Elon Musk's AI company xAI is being dissolved as a standalone entity and merged with SpaceX to form SpaceXAI. The move follows a deal leasing the Colossus 1 supercomputer to Anthropic and signals Musk's push toward orbital data centers. Trademark filings reveal plans for satellite-based AI infrastructure spanning over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs.
The Trump Administration and Beijing are considering launching official discussions on artificial intelligence during next week's summit between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead the American side as both nations aim to address risks from erratic AI models, autonomous weapons systems, and potential cyberattacks by non-state actors.
Anthropic unveiled 10 pre-built AI agents designed for banks, insurers, and asset managers to automate labor-intensive work like building pitchbooks and KYC screening. Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, which scored 64.37% on the Finance Agent benchmark—outperforming GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro—the agents can be deployed in days and integrate directly with Microsoft Office apps.
Illinois is considering multiple AI regulations that could reshape how companies are held accountable for harm. Two competing legislative proposals have divided major AI developers, with OpenAI supporting liability limits while Anthropic pushes for stricter oversight. The debate centers on balancing innovation with user safety as AI capabilities rapidly advance.
Anthropic has signed a deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX to access over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs at the Colossus 1 supercomputer in Memphis. The partnership marks a dramatic shift in relations after Musk previously called Anthropic's policies 'evil.' The deal includes expressed interest in developing orbital data centers in space to meet surging AI compute demands.
Anthropic has doubled Claude Code's five-hour rate limits across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans while removing peak-hour throttling. The increases in rate limits for Claude Code stem from a new compute agreement with SpaceX that grants Anthropic access to the entire Colossus 1 data center, delivering over 300 megawatts and 220,000 Nvidia GPUs.
Anthropic unveiled a dreaming feature for Claude Managed Agents that lets AI agents review past sessions, identify patterns, and self-improve without human intervention. The update also expands outcomes and multiagent orchestration capabilities, with early adopters like Harvey reporting 6x increases in task completion rates and Wisedocs cutting document review time by 50%.
Financial regulators across India, Australia, and the US are issuing urgent cybersecurity warnings as Anthropic's Mythos AI model reveals an unprecedented ability to identify security vulnerabilities. The bug-finding AI has uncovered tens of thousands of flaws, some decades old, prompting emergency meetings and forcing banks to slash patch times from weeks to days.
Anthropic is considering raising tens of billions this summer to fund a massive expansion in computing capacity, potentially valuing the AI company at $900bn pre-money. The Claude maker's annualized revenue run rate is expected to cross $45bn imminently—a fivefold jump from $9bn at year-end 2025. CEO Dario Amodei revealed the company experienced 80x growth when it had planned for just 10x, creating severe compute constraints.
Apple is shifting its AI strategy with iOS 27, allowing users to choose third-party AI models to power Apple Intelligence features. The Extensions feature will let users select from Google, Anthropic, and other providers to run Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground, marking a departure from Apple's traditional closed ecosystem approach.
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins claims Anthropic's Claude AI may possess consciousness after three days of conversations with the chatbot he named 'Claudia.' The assertion has drawn widespread criticism from cognitive scientists and AI researchers who argue he's been misled by sophisticated mimicry, turning the author of The God Delusion into an internet meme about AI psychosis.
NHS England has ordered all technology leaders to hide hundreds of open-source repositories from public view by May 11, citing fears around Anthropic's Mythos AI model. The decision reverses longstanding NHS open-source policy and has attracted an open letter with over 682 signatures, including former UK health secretary Matt Hancock, who called it a "huge mistake."
All five major US AI labs now submit their models to government security evaluations before launch. The Commerce Department's Center for AI Standards and Innovation will assess frontier AI capabilities for cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical weapons risks as the Trump administration considers making these reviews mandatory.
Formula One and its teams have signed eight new AI partnerships in just six months, marking a shift in how the sport operates. Williams now uses Anthropic's Claude for race strategy, McLaren runs Google Gemini, and Red Bull deploys Oracle's agentic AI systems. Technology spending reached $769 million last season, up 41% year-over-year, as teams navigate new cost cap rules set at $215 million.
OpenAI has created a new subsidiary called OpenAI Deployment Company with over $4 billion in initial investment from 19 firms led by TPG. The venture will embed specialized AI engineers directly inside organizations to help deploy and integrate AI solutions at scale. To accelerate its corporate AI push, OpenAI is acquiring UK-based consulting firm Tomoro, bringing 150 deployment specialists onboard from day one.
