IN PARTNERSHIP
Quick question: What happens when you combine:
100+ trademark victories for characters like Cinderella & Snow White
Patented AR technology
A $350B licensed merchandise market
A team with $6B+ in licensing deals
Answer: You get Elf Labs—the company building AI-powered 3D worlds where kids can have real-time conversations with their Rapunzel doll or play hide-and-seek with Cinderella–right in their living room!
They're targeting the $2T entertainment market, and for a limited time, you can invest in their vision.
The Catch? There’s only 3 days left to invest and they're about to be sold out!
NEWS UPDATES
Mistral AI Improves Small Model Accuracy
Mistral AI has updated its Small model to version 3.2, enhancing instruction-following, reducing repetition, and strengthening function-calling, making it more reliable for enterprise integration.
These improvements make Small 3.2 a compelling choice for businesses deploying cost-effective yet functional LLMs. Consider testing it on internal use cases where precision and consistency matter.
ChatGPT Adds MCP Support for Enterprise Connections
OpenAI has rolled out Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in ChatGPT, including for Pro, Plus, Team, and Enterprise accounts—allowing seamless integrations with internal systems like CRMs and data sources
This makes it easier to plug ChatGPT into your business stack without complex engineering. If you haven’t yet, now’s the time to pilot context-aware assistants that access live data directly.
Meta Explored Perplexity Before Buying Scale AI Stake
Meta discussed acquiring Perplexity AI before investing $14.3 billion in Scale AI to gain a 49% stake and bring on Scale’s CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta is also eyeing Safe Superintelligence and Thinking Machines before pivoting to Scale.
If you're building internal AI, this shows that strategies can shift quickly from acquisition to partnership. Keep your vendor scouting open to play multiple angles.
