A four-month-old startup has raised at least $500 million at a $4 billion valuation. Recursive Superintelligence is backed by former researchers from Google Deepmind and OpenAI who want to build an AI that improves itself.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei sees no limits to AI scaling and is urging the industry not to downplay the risk of job losses, but to make the upside big enough to offset the disruption.

Anthropic has kept its Claude Mythos cybersecurity model on a short leash, pointing to capabilities it says no rival can match. But two new studies suggest that even small, openly available models can reproduce most of the vulnerability analyses Anthropic has put on display.

Salesforce is opening its entire platform to AI agents. With "Headless 360," the API becomes the user interface and the browser becomes obsolete. CEO Marc Benioff is putting into practice exactly what OpenAI's Sam Altman recently called an inevitable shift.

Just 10 to 15 minutes with an AI assistant is enough to measurably weaken problem-solving ability and persistence on later tasks done without AI, according to a new study from researchers in the US and UK.

Deepseek is reportedly ready to give up its independence. The Chinese AI startup is seeking outside backers for the first time, aiming to raise at least $300 million. The shift comes after delayed model releases, top researchers being poached by rivals, and mounting pressure from deep-pocketed tech giants.
