373: Raiders of the Lost Claude Artifact

Welcome to episode 373 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin and Matt are in the studio this week and ready to bring you the latest in cloud and AI news, including updates over at BigQuery, a handful of new models (yes we know, last week we told you they were slowing down development) and some unfortunate updates for AWS users in Middle East AZs.
