Meanwhile, Anthropic had one of its most dramatic weeks ever, navigating a government standoff over export controls on its most powerful models before emerging with new products and fresh momentum.

Meta is pushing into controversial territory with a subscription model for its smart glasses, forcing consumers to pay both for hardware and ongoing AI access. SpaceX gave investors a glimpse of a mysterious AI-powered device that hints at Elon Musk's ambitions in the wireless hardware market. A new United Nations report warns that unchecked AI expansion could widen the gap between wealthy and developing nations. And a major web infrastructure company is forcing AI training crawlers to identify themselves or face sweeping blocks across publisher sites.
