You finished today's edition. 13 changes across 4 companies.
Still unconfirmed by Anthropic: Tom's Hardware and India Today report the draft allows blocking a model only if it risks 50 deaths or $1 billion in damages.
Tom's Hardware says the proposal would effectively make the Commerce Department the only agency able to stop an AI model.
Mother Jones calls the threshold alarming, and Firstpost says it raises questions.
No confirmed changes at xAI today; coverage was mostly about Elon Musk's comments on AI and the US debt.
That's everything.
That's everything that changed at the five labs since yesterday. Go enjoy your Sunday.
The next edition arrives tomorrow morning.

Nothing is hidden. Here is everything Enough.ai read today that didn't make the page, grouped by the reason it was left out. Most AI news is this.
Opinion and analysis66
These were model comparisons, how-to guides, reviews, podcasts, newsletters and columns, including takes on Musk's focus and Hollywood's view of tech leaders.
These only mentioned the companies in passing or matched by coincidence, such as the OpenCode breach at a third-party tool, the Gemini crypto exchange, horoscopes, medical chatbot studies and news about X and Tesla.
These covered leaked revenue and loss figures for Anthropic and OpenAI, IPO talk, employee share sales, earnings previews and stock moves tied to AI deals, with no new deal confirmed.
These were forecasts: Jack Clark's GDP and timeline predictions, Elon Musk saying AI and robots will fix US debt, a Minecraft demo by Gemini agents, and chatbot price predictions for crypto.
These covered stories from yesterday with nothing new: Anthropic's Canadian data center, its elliptic curve and quantum research, Replit switching to OpenAI, OpenAI's misbehaving agents, the eight-state lawsuit, Meta in Brazil, Meta's glasses bug fix, and coverage of Meta's terms from before it removed the clause.
Each of these rested on one outlet, including an Anthropic appeals court filing over the Pentagon ban, ChatGPT controlling Chrome tabs, ChatGPT Slides, Claude Code plugins, Grok in Office apps, SpaceX nearing a Cursor deal, a lawsuit over Meta's glasses deals, and unannounced OpenAI Aurora models.
These were about things announced earlier: xAI's Grok Bot post, Meta's Muse Wonder models, Google's universal shopping cart, an earlier Gemini Flash model, and earlier ABC reports on Anthropic's Pentagon dispute.
Several outlets followed a Financial Times report that Anthropic is consulting lawyers on how AI agents should negotiate deals, but it is exploratory work and nothing has changed for users.
