The significance of this story isn't Anthropic.
It's that advanced AI models are increasingly being treated as strategic assets, much like semiconductors, energy infrastructure and other technologies with national security implications.
The debate is no longer just about model capability. It's about governance, access and who gets to decide how these systems are deployed.

My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:1-6
Great to see this, @NaveenGRao. We’ve talked for years about the need to rethink computing from first principles, and this is exactly the kind of work the AI era will require.
GPUs have carried AI a long way, but the next major gains in energy efficiency may come from fundamentally different approaches to computation. Using physical dynamics as part of the computing substrate is an exciting direction.
Looking forward to following where Unconventional AI takes this.
🧠 Today we introduce Un-0 from @unconvAI : the first large-scale generative model build on physics as a compute primitive. This represents a “hello world” moment for physics-based models. We use the inherent time-varying behavior of physical systems to do compute for us. The result is a new way to build a computer that can be VASTLY more power efficient. 🧵

Thoughtful perspective from @satyanadella on the future of AI and the importance of building a broad ecosystem rather than concentrating value in a handful of models.
Throughout my career, the most successful technology platforms were the ones that enabled others to create more value on top of them, instead of what they captured themselves.
That's why I find the idea of a "frontier ecosystem" compelling. The future of AI should empower organizations to build on their own expertise, preserve their institutional knowledge and create new value, not simply concentrate it in a handful of places.
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 9:9-13
For most of my career, the biggest technology debates were about what we could build.
AI has expanded that conversation. The question is not only what these systems can do, but how we ensure they develop in ways that strengthen humanity and serve human flourishing.
I appreciated Anthropic's willingness to raise difficult questions publicly.

Many of the technologies that will define the next decade aren't consumer products. They're the foundational breakthroughs happening in semiconductors, quantum, photonics, energy and infrastructure.
Honored to contribute to #The2026DeepTechReport alongside an outstanding group of founders, researchers and investors helping build what's next.

One of the most important transitions ahead is the shift from copper to optical connectivity at AI scale.
PicoJool’s 200G VCSELs and MicroVCSELs are an important step forward, combining record bandwidth with a mature GaAs supply chain already proven at hundreds of billion-chip scale.
That combination matters, it creates a viable path from copper to optical for next-generation AI infrastructure.
Congrats to Al Yuen and the PicoJool team!

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:12-20
Power delivery is emerging as one of the most important challenges in AI infrastructure.
As AI accelerators scale, moving power efficiently to the die becomes a first-order problem. Solving it will require innovation across semiconductors, packaging and system architecture.
This analysis does a great job explaining the challenge and why we were excited to back PowerLattice. The next wave of AI infrastructure breakthroughs will come from solving the constraints around it.
Good read from @CTmagazine on the range of Christian responses to Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI.
What I appreciate most is not that everyone agrees. It's that more people are engaging the conversation. Questions about human dignity, formation, work, community and flourishing are no longer theoretical. They are becoming some of the defining questions of the AI era.
The church does not need to have all of the answers, but it does need to be in the conversation.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

The recent papal encyclical on AI and human dignity shows how important the ethical and moral questions around AI have become -- questions the faith community is uniquely equipped to answer.
The responsibility to shape AI for good is a core conviction for @gloo. In this post, my colleague Nick Skytland explains more about our approach to AI and how we see our responsibility in this moment.

I enjoyed speaking with @politico's Aaron Mak about semiconductors, AI infrastructure and the future of U.S. competitiveness.
One point I continue to emphasize: supply chain resilience comes from diversification. Whether we're talking about chips, energy or critical minerals, no one should be overly dependent on a single geography for strategic supply chains.
At @Playground_VC, we back deep tech companies building the kind of foundational infrastructure that makes resilient supply chains possible. The challenge ahead is creating the economic conditions that sustain both innovation and long-term competitiveness.

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:16-20
AI is moving fast. The question is whether we will simply consume it, or help shape it with wisdom, values and purpose.
This October, @gloo will bring together developers, engineers, ministry leaders and builders in Boulder for the 2026 Gloo AI Hackathon focused on: “Building Together: Humans, Agents and the Future of Flourishing.”
What excites me most is not just the technology. It’s the people building it. The faith ecosystem cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while the next generation of AI platforms, agents and workflows are being created.
We need builders who care deeply about human flourishing, trusted AI and technologies that strengthen communities rather than diminish them. Looking forward to seeing what gets built.

Good read in @WSJ about the growing tension between AI ambition and public trust.
The future of AI won’t just be determined by model performance. It will depend on whether we solve the infrastructure, energy and societal challenges that come with scaling it responsibly.
The industry needs to take these concerns seriously.

AI is moving beyond tools and workflows into something much more personal: influence, trust and formation.
@skytland and I spent two days at Anthropic with researchers, theologians, Church leaders and technologists discussing the future of AI and what it means for humanity.
The church cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while these systems are being shaped.
