Description
Yesterday in AI | Saturday, April 25, 2026
China just handed everyone its best model for free...and you should probably ask why.
Something strange happened in AI governance today: the agency protecting America's critical infrastructure is still waiting in line for access to a model that a Discord server already has. Meanwhile, Europe's great sovereign AI experiment just quietly ended in a transatlantic merger. Anthropic had a complicated week, and they published every detail of why. And states across the country are passing AI laws with margins that don't happen when anyone actually disagrees. There's a lot to unpack in today's episode, and a few stories that deserve more attention than they're getting.
