This week, we talk about a weird tip we got that Xiaomi and Google are somehow partnering for a phone in the US, rumors about Google’s forthcoming first-party smart display, and corporate news including Apple’s poaching of Google’s (now former) AI chief.

Alphabet Scoop is available on Google Play, iTunes and Apple’s Podcasts app, and through our dedicated RSS feed for Pocket Casts and other podcast players.
