Morning Briefing · From San Francisco

10 stops

From San Francisco

| 1 | The Editorial |
| - | ------------- |

*Good morning.*

*AI reached the Security Council. The room still has no rulebook.*

*Sam Altman arrived. Dario Amodei joined remotely. Both asked the 15-member Security Council for shared AI safety standards. No written agreement followed. Thursday brings Xi Jinping to President Trump’s White House.*

*The members-only PRO guide keeps AI work at home. A 256GB Mac Studio serves your laptop privately, even from another room. Three real jobs test the setup. A buying worksheet settles the 512GB question.*

*Then comes 9.25%, the yield on five-year data center debt. Meta wants Muse Charm in your palm by December. Its material is still undecided.*

*Stay curious,*

*Marcus Schuler*

| 2 | THE BIG STORY |
| - | ------------- |

OpenAI and Anthropic ask the UN council for shared AI safety standards.

**Sam Altman and Dario Amodei asked the 15-member UN Security Council for shared AI safety standards on Sept. 23, 2026.**

Altman asked for common methods to measure capabilities and assess risks. Governments would judge safeguards under his proposal. He sought quick reports of serious incidents. Secure channels would let governments share threat information, with human oversight retained.

Amodei proposed agreements against AI-assisted biological weapons and a verification system for national commitments. Britain backed common standards. White House adviser Michael Kratsios rejected new global structures. No written agreement was expected.

**Why This Matters:**

- Shared measurements would give governments a common basis for judging company safeguards before advanced systems cross national borders.
- The Sept. 24 Trump-Xi meeting could test incident notification as an alternative to a new global institution.

Reality Check

**What's confirmed:** Both CEOs addressed the 15-member council on Sept. 23\. No written agreement was expected.

**What's implied (not proven):** A narrow pact on safety measurements may advance even if Washington blocks a global regulator.

**What could go wrong:** Treating Amodei’s slowdown pledge as verified company practice would overstate the evidence.

**What to watch next:** A U.S.-China notification system for AI incidents that reach national-security level after the Sept. 24 meeting.

**Financial Times Alphaville maps how financing commitments and revenue dependencies turn the AI buildout into one connected credit risk.**

Sona Asset Management’s dataset covers 176 deals worth $3.6 trillion among 202 entities during the three and a half years through August 2026\. About 120 of those 176 transactions carry a high-circularity flag, while the debt map puts Oracle and CoreWeave among the reddest nodes.

9.25%

A Blue Owl-backed developer paid that yield on $1.1 billion of five-year junk bonds sold Sept. 23, 2026\. The price was about 2.7 percentage points above similarly rated debt. That premium shows the price lenders demanded for data center exposure. The 76-megawatt Virginia center is leased entirely to CoreWeave under a 15-year, $2.94 billion contract.

| 8 | The 5-Minute Skill |
| - | ------------------ |

**Expose the real price of an AI vendor deal.**

Vendor quotes mix commitments, usage charges, and renewal terms. Put competing offers on one annual cost basis before negotiating.

**Your raw input:**

Paste the vendor quote, pricing tiers, your last three months of usage, the expected growth rate, and the contract language covering overages, renewal increases, minimum spend, and termination.

**The prompt:**

Act as my procurement analyst. Use only the material below to calculate the effective annual cost at current usage and at the forecast peak. Show every calculation and label each assumption. Separate committed spend from variable charges, then identify money at risk from unused capacity, overages, renewal increases, or termination fees. If there are several offers, compare them on the same usage assumptions in one table. Finish with the two contract changes that would reduce expected cost most, ranked by estimated dollar impact. Mark missing facts as unknown and ask only questions whose answers could change the ranking. Material: \[PASTE HERE\]

**Why this works:**

The prompt forces unlike billing terms onto a common cost basis and makes the model expose its math. Ranking contract changes by estimated impact converts a summary into a negotiation plan.

**What to use:**

Use a current reasoning model with file support. A spreadsheet-capable assistant is useful when a quote has many usage tiers.

| 9 | Repo Spotlight |
| - | -------------- |

**Pi**, a minimal AI agent for the terminal, bundles a unified LLM API, an agent loop and a coding-agent command-line tool. The MIT-licensed repo had about 109,000 GitHub stars by September 23, 2026.

It suits developers who want one coding agent across model providers, since `/login` inside Pi connects a subscription or API key. It needs Node.js 22.19 or newer.

npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent && pi

Start it inside your project folder, then type `/login` to connect a provider. [Pi on GitHub →](https://impli.me/k9ZL9K?ref=implicator.ai)

Meta plans a December ship date for unfinished Muse Charm.

[*Mark Zuckerberg showed Muse Charm*](https://impli.me/jOyl9k?ref=implicator.ai)*, a palm-sized device for talking to Meta’s Muse agent, at Meta Connect on Sept. 23, 2026.*

**Our take:** Meta has built only a few units, yet it already found the December shipping window. Engineers still need to choose the finishing material. The component layout is unsettled. Marketing has moved ahead and calls Muse Charm “delightful and fun.” Nothing says holiday confidence like a product whose maker is still deciding where the parts go.

Amazon blocked Muse one day before Meta’s event. Now the agent gets a pocket device, with smart glasses waiting somewhere in development. Meta will offer more than 100 glasses styles by year’s end, some with collectible charms. Its next marketplace may be a stocking.

\*German for the last song of the night, the one that clears the room.
