Peter Leeb shared thisMemory. And no, this isn’t about the Barbara Streisand song. We are entering the next new phase—shifting from models to memory. The first very visible product campaign for the ability to import your context and history from one LLM to another, the conversation is no longer just about who has the best model. It’s about who owns, understands, and can leverage your data. Switching costs between AI platforms have historically been low—open a new chat, start fresh. But as memory becomes portable, persistent, and structured, we’re moving toward real “data gravity” in AI ecosystems. The implications: AI platforms are becoming systems of record, not just tools Context and history are turning into competitive moats Enterprises will prioritize interoperability, governance, and control over their data Everyone era has the same tactics of switching and migration, this just happened quickly. We’re just getting started.

Peter Leeb shared thisOlá Lisbon! 🇵🇹. Heading to StreamTV Europe to dive into the next chapter of the streaming revolution. As the industry moves through a massive structural recalibration, this is the perfect backdrop to discuss how we’re turning "content fatigue" into "content discovery." The streaming landscape in 2026 is no longer a race for more subscribers—it’s a race for smarter monetization and execution. Here are a few trends I’m particularly keen to discuss with colleagues and partners: AI as the Backbone, Not the Buzzword: We’ve moved past the "what if" stage. Now, it’s about how AI-driven metadata and hyper-personalization are providing the actual ROI for content owners. The Hybrid Gold Rush: The lines between SVOD, AVOD, and FAST have blurred into a single, audience-centric experience. Bundling is back, but this time, it’s data-led. Leveraging the Archive: In an era where margins matter more than growth, the real value lies in unlocking massive libraries. At Veritone, we’re focused on how AI can turn decades of "cold" data into active revenue streams. Content Provenance: With synthetic media everywhere, establishing trust through technical standards (like C2PA) is becoming a first-order requirement for every major platform. #StreamTVEurope #StreamingTV #Veritone #AI #FutureOfMedia #Lisbon2026 #AdTech #FASTChannels

Peter Leeb posted thisEasiest way to think about the Claude leak which does not expose model weights - the model weights are the "engine," this leak just gave everyone the blueprints for the transmission, the GPS, and the dashboard. You can't drive the car yet, but you now know exactly how the next model is being built to handle the road. Thoughts?

Peter Leeb shared thisThere’s nothing quite like a game-winner. Purdue University delivered one of those moments—where time, pressure, and execution collide into a single shot that lives far beyond the final buzzer. It’s why we watch. The term “game-winner” itself has become a staple of live sports broadcasts, evolving alongside the rise of real-time commentary, highlight culture and contextual, realrime media. Decades ago, announcers might have simply described the final play. Today, “game-winner” is a definitive label—an instant classification that signals drama, finality, and legacy in one phrase. In the modern era of live production, that moment is more than just a shot: • It’s clipped, tagged, and distributed in seconds • It’s analyzed across every angle and dataset • It becomes part of an athlete’s and program’s permanent story From broadcast booths to AI-powered metadata systems, the “game-winner” has gone from a call… to a category… to an asset. And last night, Purdue added another one to the NCAA archive.

I can't say much yet about what Tavon Austin and I are involved in building together with remarkable founders. Stealth is stealth.

These moments don't come from thin air. They materialize from accumulating knowledge quietly, staying patient when it's hard, prioritizing being a reliable collaborator, asking for help often, and trusting something larger than yourself to do the math.

Peter Leeb liked thisPeter Leeb liked thisI’ve said it before. In the next few years, we’re going to have AI-first companies or dead companies. And right now the gap between the two is looking a lot more like a canyon. And it’s widening WAY faster than leaders are willing to admit. AI is exposing decades of dysfunction that's now impossible to ignore. Enterprises are literally breaking under the weight of it. And the difference between who makes it and who doesn't is becoming very, very clear. I’m taking the stage at #HumanX next week with Natasha Mascarenhas from Bloomberg to dig into some new findings about what's actually happening on the front lines, why so many AI strategies are failing, and what the companies that ARE pulling ahead are doing differently with WRITER. If you’ll be at HumanX, come say hi! We’ll be on the main stage at 2:40pm PT on Tuesday!!

Peter Leeb liked thisPeter Leeb liked thisFour hardest truths about growth jobs right now: 1. Most growth hires are brought in to manage decline, not create growth 2. Most growth roles are terrible 'opportunities' wrapped in great titles (CGO, anyone?) 3. Past success in a growth role does not guarantee success in an AI-native future.(A lot of growth careers were built on channel and UI optimizations. That era is dying.) 4. Many of the best sr. growth operators exited full-time roles to become solopreneurs/advisors. More money, less hours, more freedom. #growth

Peter Leeb liked thisPeter Leeb liked thisWe put together our first fully operated ScorePlay event this past week in London, bringing 200+ sports and AI leaders into the same room. We're calling the series Ahead of the Game. The one thing I've consistently heard from people across the sports industry is that they want to connect more with one another. Practitioners, business leaders, partners. There's no reason you should follow a sports org's channels, admire their work, but never have a way to actually learn from each other. We've always tried to connect people where we could, but this event was a step further in representing the idea that sports shouldn't be so disjointed. Not a bad first go at it, with a view from 42 floors up.

What made this especially meaningful was seeing so many talented people across Snap Inc. come together to pull off something as complex as an award show; which is no small feat. From concept to execution, it took creativity, coordination, and a lot of hard work behind the scenes. Grateful to everyone who contributed their time, energy, and expertise to make it happen.

What’s one way to know your prediction hits the mark? When @faultline’s @ Tommy Flanagan writes “we wholeheartedly agree.” In his latest issue, Tommy ponders an important question about the growth of short-form content: will its adoption go behind tier-1 broadcasters to niches streamers? I’d argue AI-driven shorts are a necessity for niche and tier-1s alike who want to compete (and win) against the creator economy. The reality is, viewers need more reasons to stay engaged within broadcasters’ ecosystems. AI-driven shorts give them the velocity and intelligence needed to break viewers’ habits of scrolling through their TikTok feed, and instead staying within their O&O platforms. Simply put, the conversation has moved beyond how to participate in the creator economy to where that economy lives. In 2026, the streaming wars will pivot from a battle over library depth to a fight for the discovery funnel. What do you think?

Dolby’s Signature Partnership with the Bay Area Host Committee is a big moment for sports fans in San Francisco - and a signal of where live sports is heading globally. The Bay Area Host Committee is helping showcase our region as we prepare for some of the world’s biggest sporting events, and this week is an opportunity to demonstrate what the next generation of viewing can look like. Sports fans across the world - from Europe to Asia Pacific - are no longer just “tuning in” to live games. They expect live sports to feel more like being in the stadium than watching a stream. That is exactly what our partners Comcast’s Xfinity and Peacock are building toward, and what we’re showcasing in San Francisco this week. Xfinity’s new RealTime4K capabilities, paired with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, are delivering ultra-low latency and cinema-quality experiences that fans can actually feel. Peacock and Xfinity understand that viewers want more from sports broadcasts. Dolby is helping them deliver that differentiation with incredible picture, immersive sound, and live experiences without the usual compromises. We’ll be demonstrating these innovations at our San Francisco headquarters and through the BAHC Innovation Summit. But the truth is, fans in Seoul care about this just as much as fans in the Bay Area do. Watching live sports can be just as exciting as being there in person, and what we're doing with the Host Committee this week proves it. #Dolby #Innovation #BayArea #Technology #DolbyVision #DolbyAtmos #DolbyOptiView Dolby Laboratories Bay Area Host Committee

The music industry just made its boldest AI bet yet. ASCAP appointed John Pershing as Chief Technology Officer with one clear mission: Harness AI to create new growth opportunities for songwriters and publishers. This isn't just another tech hire. It's a strategic pivot that signals where the entire industry is heading. While others debate whether AI threatens creativity, ASCAP is asking a different question: How can we use AI to amplify human creativity and generate more revenue for artists? Pershing's background at What If Media Group brings fresh perspective on solving real market needs. Not just implementing technology for technology's sake. Meanwhile, Primary Wave Music is doubling down on brand partnerships. They just hired Camille Hackney from Warner Music Group, who orchestrated major campaigns with Apple, Starbucks, and Google. The pattern is clear: Successful music companies are betting on two pillars - AI innovation and strategic brand collaborations. Those who adapt will thrive. Those who resist will struggle to compete. What's your take on AI's role in the music industry? Are we looking at the future of creative collaboration or a threat to artistic authenticity?

#SESAC #Securitisation “…MBW just posted that SESAC has raised $889M through a whole‑business securitisation, taking its total debt to around $1.1B. The deal was 3× oversubscribed, which says a lot about how institutional investors now view music service companies. This isn’t a catalogue sale; it’s leveraging the entire SESAC ecosystem - from its PRO business to HFA, AudioSalad, Mint, and beyond - to create predictable cash flows for bondholders. Why I think this matters: - Investors now treat music infrastructure as an institutional‑grade asset class - SESAC & Blackstone gain cheap capital for growth, but now face pressure for clean, stable cash flows - Songwriters and publishers may see benefits if reinvestment accelerates payouts, though cost‑cutting or restructuring could impact service What is likely to happen next?” Read the post and article for more: #Leveraging #PROs #CMOs #Music #MusicBusiness #Musica #MusicIndustry #Musique #Musik #MusicBiz #MusicRoyalties #Songwriters #Composers #MusicPublishing

Great tech leaders never say, “That’s not my problem.” Because delivering truly exceptional consumer experiences means owning outcomes across an entire ecosystem - not just your own section. At Dolby Laboratories, we work across an interconnected and interdependent ecosystem. Creators need platforms to reach audiences. Streaming platforms need great content to keep viewers engaged. Device makers need both content and platforms to showcase their hardware. And consumers just want it all to work seamlessly. It's the ultimate chicken-and-egg problem. Our job is to bring value to every side simultaneously. So we help creators tell better stories with richer audio and video. We help platforms deliver those stories without compromise. We help device makers ensure everything sounds incredible, whether it's a smartphone or home theater system. What sets our team apart isn't just our technical expertise, though that matters. It's our mindset. No one ever says, "That's not my problem." When something breaks in the ecosystem - when a creator struggles to upload content, a platform malfunctions, or a device glitches - we lean in. And we understand that this work never stops. New devices launch every month, apps get updated constantly, and consumer expectations keep rising. The ecosystem only works if every part works. And delivering great experiences means embracing ownership across all of it, not just your piece.

Summons Productions Announces Dual Bay Area Music Residencies for 2026 In a strategic expansion that reflects its rising influence in the independent music sector, Summons Productions, under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Drananda Summons, has secured two year-defining music residencies in the Bay Area—Berkeley and San Francisco—positioning the company for a landmark 2026. The Berkeley Residency, scheduled to launch January 2026, will serve as the flagship location for the Summons Productions performance series Summons Lounge. Designed as an incubator for independent musicians, vocalists, and cross-genre creators, Summons Lounge has rapidly become a proving ground for emerging artistry and an essential space for music discovery in Northern California. In May 2026, Summons Productions will extend its reach with a second Summons Lounge Residency in San Francisco, widening its platform for musicians seeking industry-level performance opportunities without the barriers often found in traditional venues. This dual-residency structure marks a significant evolution in the company’s music-driven programming, allowing Summons Productions to operate simultaneously in two of the Bay Area’s most competitive cultural markets. Both residencies are being established in partnership with North Beach Pizza Berkeley & San Francisco, whose venues have become hubs for live music, creative gatherings, and community-centered entertainment. Their collaboration with Summons Productions underscores a shared mission: to cultivate accessible performance spaces that elevate independent music while supporting the creative economy of the region. As Summons Productions enters 2026 with two anchored residencies, the company strengthens its position as a leading force in the Bay Area’s independent music landscape—bridging artists, audiences, and industry pathways through the ongoing evolution of Summons Lounge.

Everyone assumes content distribution is automated. It’s not. If you work across #TVOD, #FAST, #AVOD, or #SVOD and haven’t seen how avails are actually distributed, you’d be shocked at how manual the process still is. Excel files flying back and forth. Partner templates. Constant updates. Human error everywhere. Matthew Carter and Vincent Muscarella break down why this legacy workflow slows licensing and delays revenue for the entertainment industry. The industry deserves better. #Helix #WhipMedia

The premium video space (led by CTV) is hot and unsurprisingly, so is the competition for adspend. It’s the reason Dominic Finney and I decided to conduct a snapshot survey on the market from the buy-side. Because that’s where the rubber hits the road. I know from experience that it’s too easy to get caught up in your own bubble and build tech products and services that are not aligned with the market. A bit like buying a new car and before you know it all the optional extras boxes have been ticked and the costs and timelines have gone crazy. At Unruly we built an analytics product – leadership loved it, but it generated £0 revenue. And it took up a big chunk of time, resources and investment before we called it a day. Getting the ground truth on the market is incredibly valuable but more challenging today than ever as the access to decision makers has become harder for a number of factors. This means it’s too easy to go to our trusted industry friends who generally soft ball us. Good for the ego – bad for market fit. What came out of our recent research is that there’s a gap between the sell-side and the buy-side. Opportunity but also risk. We’re going rerun the study again in September because it’s important and we have no doubt that AI will have an impact on some of the challenges raised and lastly, because the market overall is moving so fast. The survey was just a snapshot – there are other questions we’d have liked to ask and as we’ve discussed the results with the industry plenty more have bubbled up. With the market moving at such a frenetic pace we expect there will also be things we might miss and that means we’re looking for input from you to make sure the next report does an even better job of representing where the market really is and where it’s going. In short, we want the hard truth. #video, #YouTube, #CTV

Adam Sandler just proved he’s still the king of streaming, and all he needed was a hockey stick putter. Happy Gilmore 2 didn’t just tee off, it crushed it. With 2.9 billion viewing minutes in its opening week, it now holds the largest weekly total in Nielsen ’s Streaming Top 10 history. That beats the previous record-holder, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which had around 2.2 billion minutes. And there’s more: Netflix says Happy Gilmore 2 pulled in over 50 million global views during its first week, including 46.7 million views in just the first three days, making it the biggest U.S. opening weekend ever for a Netflix original film. But here’s the real story: Sandler, at 57, is a streaming magnet. He’s been with Netflix since 2014, and his deal keeps getting extended because it works. He’s the guy who pulls in younger audiences, legacy comedy fans, and the rewatch crew all at once. This proves that nostalgia, comedy, and built-in fanbases are still some of the strongest forces in the streaming wars, especially when combined with original IP momentum. Netflix knows the formula, and Happy Gilmore 2 proves it. Follow for more smart, fast media breakdowns just like this. ❤️ #netflix #streaming #record #happygilmore2
