Coverage tied to Anthropic and Claude.
Meta shipped a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server so Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT can set up and manage Business messaging without hopping across consoles.
OpenAI’s Chris Lehane told reporters the company has been working with Anthropic and Google DeepMind on AI safety for weeks—amid antitrust worries and Amodei’s call for a narrow coordination waiver.
AIUC raised a $40M Series A to sell SOC-2-style audits for AI agents — 5,000 tests, ~100-page reports — as enterprises freeze deals over unguaranteeable behavior.
Amodei’s three-step “pace the frontier” pitch won rival CEOs’ nods — and immediately drew cartel and safety-washing accusations that only measurable teeth can settle.
Amodei’s “pace the frontier” essay triggered a quote storm — Altman and Hassabis nodded, Musk said he’s right, and Trump called the scare a China-helping conspiracy.
Onstage at the All-In Summit, Jensen Huang put President Trump on speakerphone — and Trump called AI slowdown fears a “hoax” while promising robots won’t take over.
Amodei called for a brake, and Altman, Hassabis, and Musk piled on — but the slowdown still lacks a definition, and transparency is the missing piece.
Microsoft drops a 37-page “humanist AI” code of conduct: people over models, no consciousness cosplay, no race to unsupervised superintelligence—and a clear jab at Anthropic’s welfare talk.
Amodei’s three-step pacing plan drew Altman, Musk, and Nadella into the same chorus—but only Anthropic has bound itself to embedded evaluators so far.
Trump and Speaker Johnson brush off Amodei’s pacing push as panic—arguing a slowdown risks handing China the AI lead.
Long-horizon agents don’t fail for lack of a bigger window—they fail when the harness doesn’t budget context, compact carefully, recite goals, and remember across sessions.
Dario Amodei put three concrete pacing moves on the table—and Anthropic is already committing unilaterally to embedded third-party evaluators, with Altman signaling OpenAI will match.
