Top engineers were dispatched to Washington, while CEO Dario Amodei met President Trump at the G7 summit and proposed a U.S.-led AI alliance. Days later, Trump publicly declared that Anthropic was no longer considered a national security threat. Meanwhile, OpenAI's audited financial statements revealed staggering losses exceeding $60 billion, even as the company recruited Gemini co-founder Noam Shazeer and Nobel Prize winner John Jumper left DeepMind for Anthropic. SpaceX acquired Cursor in a $60 billion stock deal, strengthening Elon Musk's software ecosystem. Midjourney shocked the industry by unveiling Midjourney Medical and a revolutionary whole-body scanner. Apple warned that AI-driven chip shortages would make higher prices unavoidable. Nvidia joined the AI debt boom, while regulators accelerated efforts to provide AI data centers with priority access to electrical grids. At the same time, Europe and the United States discussed trusted AI partnerships, Google challenged Nvidia with innovative TPU financing, and public trust in AI continued to fall even as adoption surged.
