Grok 4, Windsurf, AI talent wars, BILT's Series C

What do Love Island and BILT have in common?

They both just had a major breakup this season.

BILT and Wells Fargo officially called it quits, something our OG podcast listeners might remember we predicted back in our very first episode.

So far, BILT is winning the break up. BILT just raised $250M at a $10.75B valuation. Fintech valuations seem to be back, but Maya (aka our resident Fintech guru) has some doubts about how bright BILT’s future in the mortgage market is.

We unpacked why Grok had an identity crisis and started calling itself "MechaHitler”. We also talked about how Grok 4’s benchmarks are impressive, but it still faces an uphill battle for user adoption.

Plus, we break down the drama behind Google's $2.4B deal with Windsurf and what it means for tech employees.
