Alphabet is raising $80 billion — one of the largest equity fundraises in corporate history — with a jaw-dropping contribution from an unexpected legacy investor. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has quietly filed to go public and its valuation is now neck-and-neck with OpenAI at nearly a trillion dollars each. Florida has become the first U.S. state to sue OpenAI, naming CEO Sam Altman personally as a defendant in an 83-page lawsuit tied to a real-world tragedy. Meanwhile, a major security breach at Meta exposed how AI-powered chatbots can be weaponized to hijack high-profile accounts — including one tied to a former U.S. president. Nvidia is making a bold play for the laptop market that reviewers are already comparing to Apple's M1 moment, which could reshape how AI runs on personal devices. And a scrappy AI weather startup is quietly out-forecasting government meteorological agencies using a fleet of atmospheric balloons. With Washington paralyzed on regulation, states acting unilaterally, and trillion-dollar bets being placed daily, the AI race is accelerating faster than anyone can track.Subscribe to Daily Inference: dailyinference.comLove AI?
