Sam Altman reportedly warned US intelligence officials in 2017 about a Chinese AGI Manhattan Project to argue for billions in government funding for OpenAI. When pressed for evidence, he said 'I've heard things' but never provided proof. Officials found no evidence such a Chinese project existed, with one calling it 'just a sales pitch.'
Three Silicon Valley rivals—OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic—are joining forces through the Frontier Model Forum to fight unauthorized copying of AI models by Chinese competitors. US officials estimate adversarial distillation costs American AI labs billions in annual profits, while raising national security concerns about imitation AI models stripped of safety guardrails.
Elon Musk has amended his lawsuit against OpenAI to seek the removal of CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, claiming they abandoned the company's nonprofit mission. The billionaire now says any damages—potentially up to $134 billion—should go to OpenAI's charitable arm, not himself. With trial starting April 27, OpenAI has accused Musk of orchestrating a "legal ambush" while urging state attorneys general to investigate his alleged anti-competitive behavior.

Cursor unveiled Cursor 3, a new AI coding platform that lets developers delegate entire tasks to AI agents rather than writing code line-by-line. The startup faces intensifying competition from Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, which have captured significant market share with subsidized subscriptions. The release marks Cursor's shift toward agentic coding as it races to maintain its position in the rapidly evolving AI development tools landscape.
