🤳 Enterprise AI Enters Its Scale Phase

OpenAI’s new State of Enterprise AI report shows that AI has moved beyond experimentation and into deep operational use. With ChatGPT now serving 800M weekly users, enterprises are rapidly embedding AI into workflows, decision-making, and product development.

The Shift:

1. Adoption Surge - Weekly enterprise messages grew 8×, workers sent 30% more messages, and structured workflows like Custom GPTs are up 19×. Reasoning token use jumped 320×, signaling that organizations are integrating higher-intelligence models into core processes, not just quick queries.

2. Global and Cross-Industry Expansion - Tech, healthcare, and manufacturing lead growth, while finance and professional services scale widest. Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands, and France grew more than 140% YoY, and Japan is now OpenAI’s largest API market outside the US.

3. Workforce Impact - 75% percent of employees report faster or higher-quality output, saving 40–60 minutes daily, with heavy users gaining 10+ hours weekly. AI accelerates IT fixes (87%), campaigns (85%), HR engagement (75%), and engineering velocity (73%).

4. New Capabilities  - AI unlocks new work: coding messages rose 36% among non-technical staff, and 75% say they can now perform tasks previously out of reach. Frontier workers send 6× more messages, and frontier firms 2× more per seat, widening the competitive gap.

AI is now a structural productivity engine, not a novelty. The limiting factor for enterprises isn’t model capability but organizational readiness. Those who systematize AI across workflows, teams, and tooling will compound gains, while slower adopters risk falling permanently behind.

🤖 How to Run AI Models Locally With Microsoft Foundry Local (No Cloud Needed)

Microsoft Foundry Local lets you run AI models directly on your own computer, so your prompts and outputs stay private on your device. Think of it like having ChatGPT style AI running offline, without subscriptions or logins, as long as you pick a model from the supported list.

1. Install it

Windows: type this in Terminal or PowerShell

winget install Microsoft.FoundryLocal

macOS: type this in Terminal

brew install microsoft/foundrylocal/foundrylocal

2. Pick a model and run it locally

Open Foundry Local, choose a model from the available models list, and start it. Your computer does the work, so there is no cloud dependency.

🧵 Claude Code Lands in Slack, Turning Chat Threads Into Coding Workflows

Anthropic is bringing full Claude Code functionality into Slack, letting developers move from conversation to execution without switching tools. The update elevates Slack from a chat space into a hands-on development workflow hub.

The Shift:

1. Native Coding Detection - Tagging @Claude now triggers automatic detection of coding-related messages, routing tasks into Claude Code with all relevant Slack thread context. The system reads bug reports, feature requests, and prior discussion to generate accurate task inputs.

2. Seamless Repo Integration - Claude Code pulls directly from authenticated repositories, identifying the correct repo automatically and using it throughout the workflow. It builds on Claude Opus 4.5’s stronger coding abilities, though safety refusal rates remain an industry concern.

3. Thread-Based Workflow Execution - The Slack integration runs entire coding sessions in-thread, posting progress updates, sharing intermediate output, and maintaining visibility for the full team. Developers can follow along without switching apps or losing context.

4. End-to-End Delivery in Slack - Once coding is complete, Claude sends links to review changes, inspect diffs, and open pull requests directly from Slack, expanding the previous lightweight Claude chatbot into a full workflow engine that can draft fixes, commit code, and surface results within the same thread.

Embedding coding workflows inside Slack reduces context switching, accelerates engineering cycles, and keeps collaboration anchored where teams already communicate. But it also raises the stakes for repo access security and introduces new dependencies on Slack and Claude uptime.

$57 Billion in NVDA Revenue, 62% YoY Growth. And stocks still fell… What now?

Nvidia just posted a record-breaking quarter… yet the markets dropped. Why?

Experts say that even the top AI earnings couldn’t calm the fear of a potential bubble.

After soaring at the open, the S&P reversed sharply, wiping out over $2T of value in hours.

The “Great Bitcoin Crash of 2025” only wiped out ~$1T by comparison.

Wall Street’s finally asking: What if AI isn’t enough?

So, where can investors diversify when public markets stop making sense?

Now, for members-only → blue-chip art.

It’s not just for billionaires to tie the room together. It’s poised to rebound.

With Masterworks, +70k are investing in shares of multimillion dollar artworks featuring legends like Basquiat and Banksy.

And they’re not just buying. They’re selling too. Masterworks has exited 25 investments so far, including two this month, yielding net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*
