OpenAI keeps nonprofit control while chasing trillions in funding. Their restructuring rejects typical tech evolution—transforming into a Public Benefit Corporation instead. But can they balance massive growth ambitions with their original mission to benefit humanity?
Is AI about to transform scientific discovery? Anthropic just handed researchers the keys to its AI kingdom—without the hefty price tag. What breakthrough might be unlocked when powerful AI meets brilliant scientific minds? The answer could reshape medicine as we know it.
Your data isn't just collected anymore—it's remembered. Meta's new AI doesn't just know what you post, but tracks what you whisper to it in private chats. Why is Zuckerberg's latest creation keeping a "Memory file" on you? The answer might make you delete the app tonight.

Anthropic launched a program today that gives scientists free access to its AI technology. The company will hand out API credits to researchers working on critical scientific projects, with a focus on biology and life sciences.
The program targets scientists studying complex biological systems, genetic data, and drug discovery. Researchers can use Anthropic's AI to speed up their work - though presumably not to create killer robots or teach AI to write grant proposals.
Scientists won't need to mortgage their lab equipment to participate. Qualified researchers get substantial API credits based on their track record and project potential. Anthropic's team of experts will review applications, likely while debating whether analyzing cat videos counts as legitimate research.
The initiative aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in areas like drug development and agricultural productivity. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei frames it as part of the company's mission to build AI that benefits humanity, as outlined in his essay "Machines of Loving Grace" - a title that thankfully avoids any HAL 9000 references.

Apple built an empire on doing everything in-house. Now they're asking an AI startup for help with coding. What went so wrong that the tech giant had to swallow its pride? The answer reveals cracks in Apple's perfect facade – and hints at a major shift in Silicon Valley's power dynamics.
What if your computer could talk back in your own voice? ElevenLabs just solved a major hurdle that kept European companies from using voice AI. Their solution tackles the tension between innovation and privacy - and it's changing how businesses think about AI.
Palo Alto Networks is betting big on AI security. The cybersecurity giant plans to acquire Seattle-based Protect AI in a
OpenAI just updated its rulebook for handling powerful AI, and the timing couldn't be better. Their AI models keep getting smarter, and like any parent of a gifted teenager, they're setting firmer boundaries.
