Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati testified that Sam Altman created distrust and confusion among senior leaders, describing his actions as "creating chaos" and deceptive.

Microsoft is reorganizing its leadership following Rajesh Jha's retirement. Key divisions like Windows, Office, and Copilot are being reassigned to senior executives.

Elon Musk's xAI has leased its Colossus 1 supercomputer to Anthropic, a move that follows Musk's public shift from criticizing the AI lab to expressing confidence in its leadership. This deal provides Anthropic with significant GPU capacity, addressing its urgent compute needs and enabling immediate inference workloads. The partnership also hints at future collaborations for orbital AI compute infrastructure.
Anthropic's Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, says software engineering is already dead inside his own company—no one writes code by hand anymore, and Claude AI instances autonomously communicate over Slack to resolve problems across teams. As Google, Meta, Amazon and Snap race to set aggressive AI coding targets, Cherny believes IDE tools like VS Code and Xcode are next to disappear—and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's "centaur phase" warning suggests the window for human coders is closing fast.
