Agents, Data, and Global Ambitions
Welcome to onemorethinginai, the go-to podcast for founders, solopreneurs, and operators who don’t have time for hype—but want to stay ahead of what’s real in AI.
In this briefing-style episode, we break down the latest seismic shifts in AI as of May 2025, focusing on what actually matters for builders, tech leaders, and ecosystem strategists.
🚀 1. UAE’s Mega AI Play: Stargate Project
The UAE is not playing small. The Stargate UAE initiative in Abu Dhabi could be the largest AI infrastructure build-out outside the U.S. We’re talking:
A 1-gigawatt cluster by 2026
Nvidia’s cutting-edge GB300 systems
Cisco’s zero-trust architecture
A 10-square-mile AI campus co-run with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank-backed G42
The UAE isn’t just buying chips—it’s positioning itself as the first testbed for OpenAI’s sovereign infrastructure model, beating 9 other countries to the punch.
This move isn’t about free ChatGPT access—it’s about power, data control, and AI GDP.
🤖 2. The Rise of Real Agentic AI: Mistral’s Agents API
AI agents are finally going from duct tape to deployment.
Mistral’s new Agents API is a plug-and-play framework for building production-ready agents that:
Call functions
Search data
Use tools
Retrieve context
And run it all in a single call
No more glue code. No more Frankenstein stacks. Whether you’re building dashboards or automation, this changes your time-to-market.
🧩 3. Uncertain Deals: Grok x Telegram & ChatGPT+ in UAE?
Initial headlines suggested:
Grok AI signing a $300M, 1-year Telegram integration
Free ChatGPT Plus for all UAE residents
But both are unconfirmed. Elon Musk called the Telegram deal premature. UAE sources denied the ChatGPT offer. The real play is deeper: infrastructure, not subscriptions.
Still, if the Grok x Telegram tie-up materializes, it would give Musk’s xAI a data firehose and a global base of privacy-conscious users. Huge upside, but also huge scrutiny.
🗞️ 4. Quickfire AI News You Might’ve Missed

💡 Why This Episode Matters
Governments are investing like VCs.
Infra is the new oil.
And AI agents are moving from prototypes to production.
This episode isn’t about what might happen in 2030.
It’s about what builders and founders can do this quarter.
