The Company Building AI to Build Itself Just Asked the World to Hit Pause
Anthropic dropped a document this week that might be the most honest thing a frontier AI lab has ever published: internal metrics showing Claude now writes 80% of their production code, engineers ship 8x as much per day as 2024, and their flagship model sped up its own training code by 52x in a single year. Then they called for a global, verifiable mechanism to slow or stop AI development, right before their IPO.
That story, plus: someone leaked Anthropic's next unreleased model and sold it via a Chinese API proxy (the red-team program is now paused); OpenAI's new "Dreaming" feature builds a background profile of you while you sleep, doubling factual recall; SpaceX's IPO filing reveals a $920M/month Google cloud deal, nearly a billion dollars a month for compute; TSMC warns AI chip demand will outstrip supply for years; and Apple's WWDC drops Monday, with a rebuilt Siri running on Nvidia chips and Google's Gemini models under the hood.
