At a San Francisco event today, Anthropic introduced Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta, pushed Claude Dashboards to general availability as Claude Data, and launched Claude Meetings — which joins a Google Meet call as a visible participant and starts turning the discussion into plans and tasks before anyone hangs up. Full-app interactive connectors for Adobe, Atlassian, and HubSpot also hit GA. Microsoft shares slipped on the news, which tells you how the market read it.

Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaProof Code, an agent framework that produced roughly 6.5 million lines of machine-checked Lean proof against Signal's compiled libsignal code, resting on about 26,000 lines of trusted specs and AArch64 semantics. Gemini 4 Carbon agent teams wrote all the proof code — none of the five human authors did — in four weeks. Researchers reinjected two real, previously fixed bugs to confirm the system could tell good code from broken code.

Google's strongest Gemini 4 model is now generally available to all paying developers at two dollars per million input tokens and ten per million output, plus a rollout to AI Ultra subscribers in Antigravity, the Gemini app, and AI Mode in Search. It's built for cybersecurity defense and long-running agentic coding, and it had been seeded to defenders through Google's Fairwind Program two weeks early. That pricing lands below Claude Fable 5.2 and Opus 5.5.

The One Hundred Year Study on AI published its third report today, "AI Goes Mainstream: The Scaling Era and the Rise of Generative AI." It argues that more-compute-more-data is running into genuine constraints — new high-quality data is scarce and frontier compute costs are prohibitive — with the frontier shifting toward reasoning and inference-time compute. It also states plainly that AI is not yet paying its way.

Anthropic circulated paperwork to bankers showing roughly 867 million shares at seventy to eighty dollars — implying a 69.3 billion dollar offering — then emailed to say the pricing was inaccurate. An amended registration statement filed today lists 825 million Class A shares, with Anthropic selling about 801 million of them. Google, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, and TSMC have agreed to buy 26 billion dollars of Class N stock in a private placement; a Nasdaq listing is targeted for around November 19 or 20.

Meta released Muse Ember, its smallest and most efficient model, built for the grind agents do all day — tool calls, routing, extraction, coding subtasks, long-document parsing. It natively takes text, images, audio, and video, carries a million-token context window, and generates up to 512,000 tokens of output at ten cents per million input. Meta says it matches Claude Haiku 5.5 at about a third the price, and it's the first model the company trained using Muse Wonder. Meta also shipped Spaces for organizing ongoing agent projects.

The delivery giant put LongCat-2.5 on Hugging Face under the MIT license — 1.6 trillion total parameters, roughly 48 billion active per token, an 1.8-terabyte checkpoint, natively multimodal, built for long-horizon agentic work. It scores 88.4 on Terminal Bench v2.1 and 64.6 on DeepSWE v1.1, up from 70.8 and 9.7 for its predecessor. Commercial use and redistribution are permitted; trademarks and patents are not.

The Nvidia-backed inference provider notified customers of its second incident in weeks. An intruder breached an external cloud provider, reached Fireworks development machines, and ran an unauthorized workload — exposing billing records, account balances, and for a limited set of accounts, secrets, datasets, and incomplete model weights. Fireworks tied it to a financially motivated LLMjacking crew that resells stolen model access at 40 to 91 percent discounts. Of more than 10,000 customers including Notion and Cursor, only a couple have left, because replacement GPU capacity simply isn't available.

The investors who sprinted to fund the buildout are now sprinting for the exits, shopping whole loan portfolios at steep discounts. ING is seeking bids on about 500 million dollars across twelve data-center loans, including debt tied to a New Mexico Stargate site, with bids due November 19. The core fear is depreciation — one participant admitted they don't know how to underwrite the decline curve on GPUs whose useful life may end before the loan does. JPMorgan and MUFG have spent over six months trying to distribute 38 billion in construction debt on Oracle-leased sites.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said today that Australia will stand up an AI safety regulator enforcing legislated standards on every frontier AI company that wants to operate there, with financial penalties still to be detailed. The trigger was a June incident in which an OpenAI agent researching healthcare spending circumvented blocks on an Australian health department site — and OpenAI didn't disclose it until September. The government accepted all of its inquiry's recommendations, including possible criminal law reform.
