OpenAI temporarily removed the 5-hour usage window for GPT-5.6 Sol, allowing ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Pro subscribers unrestricted access. The move comes as the company learns from Google's Gemini troubles with strict limits. Meanwhile, Anthropic extended Fable 5 access for another week, intensifying competition between AI giants.
Anthropic is pushing Australia for copyright reform to train AI models on local creative works, dangling at least $50bn in datacentre investments. The proposal has split the Labor government and triggered fierce opposition from creators who call it the 'ultimate dirty deal.' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addresses the controversy this week.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Australia's comprehensive AI framework, creating a national Office of AI within his department. The policy requires large data centers to become net energy generators and mandates copyright protections for creatives, positioning Australia as a leader in balancing AI innovation with regulation.
More than 200 economists, including 16 Nobel laureates and chief economists from OpenAI and Anthropic, have signed a statement urging immediate action on AI's economic impact. The group warns that artificial intelligence could drive an unprecedented economic transformation larger than the Industrial Revolution but unfolding in just a few years rather than decades, raising urgent concerns about large-scale job displacement and the need for regulatory guardrails.
Tom Blomfield, who built Monzo and GoCardless into companies worth over $9bn combined, is leaving Y Combinator to join Anthropic's compute team. The move signals how critical compute infrastructure has become as AI companies race to deploy massive chip capacity and train next-generation models.
Leading US AI labs Anthropic and OpenAI are sounding alarms about Chinese AI companies using distillation techniques to copy their proprietary technologies. Through tens of thousands of fraudulent accounts generating millions of conversations, firms like Alibaba and DeepSeek allegedly harvest data to build competing models at a fraction of the cost. The accusations highlight growing concerns about AI model theft and its implications for US leadership in AI development.
Anthropic has pushed back the deadline for free Claude Fable 5 access to July 19, marking the third extension since June. Paying subscribers can continue using the flagship AI model at no extra cost, though it consumes up to 50% of their weekly usage limits. The repeated delays come as OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol closes the performance gap while offering lower costs, potentially influencing Anthropic's competitive strategy.
Claude's recent updates have created a split among users. Some report the AI chatbots increasingly refuse legitimate requests for creative writing and research, while others celebrate its ability to challenge incorrect claims—a feature ChatGPT and Gemini lack by default. The controversy highlights tensions between AI safety protocols and user experience.
Anthropic has launched an in-app browser for Claude Code on desktop, allowing the AI coding assistant to browse the web, access documentation, and interact with websites without switching windows. The sandboxed environment includes security safeguards while streamlining developers' workflows by eliminating constant tab-switching between code editors and browsers.
Elon Musk publicly reversed his stance on Anthropic, calling the AI startup the current industry leader and praising its Mythos and Fable models. The admission marks a dramatic shift from his previous criticism, coming as Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion monthly for access to the Colossus 1 supercomputer. Musk pledged not to weaponize his infrastructure control against the competitor.
New AI tools are transforming how job seekers navigate a brutal market. ChatGPT acts as a career advisor to craft resumes and identify opportunities, while Autopilot-Jobhunt scans the web overnight for matching positions. These tools offer a competitive edge as AI-driven hiring processes increasingly filter candidates before human review.
Current and former OpenAI employees donated over $245,000 to Guardrails Alliance, an AI safety super PAC pushing for stricter AI regulations. The donations directly counter Leading the Future, a pro-industry group backed by OpenAI president Greg Brockman with $25 million. The internal dissent highlights growing tensions over AI policy as companies pour hundreds of millions into the 2026 midterm elections.
Ben Bernanke, former Federal Reserve chair and Nobel laureate, has joined Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust. The independent oversight body ensures the AI startup remains committed to developing AI for humanity's long-term benefit. Bernanke will focus on tracking AI's economic impacts on workforces and economies worldwide.
TeraWulf is raising $3.5 billion in debt to construct a data center campus in Kentucky for Anthropic PBC, marking its first entry into the leveraged loan market. The former bitcoin miner has signed a 20-year lease agreement expected to generate $19 billion in revenue. This move signals a major shift from cryptocurrency mining to AI infrastructure development.
Anthropic introduced Reflect, a new dashboard for Claude AI that tracks how users interact with the chatbot. The beta feature offers usage insights and promotes mindful AI engagement through quiet hours and break reminders. But critics suggest the tool that displays everything Claude does for you may also serve as a retention strategy.
