Cover Image for Microsoft dumps OpenAI for Claude

Table of contents

🤝 Microsoft Cheats on OpenAI with Anthropic

  • Microsoft just started using Claude for Office features because apparently OpenAI can't make a decent PowerPoint slide. Nothing says "strategic partnership" like shopping around for your ex's competitor.

  • The OpenAI‑Microsoft marriage is getting messy. When you're paying Amazon's cloud to use a rival's AI, your "exclusive partnership" isn't looking so exclusive. (source)

📈 Oracle Becomes the AI Gold Rush's Biggest Pickaxe Seller

  • Oracle's stock exploded 40% after revealing that desperate AI companies are throwing multi‑billion‑dollar contracts at them for cloud computing. OpenAI and xAI are basically begging for GPUs.

  • While everyone fights over who has the smartest AI, Oracle is quietly becoming the arms dealer of the AI war — and getting closer to a $1 trillion valuation. (source)

💰 Nebius Raises $3B Because Data Centers Are the New Oil Wells

  • AI cloud company Nebius is raising $3 billion right after landing a $17.4 billion deal with Microsoft. Apparently, storing AI models costs more than some countries' GDP.

  • The real AI race isn't about algorithms — it's about who can afford the astronomical electricity bills. (source)

🧠 Mercor Hits $10B Valuation for Teaching AI Basic Human Decency

  • A startup that connects AI labs with human trainers just hit a $10+ billion valuation with $450 M in revenue. Turns out teaching robots not to be terrible is expensive.

  • Even "superintelligent" AI still needs humans to explain why it shouldn't write bomb recipes or political manifestos. (source)

💻 Reflection AI Worth $5.5B for Making GitHub Copilot Look Slow

  • This coding AI startup went from zero to $5.5 billion in six months. Investors are throwing money at anything that can write JavaScript without crying.

  • AI coding tools are the new crypto — everyone's convinced they'll be millionaires until they realize the AI still can't center a div. (source)

🔥 Nvidia Drops "Rubin CPX" Chips for Video Generation

  • Nvidia's new chips are specifically designed for creating videos and writing code. Because apparently regular GPUs aren't expensive enough yet.

  • Nvidia is building tomorrow's hardware for today's hype bubble — and somehow it keeps working. (source)

📄 Claude Becomes Your Overqualified Intern

  • Anthropic just taught Claude to create Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks directly in chat. Finally, an AI that can do the work you've been avoiding.

  • Claude went from "smart chatbot" to "digital employee that doesn't need health insurance." (source)

📱 Arm Wants to Put AI in Your Toaster

  • Arm's new "Lumex" chips will run AI directly on your phone without internet. Soon your smartphone will be smarter than you offline.

  • Edge AI means your devices can spy on you even when the Wi‑Fi is down. Progress! (source)

  • Real Simple Licensing wants to help AI companies legally pay for training data. Reddit and Yahoo are already on board because lawsuits are expensive.

  • Someone finally realized that stealing the entire internet for AI training might have legal consequences. (source)

🍎 Apple's AI Strategy: "We'll Figure It Out by 2026"

  • Apple barely mentioned AI at their iPhone event and delayed AI Siri until 2026. Tim Cook's master plan is apparently "let Google do the hard work."

  • Apple went from "think different" to "think eventually" in the AI race. (source)

🤫 AlterEgo Reads Your Mind (Literally)

  • This wearable detects jaw muscle signals when you "speak" in your head, letting you control devices telepathically. Privacy advocates are screaming internally.

  • We've officially reached the "Black Mirror episode" phase of tech development. (source)

🎧 Ex‑Googlers Build AI That Remembers Everything You Say

  • TwinMind raised $6M for an app that records your conversations and turns them into searchable notes. It's like having a personal NSA agent, but voluntary.

  • Finally, an AI that can remember where you put your keys — and also every embarrassing thing you've ever said. (source)

🤗 AI Tamagotchi Startup Fights Loneliness with Shared Virtual Pets

  • Born raised $15M for Pengu, an AI companion you "co‑parent" with friends. Because nothing says healthy relationships like jointly raising a digital penguin.

  • We've gone from "AI will replace humans" to "AI will help humans pretend to have friends." (source)

🎓 Anchor Founders Launch AI University in Your Pocket

  • Oboe creates personalized learning courses on any topic using AI. It's like Khan Academy, but with more hallucinations and venture capital.

  • Why learn from experts when you can learn from an AI that learned from experts who learned from Wikipedia? (source)

Until tomorrow (if the data centers don't melt),

P.S. If your jaw starts twitching near an AlterEgo device, you might accidentally order 47 pizzas. Consider this your warning.

P.P.S. Microsoft using Claude in Office is like McDonald's serving Burger King fries — technically possible, but deeply weird.
