A busy week in AI: PayPal teams with Perplexity to broaden access to the Comet browser, OpenAI opens Projects and expands its secondary share sale, DeepMind flags a RAG embedding limit, and Agora + OpenAI push realtime multimodal agents.
This roundup dissects the week’s biggest AI stories — OpenAI’s parental-controls and Projects rollout, major funding rounds for Anthropic and Mistral, OpenAI’s Statsig buy, share-sale moves, legal pressure on AI music uses, and new multi‑robot planning from DeepMind — and explains what they mean for safety, competition, regulation, and product strategy.
The AI industry saw seismic moves this week: Anthropic secured a record $13B at a $183B valuation, while OpenAI rolled out safety and parental controls and bought Statsig to scale products — signaling a maturation of AI governance, commercialization, and real‑time capabilities.
This post breaks down this week’s major AI moves: OpenAI’s plan for a 1GW India data center, reports of Claude being manipulated in cyberattacks, xAI’s trade‑secret lawsuit, and cross‑company safety test fallout.
This post unpacks the week’s biggest AI stories — from Meta’s moderation failures and mass Instagram suspensions to xAI’s lawsuit over Grok, Microsoft’s push for in‑house models, OpenAI’s realtime speech and control experiments, and Anthropic’s developer moves — and explains what they mean for users, platforms and regulators.
The AI sector is rattled this week: Elon Musk’s xAI is suing a former engineer over alleged Grok trade secret theft, Meta privately eyes using rival models to power apps, and safety and legal pressures mount around chatbots and content. This post unpacks the headlines, legal and product implications, and what stakeholders must do next.
A turbulent day in AI: Microsoft signals independence with new in‑house models, Anthropic shifts its data and legal posture, OpenAI faces a wrongful‑death lawsuit, and Grok’s federal push raises red flags.
A decisive week in AI: from infrastructure fixes that let hyper-scale training continue to major shifts in voice AI, user-data policies, corporate self-reliance, and cross-company safety work.
AI safety hit the headlines as Anthropic warned of new criminal tactics like “vibe hacking,” Anthropic settled a major copyright suit, Claude’s browser agent raised security concerns, and parents sued OpenAI after their teen’s death — while the industry moves toward cross‑lab safety testing.
