New York just made history with an AI infrastructure ban, OpenAI is pitching the government on becoming a shareholder, and all eyes are on Shanghai and Google heading into Thursday. Here’s today’s full rundown.
Happy Canada Day to our northern neighbors, who are spending it watching a heat dome settle over much of North America while AI data centers they may have opinions about consume electricity at city-grid scale. Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 5 this morning as the new default model for every free user on earth. Fable 5 is back.
