@steipete @openclaw Building an ecosystem requires building the infrastructure nobody sees.

This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet.

It’s a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design.

It also features a 1M token context window in beta.

Ads fund access. No ads means AI for the few, not the many. The rest is just timing.

[Sam Altman @sama]

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed.

But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.

I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it.

More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.)

Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.

Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be.

We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare.

One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path.

As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything.

We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win.

We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users.

This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

in the next 3 to 6 months, AI is writing 90% of the code, and in 12 months, nearly all code may be generated by AI

Smart move by @Azure and huge news for @MistralAI. Choice and flexibility of models will enable the development of the next wave of AI applications.

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

We're announcing a multi-year partnership with @MistralAI, as we build on our commitment to offer customers the best choice of open and foundation models on Azure.

Sora latest looks pretty good for a single prompt-generated AI video

[Bill Peebles @billpeeb]

"a scuba diver discovers a hidden futuristic shipwreck, with cybernetic marine life and advanced alien technology"

Video generated by Sora.

[Frank Sinton @fsinton]

Absolutely! Giving artists the freedom to shape Gen AI using their artistic sensibilities and aesthetic sense is incredibly exciting.

[Martin Nebelong @MartinNebelong]

As you know, my explorations of the Gen AI space is ultimately all about creative control. You should be able to shape the generative matter using all your artistic sensibilities and your aesthetic sense.

OpenAI's Sora is a huge technological leap, but what excites me the most about it is the modalities where it depends on input other than text alone. Such as video to video. Here's an example of how Sora can change an input video.

Base video🧵

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

[Frank Sinton @fsinton]

Sora is already looking fairly advanced.

[Rowan Cheung @rowancheung]

It's been 24 hours since the OpenAI changed the AI video world with Sora.

Here are the 14 most mindblowing video generations so far (100% AI-generated):

My 14-year-old daughter sat down and watched the ENTIRE AFC championship game with me this past weekend. The @taylorswift13 effect on these @NFL games is such a huge positive, not sure why anyone questions otherwise. (this is coming from a lifelong @Patriots fan). Go @Chiefs

@AdtechGod Software eating the world, so OS.

Yes, this happened and @AmericanAir continues to disappoint. Liking sustainability by jusy not flying more and more.

[Lisa connell @beachsnowgalfun]

Ever had a nightmarish experience with @AmericanAir? Bought business class tickets, got downgraded to coach with no reimbursement. Stranded on the tarmac, overnight at the airport, and circled back the next day like a cosmic joke. Our destination? Never reached. Plus, our luggage

[Chris Kane @ckane]

@basisglobaltech now blocks MFA by default for every campaign. Accessing MFA supply requires buyers to proactively opt in. This is a big step toward a healthier programmatic supply chain.

Bringing DOOH to a whole new level. Wild guess: this won't be programmatic anytime soon. #DOOH #SphereVegas

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Advertising rates for the $2.3 billion MSG Sphere have been leaked.

• $450,000 for the day
• $650,000 for the week

Those prices include working with MSG's 300+ designers on the creative & they estimate 4.7 million daily impressions (300k in person & 4.4M on social).

Crazy.
