🤖 Microsoft Builds Its Own Brain, Quietly Ghosts OpenAI
- Microsoft dropped seven in-house models at Build 2026, plus Microsoft Scout - an always-on Teams agent that schedules your meetings and preps your work (so it can watch you slack off in real-time).
- Between its own models, agents, an AI-designed quantum chip (1,000x reliability??), and Project Solara hardware, Microsoft wants Windows to be the control center for everything. OpenAI who??
📜 Feds Speedrun AI Safety From 90 Days to 30
- The U.S. government now wants AI labs to voluntarily hand over their top models for a 30-day security check before launch - down from the original 90-day plan they just yeeted.
- With GPT-5 and Claude Mythos dropping soon, this means faster access to new tech with less red tape. Safety, but make it... rushed?? We love to see it (do we??).
🚀 Alphabet Sells $80B in Stock to Spend $190B on AI
- Alphabet is dumping $80 BILLION in stock to bankroll a $190 billion AI infrastructure binge this year. Meanwhile Anthropic opened up Claude Mythos, OpenAI's Codex now hosts websites, and Cognition dropped Devin Desktop for local agents.
- The way that Big Tech just casually spends GDP-sized numbers now- This is exponential-growth-core, bestie. The boom is just getting started. 💀
🪟 Anthropic Cracks the Glasswing Wider Open
- Anthropic expanded Project Glasswing, handing its powerful Claude Mythos Preview to 150 new organizations across 15 countries — still not public, but the circle of trust just got way bigger.
- Mythos is the model everyone's waiting on, and Anthropic is letting more orgs kick the tires before any wider release. The "limited preview" is looking less limited by the day 👀
💻 OpenAI's Codex Now Builds AND Hosts Your Stuff
- OpenAI shipped new Codex updates, including Sites — create and host full websites and apps right from Codex — plus a fresh batch of role-specific plugins across different domains.
- Codex went from "writes your code" to "writes it, ships it, and hosts it." The vibe-code-to-live-website pipeline is officially one click long 💀
🖥️ Cognition Turns Windsurf Into Devin Desktop
- Cognition rebranded its Windsurf IDE as Devin Desktop — one surface for running agents locally OR in the cloud, with support for agents like Codex and Claude.
- One desktop to wrangle all your agents, local or cloud, no matter whose model is under the hood. Agent chaos finally gets a home base.
📈 Famous Investor Says We Just Hit "Lift Off"
- Legendary investor Elad Gil declared humanity is "likely in very early lift off and exponential," arguing the models that dropped back in December crossed a major technological threshold.
- When the galaxy-brain money starts saying "exponential" out loud, it's either the most thrilling or most terrifying thing you'll read today. Why not both 💀
🎬 Scorsese Goes AI and Skeptics Are SHOOK
- Legendary director Martin Scorsese is now an adviser for Black Forest Labs, using their FLUX AI image model to storyboard his next movie. NOT to replace actors - just to share ideas instantly, which he calls "creatively freeing."
- A Hollywood legend publicly backing AI?? Huge. It's the rare "AI boosts human creativity" take instead of "AI takes your job." No because we actually love to see it. 🙏
