Nvidia released Nemotron 3 Super yesterday, a 120-billion-parameter open model that activates only 12 billion parameters at inference time. The numbers matter, so let's walk through the math. Continue Reading →
Amazon just expanded its Health AI assistant to its main website and shopping app, making healthcare advice available to anyone with an Amazon account. The AI was previously locked inside One Medical's app after Amazon's $3.9 billion acquisition in 2023. Continue Reading →
Yann LeCun just raised $1.03 billion for AMI Labs to build "world models" instead of large language models. The Turing Prize winner left Meta to pursue AI that learns from reality rather than text patterns. His new company landed a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation betting against the entire generative AI playbook. Continue Reading →
A “claw” is a personal AI agent that runs on your machine and autonomously executes tasks on your behalf. Three distinct deployment models have emerged: one claw per human, one claw per function, and claw teams. Let’s explore. Continue Reading →
OpenAI just released GPT-5.4, which adds native computer control to their most capable reasoning model. The system can operate desktops through screenshots and mouse commands, achieving 75% accuracy on OSWorld desktop tasks compared to 72% for humans. This is OpenAI's first general-purpose model with built-in computer use capabilities. Continue Reading →
President Trump announced a "ratepayer protection pledge" this week, where Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, xAI, OpenAI and Amazon promise to pay for their own data center electricity costs. The President claims this will lower our power bills and protect us from rising energy costs tied to the AI boom. The pledge is completely voluntary with zero enforcement mechanisms.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees Tuesday they don't get to make "operational decisions" about how the military uses their AI technology: "Maybe you think the Iran strike was good and the Venezuela invasion was bad," Altman said in an all-hands meeting. "You don't get to weigh in on that." Continue Reading →
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Stephen Thaler's appeal over whether AI-generated art can receive copyright protection. Thaler applied for a copyright in 2018 covering a visual work his AI system DABUS created autonomously. The Copyright Office rejected it. A federal judge upheld that decision. The D.C. Circuit affirmed it. Now, the Supreme Court has let the ruling stand. The legal chain is complete: no human author, no copyright. Continue Reading →
If you've spent this weekend scrambling your engineering teams, you already know the news. In an unprecedented move, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he is directing DoD to designate Anthropic a “Supply Chain Risk to National Security.” This is a radioactive tag historically reserved for foreign adversaries like Huawei or Kaspersky. If your organization (or any company you do business with) does business with the U.S. military or federal government, based on the available information, using Claude is now a serious compliance escalation for any DoD-linked work.
