Google is really about to lose its core talent this time—one key employee after another is leaving.
What exactly is so appealing about Anthropic?
Is it security, controllability, compensation, or the culture? This is terrifying.
A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.

OpenAI frontier models and Codex are now generally available on AWS, giving enterprises a new way to build on Amazon Bedrock with OpenAI through the security, compliance, and governance workflows they already use.
This is also the beginning of a broader expansion of OpenAI capabilities on AWS, including future availability for cybersecurity capabilities like Daybreak.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and policies will evolve accordingly.
If all tax audits were handled by AI, the process would be incredibly transparent and efficient.
Going back 20 years in a tax audit could take just a few days. Are you ready? Let’s all go in the nude, hahaha 😄
As the intelligent revolution gains momentum, the focus of the future world will shift. When it is no longer human-centered, everything will change.
But the reality is that there is very little ordinary people can do; they can only watch helplessly as a select few create the vast majority of so-called new approaches—including new ways of production and new lifestyles.
So what should the vast majority of people do? This may be the real question of our time.
GPT-5.6 Leaks : Coming in June
- OpenAI researchers hinted that the model behind a recent major math breakthrough is already being used internally as a daily driver for debugging and technical work
- Internal testing tags iris-alpha, ember-alpha, and beacon-alpha were spotted during development, potentially pointing toward multiple GPT-5.6 variants being tested
- GPT-5.6 seems heavily focused on stronger multi-step reasoning, better agentic workflows, and improved frontend generation capabilities
- Canary testing references are already appearing in developer environments, the same quiet rollout pattern seen before GPT-5.5 launched
- Current leaks point toward two models arriving: GPT-5.6 and GPT-5.6 Pro
- GPT-5.6, Sonnet 4.8, and Gemini 3.5 Pro are all expected in June, next month is looking like an AI festival
An update: we’re 3xing the rate limits for Gemini models across all paid tiers in Antigravity and resetting everyone’s Gemini quota for the week.
We understand some people hit their rate limits quickly and wanted to respond fast. Lots more to come and enjoy building!
Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."
Live from Code with Claude: we're launching dreaming in Claude Managed Agents as a research preview.
Outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks are now in public beta.
Just when you thought AI drama couldn't get any weirder:
@Anthropic announces a compute partnership with @SpaceX – moving a chunk of its workload into Musk's Colossus 1 data center.
The same Musk who called Anthropic a "woke AI that hates straight white men"?
Yes. That one.
He insults you in public, then rents you GPUs at market rate.
2026 AI logic: Insult is free, compute is not.
Compute numbers:
Colossus 1 runs ~500 MW today; Anthropic is taking 300 MW – online this month.
Add the $100B+ compute deals already signed with Amazon, Google, Microsoft, CoreWeave, Fluidstack…
The SpaceX deal is pocket change, but it's the funniest pocket change in AI history.
The real irony:
Last year Anthropic pitched its AI for US DoD contracts – and was rejected.
The winners included SpaceX, OpenAI, Google… not Anthropic.
Now Anthropic runs on SpaceX servers, paying Musk to train Grok, who will compete for the next government contract.
In the AI land grab, there are no permanent enemies – only electricity bills and GPU depreciation.
When your biggest rival becomes your landlord, you know compute war has entered a new dimension.
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
