Summary
This week on AI Meta, we break down Andrej Karpathy’s move to Anthropic, Claude’s growing developer mindshare, and why recursive self-improvement may be the next major frontier in AI. We also cover Google’s latest Gemini announcements, Anthropic’s reported compute deal with xAI/SpaceX, the rise of gray-market Claude API access in China, OpenAI’s ongoing drama, Cerebras, Nvidia, Intel, and Leopold Aschenbrenner’s massive AI infrastructure bets. Plus: SpaceX IPO speculation, Cursor, Grok, and why the AI economy increasingly looks like a global casino. Not financial advice. https://novacut.ai
