We begin with a notable shift in the AI race. In a new development in the story we've been following, leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI are now publicly aligned on a message that would have sounded unlikely not long ago: frontier AI is advancing too quickly.

The important part is not just the warning, but who is making it. When some of the biggest players in AI start asking for restraint, that changes the tone of the debate for governments, investors and the rest of the industry.
