Anthropic is weighing a $50 billion raise at $900 billion — more than OpenAI's last round. Three months ago it was worth $380 billion. Someone is going to have to explain this math eventually.

Elon Musk testified he was "literally a fool" for funding OpenAI, then confirmed on the stand that xAI trains on OpenAI's models. That was week one.

Anthropic got kicked out of a $200M DoD contract and labeled a "supply chain risk" for refusing to let Claude power autonomous weapons. Every other major AI company stood in line with their pens ready.

OpenAI isn't just missing targets — it's losing its status as the inevitable center of the AI universe. When the exclusivity ends and the burn rate stays, the IPO math stops working.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are finally hashing it out in an Oakland courtroom, both pretending this is about the soul of humanity instead of a $300 billion valuation.

OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5, bought a talk show, and is heading toward an IPO. At some point you have to ask what exactly this company is now.

Across the four major frontier labs, no single model wins everything right now. That's actually the most interesting the AI race has ever been.
