On today's Techstrong Gang: a new Futurum report shows 56% of enterprises already run multiple AI model providers, suggesting the model layer is already commoditizing while the real fight moves to orchestration. Mira Murati's Thinking Machines launches Inkling to challenge Chinese open-weight dominance (DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen), with China's Moonshot AI countering via Kimi K3 — a 2.8T-parameter model set to release full weights July 27. Plus, OpenAI's new GPT-Red model beats human red-teamers 84% to 13% on novel attacks, helping make GPT-5.6 six times more resistant to prompt injection. Today's panel: Alan Shimel, Jon Swartz, Mitch Ashley, Yvette Schmitter, and Liz Safran.
