AI is probably the most important thing humanity has ever worked on. I think of it as something more profound than electricity or fire.

Welcome to another edition of the Be10x AI Pulse.

This week kicked off with corporate drama worthy of a Silicon Valley thriller. Elon Musk's xAI is suing a former engineer for allegedly stealing trade secrets before jumping to OpenAI, while Meta's high-profile Superintelligence team faces early departures and internal chaos. Meanwhile, the technology itself keeps advancing—from AI stethoscopes detecting hidden heart problems to world models that turn single photos into explorable 3D environments.

Let's dive in!

Elon Musk's xAI filed a lawsuit against former engineer Xuechen Li, accusing him of stealing Grok trade secrets days before selling $7M in equity and joining OpenAI. Li, one of xAI's first 20 engineers, allegedly downloaded confidential AI tech "with features superior to ChatGPT" to personal devices, then tried covering his tracks by deleting logs and renaming files. xAI is seeking an injunction to block Li from working at competitors and demanding monetary damages.

The AI talent wars are officially out of control, with engineers carrying billions in IP both in their heads and laptops. This xAI-to-OpenAI move will only deepen tensions between Musk and his former company.

Imperial College London researchers developed an AI-powered, card-sized stethoscope that detects major heart issues in seconds. Testing across 200 doctors' offices with 12,000+ patients showed 2x higher heart failure detection rates, 3.5x better atrial fibrillation detection, and nearly double the diagnosis rate for valve disease. The device analyzes heartbeat patterns and blood flow variations undetectable to human ears while capturing ECG readings simultaneously.

This is AI medical tools at their best, upgrading a device barely changed since the 1800s into a proactive prevention powerhouse. The UK rollout could save countless lives through early detection.

Anthropic announced a $13B funding round valuing the company at $183B, nearly tripling its worth from six months ago. The company now serves 300,000+ enterprise customers, with $100k+ annual accounts growing sevenfold in 2025. Claude Code alone generates $500M annually with 10x usage growth in three months. Notably, QIA became the first Middle East investor, marking a shift in Anthropic's previous geographic restrictions.

While AI investment bubble chatter continues, dollars aren't drying up for frontier leaders. The expensive global compute race may be changing perspectives on funding sources.

When a major Indian telecom provider, Airtel, partnered with the AI-powered search engine Perplexity AI, it set in motion a collaboration that would provide 360 million of its customers with a complimentary one-year subscription to Perplexity Pro. This video explores the impact of this partnership, which represents a massive investment in technology and a significant challenge to Google's dominance in the search engine market. The video highlights how Perplexity AI, a tool that provides real-time, sourced, and summarized answers, saw a 640% growth in India and quickly became the number one app on the App Store in the country.

This strategic move by Airtel is showcased as a powerful customer retention strategy. Furthermore, the video explains how Perplexity's global expansion is a direct threat to Google's ad revenue model, potentially changing the future of how we interact with online information.
