OpenAI, NVIDIA And Anthropic Just Split. Here's How I'd Spend $20, $60 Or $200.
OpenAI's Jalapeño chip, the Cursor cutoff, and Jensen Huang's answer on NVIDIA's earnings call reveal three different plans for controlling AI. I break down how the OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Anthropic camps actually work, and how I spend $20, $60, or $200 a month without letting one provider hold my memory and my files.

The common story is that this is a race to the best model, but the real question is who controls the system around the intelligence. In this video, I share the inside scoop on how the three AI camps are forming and what that means for the money you spend: Why OpenAI built Jalapeño and what it does not replace How the Cursor cutoff shows a model can vanish from your tool What NVIDIA sells that keeps every camp dependent on it Where I put my $20, $60, and $200 without losing my memory The camps are still forming, which makes this a good moment to keep your own work portable enough to move when they shift.
