# AI News Digest - 2026-04-09

1. Microsoft AI published a commentary by CEO Mustafa Suleyman that stated training compute for frontier AI models had increased by about 1 trillion times since 2010, forecasted further exponential capacity growth including a projection of 100 million H100-equivalents by 2027, and reported that Microsoft had launched the Maia 200 accelerator in January, which it said delivered roughly 30% better performance per dollar.

2. Meta Superintelligence Labs shipped Muse Spark, which it designated as its first frontier model released without open weights, and independent testing reported that the model had narrowed performance gaps with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

3. Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview was characterized as a model deemed too dangerous to release, reflecting a return to withholding decisions for certain frontier models.

4. Stability AI launched Brand Studio, a commercial service that enabled creative teams to generate brand-consistent images using custom-trained models, automated production workflows, and precision image-editing tools.
