Our take

This is a fight over who gets to call itself the safe big bet. The two labs count revenue differently, with OpenAI netting out partner shares and accusing Anthropic of counting full contract value, so investors are comparing numbers that do not line up.

   Funding & BusinessEveryone covered this

   1. Anthropic is in talks for a second $45 billion compute deal with Nscale.

   It would add 460 megawatts from a West Virginia site running Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips. Microsoft just pulled out of anchoring a flagship Nscale data center in the UK after power delays pushed supply into the 2030s.

   Safety & SecurityWidely covered

   4. Hackers took API keys from 1.4% of OpenCode Console users.

   Charges hit hundreds of dollars and some topped $1,000, and the AI tools the team asked for help kept refusing to read the malicious code. Anthropic and Google blocked the exposed keys, and refunds are underway.

   6. Microsoft finished pre-training MAI-Base-2, a 2.8 trillion parameter model.

   Microsoft says its training was 4.2 to 12.3 times more compute-efficient than a DeepSeek base model. Weights will be licensed to partners, not released.
