The AI Chefs Live: Why Gemini is Growing Twice as Fast as Chat GPT

Chef David and Chef Kevin are back in the kitchen with a packed menu of AI news!

First up, a major breakthrough from MIT: a new way for LLMs to "think" that could reduce inference costs by 50%. This could mean fewer massive data centers and a more sustainable AI future.

Next, the Chefs roast Microsoft Copilot. With growth at a sluggish 2% and users (including Chef David) abandoning it for Gemini and ChatGPT, Microsoft is in trouble. Kevin breaks down the "Copilot Confusion" while David highlights data showing Gemini growing twice as fast as ChatGPT.

Then, the conversation turns to the cost of AI. With Microsoft planning to charge per agent and raising M365 prices in 2026, the era of "free AI" is ending. The Chefs debate the scary potential of ads in AI, imagine your "robot friend" recommending a product because it was paid to do so.

Finally, a heartwarming story: David’s 80-year-old parents using AI to run their Bocce league, proving AI really is for everyone.
