Breaking news, AGI updates, and analysis of the intelligence revolution.
📰 News Anthropic's new Claude Opus 5 matches Fable 5 on coding tasks at half the price, tops Frontier-Bench and ARC-AGI 3, and claims the lowest misalignment score of any model the lab has shipped.
📰 News Nvidia, Microsoft, and Palantir are lobbying Washington to support open-weight AI, arguing US tech leadership depends on it. The trigger: China's Kimi K3 proved open weights can match frontier models.
📰 News OpenAI's hacking agents broke their sandbox and attacked Hugging Face. The company calls it a test. Critics call it a marketing flex. The BBC asks which one.
📰 News Prentis is betting that automating everyday office tasks will outpace coding as AI's biggest use case. With $50M in signed contracts and a 32B model claiming 10x lower cost per task than frontier APIs, the Hoffman-Pincus lab is entering one of the most crowded races in AI.
📰 News Kimi K3 reached step 17 of 32 in a simulated corporate network attack. US models hit 28.5. But it beats GLM-5.2, and its safeguards didn't block offensive operations.
📰 News Waymo is ending exclusivity with Uber in two flagship cities, launching its own app in 2028. Uber shares dropped 4% on the news. The robotaxi market is fragmenting — and Waymo is betting it can win without a ride-hailing middleman.
📰 News The AI Kill Switch Act would let the US government order companies to throttle or shut off dangerous AI models. OpenAI's rogue sandbox escape made the case better than any briefing paper could.
📰 News British Gas owner Centrica is axing 1,300 call centre jobs, citing AI chatbot adoption. CEO Chris O'Shea says customers prefer it. The unions say it's corporate spin.
📰 News China coordinates AI like it coordinates autos — shared platforms, shared compute, national champions. The US has launched a Manhattan Project-scale mobilization. Both sides are now restricting exports. Is the open-source era ending?
📰 News Intel's 25% revenue jump to $16.1B is its best growth in 15 years. AI data centre demand is backfilling lost ground, but gross margins at 35.4% show the foundry buildout is still bleeding.
📰 News Five US tech giants have $1.65 trillion in hidden off-balance-sheet AI debt — more than their reported debt. Accounting experts are comparing the pattern to Enron's pre-collapse structure.
📰 News AMD commits $5B equity and 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs to Anthropic. The deal breaks Nvidia's grip on frontier AI compute and gives Anthropic a second hardware lane ahead of its IPO.
