OpenAI has taken a major step toward Wall Street by confidentially filing for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The move could lead to one of the largest public listings in market history, with the ChatGPT maker reportedly valued at more than $850 billion. Although OpenAI has not confirmed when it plans to go public, the confidential filing allows regulators to review its financial disclosures before they are eventually made public t

ChatGPT has reached a major milestone in the artificial intelligence industry, becoming the fastest app in history to hit one billion monthly active app users. According to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, OpenAI’s chatbot reached this mark in May, only about three and a half years after launching in November 2022. This achievement puts ChatGPT ahead of major platforms such as Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram in terms of adoption speed. Google Maps prev

The literary world is facing a major debate after allegations that one or more regional winners of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize may have used artificial intelligence. The controversy began after Jamir Nazir, a Trinidadian writer, won for his story “The Serpent in the Grove,” which was later criticized online for sounding unnatural, overly polished and possibly AI-generated. The story was published in Granta, and readers quickly bean pointing to strange metaphors, repeat

Lovable is expanding its relationship with Google Cloud through a new multiyear agreement that could significantly accelerate its growth in enterprise AI. The Stockholm-based startup, known for its fast-growing vibe-coding platform, has already been a longtime Google Cloud customer. Under the expanded partnership, Lovable is expected to increase its Google Cloud footprint fivefold, including much higher usage of cloud and AI services. Although the companies did not disclose t

Anthropic is warning that the AI industry may need something it currently does not have: a “brake pedal.” The company behind Claude says the world should have the option to slow down or temporarily pause the development of the most powerful AI systems before they move beyond human control. This warning comes as advanced models are beginning to play a bigger role in improving AI itself, raising concerns about whether society, governments, and safety researchers are keeping up

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a pace that even many experts find difficult to fully comprehend, and few recent predictions have captured that sense of acceleration more dramatically than those made by Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark during a lecture at Oxford University. Clark argued that within the next 12 months, an AI system working alongside humans could contribute to a Nobel Prize-winning scientific discovery, marking what could become one of the most significa

Anthropic’s acquisition of Stainless marks another important step in the growing competition around AI developer tools and agent connectivity. As AI moves beyond simple chatbots and into agents that can complete tasks, connect to business systems, and interact with outside software, the tools that help developers build those connections are becoming more valuable. Stainless, founded in 2022 by former Stripe engineer Alex Rattray, specializes in generating software development

Anthropic’s Claude is quickly moving beyond the idea of a simple chatbot and toward a future where AI can understand a person’s work, habits, and needs before they even ask for help. Cat Wu, Anthropic’s head of product for Claude Code and Cowork, recently explained that the next major step for AI assistants will be “proactivity.” Instead of only responding when users type a prompt, future AI systems could recognize patterns, set up automations, and help with tasks before user

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones believes the artificial intelligence-driven bull market still has more room to grow, even as he warns that the eventual ending could bring a sharp correction. Speaking on CNBC, Jones said the current AI boom reminds him of earlier technology revolutions, including Microsoft’s early rise in the 1980s, the launch of Apple II, and the commercial internet wave of the mid-1990s. In his view, AI is still in the early stages of a major

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of Formula One’s future, changing how teams compete, operate, and promote themselves in one of the world’s most technology-driven sports. Formula One has always depended on speed, engineering, and data, but AI is now becoming a bigger part of both on-track performance and off-track business strategy. With eight new AI partnerships signed in the past six months alone, the sport is showing how quickly artificial intelligence is m

Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI assistant, is reportedly considering one of the largest private funding rounds in technology history. The AI startup has received several preemptive offers to raise around $40 billion to $50 billion at a valuation between $850 billion and $900 billion. If completed, the deal would more than double Anthropic’s previous valuation of $380 billion from February and could place it at or above OpenAI’s recent private market valuation. Inv

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace, but the latest wave of reporting suggests the biggest story is not mass unemployment just yet. Instead, businesses and economists are describing a more uneven transition, one in which productivity gains are arriving quickly, experienced AI users are pulling ahead, and companies are beginning to rethink how many workers they actually need. Across research, executive commentary, and economic analysis, a new picture is emerging

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has sparked a major confrontation between the United States government and one of the world’s leading AI companies. Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI model, is now locked in a legal and political battle with the Pentagon after the Department of Defense labeled the company a “supply chain risk.” The conflict has brought renewed attention to how artificial intelligence should be used in warfare, surveillance, and national securi

OpenAI is attempting to steady itself after a swiftly arranged deal with the U.S. Department of War (DoW) sparked intense public backlash, internal dissent, and renewed debate over artificial intelligence in military operations. The controversy began when OpenAI stepped in to secure a Pentagon contract almost immediately after its rival, Anthropic, was dropped. Anthropic had refused to loosen safeguards preventing its AI model, Claude, from being used for mass domestic survei

Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 4.5, a significant upgrade to its most capable AI model and one built specifically to excel at coding, professional workflows, and long-running agent tasks. Released shortly after updates to Google’s Gemini 3 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.1, the new model takes a different approach by focusing less on flashy content generation and more on dependable workplace performance (CNET). Anthropic says Opus 4.5 is designed for getting real work done, buildi

Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Anthropic have entered a sweeping new alliance that marks one of the most significant shifts yet in the global AI infrastructure landscape. The three companies are combining cloud scale, advanced hardware, and frontier model development to accelerate the next generation of AI systems while expanding enterprise access to high-performance compute. At the center of the partnership is Anthropic’s decision to scale its Claude models on Microsoft Azure, backe
