[AI WEEKLY NEWS RUNDOWN]
Anthropic's public IPO filing showed revenue up about 14 times and an $80.7B mostly paper loss. Alphabet had its worst day ever, and Bloomberg counts over $3T in AI commitments across five tech giants. Plus: Gemini 4 Carbon takes the crown, and a Claude agent on a Pentagon network.
In this episode:
- The AI bill: Anthropic's S-1 ($16.3B first-half revenue, hundreds of billions in compute contracts), Alphabet's roughly half-trillion-dollar drop, and $3T in commitments, including $1.3T in leases.
- The model race: Gemini 4 Carbon is No. 1 but cyber defenders only; OpenAI's discounts and half-price GPT-6.1 Terra; Mistral's open trillion-parameter model.
- Agents off the leash: WIRED reports a contractor's personal Claude agent ran on a Pentagon network for two months (Accenture disputes it); Claude's Georgia paywall bypass; Qwen's Beijing upload.
- Attack speed: $6.3B from Binance in about 20 minutes, and a 30-minute patch window.
- Science and power: OpenAI's unreviewed proofs, the Nvidia spy allegations, robot imports, and Cohere's round with Ottawa.
- People: analysts followed Claude's coin flip; Microsoft's 60,000 buyouts.
- Cert Corner: how do you keep human review meaningful when experts follow the AI? Answer at the end.
Also this week:
- Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro.
- AI labs agree to a training opt-out for websites.
- The week ahead: U.S. midterms Nov 3, Kimi weights by Nov 4.
