Data-center operator CoreWeave had to improve the terms of a $2.6 billion loan to win over nervous lenders. The money partly funds capacity for Anthropic — and the rising yields are a signal that reaches beyond CoreWeave.
August 1st was the cutoff for a promised framework on frontier models. It passed without a single document. For the big labs that means more waiting — and more uncertainty about what will count as a 'covered frontier model.'
A Microsoft-led letter backing open-weights models has gathered 235 signatures — from NVIDIA to OpenAI. Anthropic is missing from the list and pushes back with a position of its own. Simon Willison sorted through the recent wave of open letters.
AMD released Instella-MoE-16B-A3B: a Mixture-of-Experts model that opens up not just its weights, but every training stage, the data mixtures, and the code. And it was trained entirely on AMD's own Instinct GPUs — which is the real headline.
Google DeepMind is breaking up its Nobel-winning AlphaFold team and going all-in on Gemini. Three key researchers land at Anthropic. A turning point in the fight over AI for science.
Two U.S. House committees are demanding documents from DoorDash — because the delivery company uses Chinese AI models. Of all things, a bit of praise for Anthropic's Fable 5 set it off.
With Gemini Robotics 2, Google DeepMind brings whole-body control, fine dexterity and teamwork to robots. Three models — one runs entirely on-device. Here's why it matters even if you live in Claude land.
OpenAI is launching a 250-million-dollar program that hands tens of thousands of scientists free access to its strongest models. A smart move — and a pattern you're seeing everywhere right now.
