ANTHROPIC SUES PENTAGON OVER ‘SUPPLY CHAIN RISK' LABEL

Anthropic has filed two lawsuits against the Department of War to change the Pentagon's decision to label it a 'supply chain risk'. One of the lawsuits is in the US District court in the Northern District of California, and the other is in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The supply chain risk designation is typically applied to firms that are deemed a major national security risk and has never been used on an American company. Anthropic has offered to continue negotiating with the Pentagon and also offered to help move the Pentagon off its technology and onto another AI system. OpenAI and xAI have signed agreements to provide technology on the Department of War's classified systems in recent weeks.

APPLE POSTPONES SMART HOME DISPLAY LAUNCH AS IT WAITS FOR NEW AI AND SIRI

Apple's smart home display has been delayed until later this year. The project was first scheduled to launch in the spring of 2025, but it was postponed to let the company finish work on a new Siri digital assistant. It was then scheduled to be released this month, but the new Siri is still not yet ready. The display is designed to be a central AI hub for the home that can display personalized data, such as calendar appointments, reminders, notes, and more.

CHINA LEADS THE HUMANOID ROBOT RACE — BUT THE US STILL HAS A SHOT

China's humanoid robots now dominate the market with over 90% of global sales and thousands of units shipped last year. Tesla's Optimus robots still won't be ready for launch until at least next year. While Chinese vendors are more advanced when it comes to production scales, US companies are very strong at the technical side of things, especially in the hardware and software departments. By the time humanoid robot startups build up their production bases, they will be ready for large-scale deployment.

HOW TO DESIGN ANTIBODIES

BoltzGen is the leading open-source approach for computational antibody design. It uses the permissive MIT license, so it can be used commercially by anyone. This guide walks through the full process of designing an antibody from home using BoltzGen. The process involves choosing a target, preparing a target structure, running a design campaign, filtering candidates, and experimentally validating the results.

CODE REVIEW, A NEW FEATURE FOR CLAUDE CODE

Code Review is a new feature for Claude Code that dispatches a team of agents on every PR to catch bugs. Built for depth, not speed, the system is now in research preview for Team and Enterprise. Anthropic runs Code Review on nearly every PR. The tool doesn't approve PRs, but it closes the gap so reviewers can cover what's shipping. Reviews are billed on token usage, and admins have several ways to control spend and usage.

PERHAPS NOT BORING TECHNOLOGY AFTER ALL

The recurring concern, that large language models will push technology choices towards the tools best represented in their training data, making it harder for new tools to break through the noise, doesn't really hold up anymore. New models have large enough context lengths that they can consume a lot of documentation before they start working on a problem. Most agents work just fine in existing codebases that use libraries or tools too private or new to feature in the training data. Developers are still free to choose whatever tools they want to use and are not restricted to using the ones LLMs are most familiar with.

AFTER FALLING FAR BEHIND THE REST OF INDUSTRY, BLUE ORIGIN CREATES NEW STOCK OPTION PLAN

When Jeff Bezos launched Blue Origin, he knew that the company would not meet investors' expectations for return on investment over a typical investing horizon. Decades later, the company is still not operationally profitable, though recently, it has made impressive strides and seen financial returns from the sale of engines and commercial launches. To continue its growth and attract top talent, Blue Origin will begin granting stock options to employees this spring. The new program is structured to provide opportunities for liquidity events that will enable employees to convert vested stock options into realized value. More details about the program will be released during a company-wide meeting on April 17.

AMAZON TELLS FCC TO BIN SPACEX'S MILLION-SATELLITE DATACENTER DREAM

Amazon has criticized SpaceX's application for permission to launch a fleet of orbital datacenter satellites as incomplete, speculative, and unrealistic. It wants regulators to reject the application, which it says is a speculative placeholder rather than a complete application under the Commission's rules. Amazon also raised concerns about satellite interference and environmental objections. Analysts say that SpaceX's plan of putting datacenters in space is 'peak insanity' as running spaceborne facilities would be uneconomical and could never satisfy terrestrial demand for compute power.
