Broad artificial intelligence coverage.
Washington just walked into the Times-OpenAI copyright fight on the lab's side, arguing that a licensing default would choke 'American prosperity.' That is policy dressed as fair-use doctrine.
NVIDIA's third co-design note is not a product launch. It is a serving manual: pick draft length and draft mechanism by where you sit on the throughput-latency curve, or you will pay for tokens nobody accepts.
A contractor put ChatGPT on speaker with an AI recruiter after five dead-end screens. The bots complimented each other. No human ever called back. This is the hiring stack eating itself.

Jabil's SAP director is not selling a model. He is selling the unglamorous order of operations: simplify and integrate first, or the AI layer becomes another silo. This is a sponsored interview. The sequence is still right.

Fable 5.1 is Anthropic answering the three complaints that actually show up on invoices: price, refusals, and where the data lives. The 45 percent figure is for cached agentic work, not a list-price holiday.
Ai2's prompt-level audit finds that several 'safety' benchmarks track reasoning instead. Composite leaderboard scores have been blending two different abilities into one number.
