Daily coverage of the models, platforms, tools and infrastructure reshaping the AI economy
Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing the company of stealing trade secrets to build its first consumer hardware device.
Meta's new image model launched this week with a consent policy buried in the fine print. If your profile is public, you were opted in before you finished reading this sentence.
Lovable, the Stockholm vibe coding startup, is in talks to raise $300 million at a $13.2 billion post-money valuation
Figma has acquired the team behind Bud, the Y Combinator-backed vibe-coding and AI agent platform formerly known as Orchids.
Here's a stat that should terrify Anthropic: DeepSeek just took the lead in token volume on Vercel's AI gateway, processing over a third of everything flowing through the platform.
Anthropic's researchers found a small collection of internal neural patterns inside Claude that behave differently from everything else going on in the model.
Nvidia is offering to guarantee revenue for smaller GPU cloud providers by promising to rent back any capacity they can't sell, and in exchange it will take a percentage of those customers' cloud revenues.
The world's largest asset manager has identified a constraint on the AI buildout that no amount of GPU procurement can solve: there aren't enough people to wire the data centers.
On July 2, the Financial Times reported that OpenAI has proposed handing the US government a 5% stake in the company.
Two weeks after a national security order pulled Anthropic's most powerful model offline, Washington has reopened the door. But only for names on a list it controls.
Six weeks after conscripting its own engineers, Meta is not so quietly handing the choice back.
Claude Tag launched today in beta. It lives in your channels, takes a task straight from a conversation, and works it in the background. The shift that matters is in how the work moves, not in the demo.
A quiet privacy-policy update means a "small subset" of flagged accounts could soon be asked to hand over government ID and biometric data. The timing, and the vendor, are raising eyebrows.
The AlphaFold co-creator's exit comes a day after Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer left for OpenAI. Two senior departures in two days, and a sharp reminder that the AI talent war is now the main event.
JPMorgan Chase has stopped its staff in Hong Kong from using Anthropic's Claude models,
The researcher whose ideas sit behind nearly every large language model in use today is changing teams again.
A government letter shut a leading lab's foreign engineers out of the models they built, and rival companies are now asking whether they could be next.
A jailbreak demo, a CEO's call to the Treasury Secretary, and a national security directive combined to pull the most capable model on the market away from the enterprises that had just deployed it.
The WSJ reports OpenAI may slash token prices to win customers from Anthropic, anticipating cuts Anthropic hasn't even announced.
Within twelve months, usage-based billing will be the default pricing model for every serious AI coding tool.
The "superapp" overhaul is a revenue story aimed at public-market investors, and it lands right after Anthropic beat OpenAI to the filing line.
OpenAI's Codex announcement is a distribution counterattack, not a product one, and it doesn't change your build-versus-buy math before Q3.
Nvidia already supplies most of the chips that build and run AI inside data centers. On Monday it moved into the computer on your employee's desk.
The most important AI vendor you've never been able to see inside of is about to open its books.
When non-human traffic overtakes human traffic in the first half of 2027, AI platform teams still running self-managed vector search on always-on clusters will be carrying a structural cost penalty.
If you cannot enumerate every AI asset running in your environment today, you have a gap that is now visible to auditors, regulators, and your security team's own scanning tools.
OpenAI released GPT-5.5 this morning. Greg Brockman called it a step toward "more agentic and intuitive computing". And for brand leaders, the question isn't "should we adopt AI" anymore.
When your model provider becomes your competitor, the moat you thought you had turns out to be a feature they hadn't gotten around to building yet.
SpaceX announced tonight that it has an agreement to either acquire Cursor, the AI coding startup, for $60 billion later this year, or pay $10 billion for their partnership work together.
Semrush research showed that 20% of ChatGPT's referral traffic fed back into Google, exposing a discovery loop that rewarded B2B brands visible in both layers.
Anthropic and OpenAI both shipped cybersecurity models this week, and the contrast in how they did it is the most revealing brand positioning moment of the year.
EmDash is the first CMS built around the idea that AI agents are an audience worth charging. For owned media, that changes everything.
