US policy has become increasingly unpredictable, thuggish, arbitrary, and capricious. Even if threats against Anthropic are scaled back, great damage has been done. The government has shown that it will treat homegrown companies like a foreign adversary simply for refusing to capitulate to its terms of business - for having its own opinions on how to, or how not to, deploy its own property. Companies cooperating with the US government will now have to operate under this logic.

Emil Michael, the Department of War's chief technology officer, had been negotiating with Anthropic for weeks on a $200 million AI contract. The talks had hit an obstacle as Anthropic would not allow its technology to be used for purposes such as the surveillance of Americans. Michael demanded that Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, get on the phone to discuss the issue, but he was told Amodei was in a meeting with his executive team and needed more time. Michael had been hammering out a deal with OpenAI on the side, so the Department of War designated Anthropic as a security risk and cut it off from working with the government.
SpaceX may file for its initial public offering as soon as this month. The firm expects to submit its draft IPO registration to the US SEC in the next few weeks, keeping it on track for a June listing. It could be seeking a valuation of more than $1.75 trillion. The listing could raise as much as $50 billion.
Google has implemented a new Merkle Tree Certificate system in Chrome. It uses Merkle Trees to provide quantum-resistant assurances that a certificate has been published without having to add most of the lengthy keys and hashes. Cloudflare is enrolling roughly 1,000 TLS certificates to test how well the system works. The Internet Engineering Task Force standards body has formed a new group to develop a long-term solution for generating the distributed ledger.
Google is building a new data center in Pine Island, Minnesota, that will be powered by 1.9 gigawatts of clean energy from wind and solar. It will use a 300-megawatt iron-air battery with a 30-gigawatt-hour capacity and 100-hour duration. Iron-air batteries store electricity by making rust and then reversing the rusting process to release energy when needed. While these batteries are heavier and less efficient than their counterparts, they are almost three times cheaper. Google will fund the installation of many smaller batteries across the grid to increase power capacity and make the system more reliable.

Designing tools for models is as much of an art as it is a science. It depends heavily on the model, the goal of the agent, and the environment it's operating in. Developers need to experience often, read outputs, and try new things. This post provides a useful framework for designing agents with tools that are shaped to their own abilities.
Apple plans to replace Core ML with a modernized Core AI framework to help developers better leverage modern AI capabilities with their apps in iOS 27. The shift from 'ML' to 'AI' is an acknowledgement from Apple that 'machine learning' is a dated term that no longer resonates with developers or consumers. The general purpose of Core AI will remain the same, but there will likely be new ways to incorporate AI features into apps. Apple will announce iOS 27 at its WWDC conference in June.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently held an Ask Me Anything on X to discuss the company's recent decision to work with the Department of War. In the thread, he answered questions around whether society should prefer a democratically elected government or unelected private companies to have more power, whether the government should nationalize OpenAI or other AI efforts, and the work it takes to keep society safe. Katrina Mulligan, OpenAI's Head of National Security Partnerships, and Boaz Barak, a computer scientist at OpenAI, were also present in the thread to answer questions.
Anthropic's Claude has dethroned OpenAI's ChatGPT in Apple's App Store. The sudden surge in rankings is almost certainly due to public backlash at a recent decision by OpenAI to work with the Department of War to deploy AI without restrictions on mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Anthropic was recently labeled a supply-chain risk to national security for refusing to amend its safety policies for its work with the government.

Nano Banana 2, also known as Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, delivers results similar to Nano Banana Pro but with the speed of the non-pro Flash variant. The new image generator has more advanced world knowledge, which gives it the necessary information to render objects with greater fidelity and create more accurate infographics. Nano Banana 2 will replace both the standard and Pro variants of Nano Banana across the Gemini app, Search, AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Flow. Example images generated with the model are available in the article.
Netflix is walking away from a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) studio and streaming assets as its board deemed on Thursday that a revised bid by Paramount is a superior offer. Paramount raised its bid earlier this week to $31 per share in cash. Netflix had granted WBD a seven-day waiver to re-engage with Paramount last week. Paramount's offer is for the entirety of the company.
OpenAI's VP of Science, Kevin Weil, recently had an interview where he discussed how AI capabilities are progressing to the future of robotic labs, how founders should think about building with AI, and why this might be the best moment in history to start a company. This post contains highlights of the interview along with a link to a video of the chat. Weil is now focused on accelerating scientific discovery with AI. His previous experience includes leading product teams at Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Doctors may soon prescribe pills that can travel through the digestive system and check for tissue health. Diagnosis for gastrointestinal diseases is often complicated, and treatment can bring serious side effects. Capsules are able to handle much of that work and could even release drugs exactly where they're needed or snip biopsy samples for analysis. The technology could transform care and make screening for disease less invasive and more accessible.

As more developers let Claude Code handle tool selection, the stacks that the AI chooses become 'the stack'. The model's training data may shape market share more than a marketing budget or conference talk. This study looks at what tools Claude Code actually picks. Claude Code would rather build from scratch than use existing tools - custom implementations are its single most common recommendation.
The dynamics of the software industry are rapidly changing. Some of the foundations that open source was built on are looking increasingly shaky. Open source maintainers have been fighting companies taking their work and creating competing products for years by using increasingly restrictive licenses or keeping certain parts of the development stack private. However, AI is making it easier to clone codebases into entirely new products. Software licenses may become meaningless as AI becomes adept enough to rewrite open source codebases from scratch without using any of the original code.
Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, says that the company cannot, in good conscience, agree to allow the Department of Defense to use its AI models in all lawful use cases without limitations. The Department of Defense wants to be able to use Anthropic's models without restrictions on fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. Anthropic has refused to change its stance despite threats by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to label it as a 'supply chain risk' or invoke the Defense Production Act to force it to comply with the department's demands. Discussions between the two parties are still ongoing.

Beginning in late 2024 and accelerating through 2025, Bitcoin's price experienced sudden and sharp sell-offs every trading day at 10 AM Eastern, coinciding with the US stock market open. The drops were precise, algorithmic, and wildly disproportionate to the broader market conditions. They wiped out leveraged long positions, triggered cascading liquidations, and then reversed within hours. These dumps stopped the moment Jane Street had lawyers looking over its shoulder due to the Terraform Labs lawsuit, and they started again in Q3 2025 when the heat died down.
Anthropic has the most constrained use age policy of all of the AI companies working on US military applications. It has a host of limitations on the use of its technology intended to prevent broader societal harm that includes core tenets such as 'Do Not Develop or Design Weapons' and 'Do Not Compromise Computer or Network Systems'. However, there are signs that the company's safety commitments are slipping. The Pentagon's threat to potentially remove Anthropic from the supply chain could be almost fatal to the business.
