1. Microsoft committed $10 billion to Japan for 2026–2029, stating it was its largest ever investment in the country.

2. Deepseek reported that its v4 model would run exclusively on Huawei chips, with China's major tech firms ordering hundreds of thousands of units and Nvidia excluded from early testing.

3. OpenAI shifted Codex in ChatGPT business plans from fixed licenses to usage-based pricing, so companies would pay based on actual usage rather than per-seat licenses.

4. Zhipu AI released GLM-5V-Turbo, a multimodal model that processed images, video, and text and was designed to convert design mockups directly into executable front-end code.

5. Anthropic explained that Claude Code's rapid usage drain was attributable to peak-hour caps and expanding context windows, and it added features via Claude Code and Cowork to allow Claude to directly operate Mac and Windows desktops.
