Summary: In today’s briefing, we analyze OpenAI's existential pivot. Missing internal revenue targets and facing an antitrust trial from Elon Musk, OpenAI has radically amended its partnership with Microsoft—killing the AGI clause and securing multi-cloud freedom ahead of a rumored IPO. We also explore the internal revolt at Google, where 600 employees are demanding the cancellation of a classified Pentagon AI contract. We discuss Apple's upcoming "Ultra" hardware tier designed to squeeze revenue from a stagnant market, China's official block of Meta's $2B Manus deal, and David Silver's new $1.1B lab, Ineffable Intelligence, which aims to achieve AGI without human training data.
