While Anthropic and the Pentagon fought, OpenAI swooped in to secure a big deal. 

But at what cost? 

And while it seemed like the entire AI news world was wrapped up in the Anthropic-Trump-OpenAI drama, the rest of big tech went nuts.

This week’s theme apparently: drama and agents. 

We’ll get you caught up on all of the AI News That Matters. 👇
