10,000 AI agents claimed a 200-year-old maths proof this week. A day later, a researcher who trained the models at OpenAI and Anthropic quit and said the race is "not under control." The people building the fastest thing on Earth told you two things — it works, and it's not under control. Plan for both. Top stories for the week: OpenAI agents claim Navier-Stokes proof Amodei: "We must slow the pace" of AI models Anthropic reveals 4 model break-in incidents US names 6 Chinese firms for model distilling Hosted on Acast.

Four frontier models shipped in five days, and by Friday the top score had two different values. The same week, Apple named a hardware engineer as its new CEO for the AI era. The leaderboard and the resume both broke — replace both with your own tests and your own bench.Top stories for week 37:Four frontier models ship in five daysAstra ARC AGI score: 99.9% or 62.7%Apple names hardware engineer Ternus as CEONVIDIA signs $12.9B Hugging Face deal Hosted on Acast.

Ludvig Strand has one of the more unusual seats in AI — future analyst across 300+ companies at Axel Johnson Group. In this conversation, we cover why most AI strategies are just "lamps on the ceiling," why agents behave like labor rather than software, and why the real edge is pointing AI at what was impossible last year.Top highlights:Ludvig Strand: AI analyst at Axel Johnson GroupSkeuomorphism: don't just build lamps with AIPoint AI at impossibilities, not automationAgents as labor need agentic governance Hosted on Acast.

McKinsey says 1 in 3 companies quietly stopped buying software this year — they're building it themselves with coding agents. The next day, Salesforce reported its strongest quarter in four years and called the SaaSpocalypse "nonsense." Software isn't dying. It's being repriced.Top stories for week 36:McKinsey: 1 in 3 skip software, build with AISalesforce makes Claude its default modelOkta ships Agent SSO for agent identityZ.ai opens 753B model with revenue license Hosted on Acast.

The AI agent got a wallet, an identity, and a set of tools this week. Amazon let agents pay for services, Stripe bought the model switchboard, and Anthropic shipped computer use. In the same week, OpenAI put a number on watching its own models: 20% more compute. The watchtower is now a budget line. Top stories for week 35: Amazon AgentCore lets agents pay for services Stripe buys OpenRouter, the model switchboard Anthropic ships computer use for production OpenAI: monitoring adds 20% to compute bill Hosted on Acast.

Last week the open-weight model was the escape hatch from vendor lock-in. This week it got smaller three ways at once — Chinese open models arrived with strings attached, DeepSeek raised prices behind a discount headline, and the financing behind AI infrastructure revealed itself as circular.Top stories for week 34:ZAI's GLM 5.3 tops cyber, holds weights backAlibaba opens stripped Qwen, revenue shareDeepSeek hides price hike as off-peak dealVantage eyes $100B IPO; AI money circular Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The AI race just stopped being about who builds the smartest model. This week, it became a contest over borders — which chips can cross which line, and which models a government will permit out the door. You can still buy ethical frontier AI. What you can't buy is the guarantee it stays switched on.Top stories for week 33:US closes back door on China cloud accessWhite House exempts open models from reviewOpenAI pauses Astra over cyber capabilityAlibaba launches Qwen 3.8 Max at low price Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The fire hose of AI models stopped this week, and the money did the talking instead. Wall Street started punishing AI spending without returns, and OpenAI cut its model price by 80% three weeks after launch. The economics of AI just got squeezed from both ends. Top stories for week 32: Wall Street rewards AI revenue, punishes spend Hyperscaler AI spending hits $725B, up 77% OpenAI cuts GPT-5.6 price 80% in three weeks Google DeepMind ships Gemini Robotics 2 Hosted on Acast.
