their own organisation is the biggest barrier to AI performance.
