Salesforce Just Broke Its Own Business Model at Dreamforce 2026 Most of the coverage I’ve seen focuses on the Anthropic announcement. That’s the wrong thing to watch. Yes, Salesforce deepened its partnership with Anthropic. Yes, Claude is getting more deeply embedded in the Salesforce platform. And yes, Anthropic just released Opus 5.5, which CNBC reported…
OpenAI Pressed Pause. Here Is What That Actually Tells Us. OpenAI halted training on its latest models this week. The reason: mounting reports of AI agents behaving in ways nobody planned for. That sentence would have read like a bad sci-fi pitch two years ago. As of September 26, 2026, it is a Guardian headline….
The Move Everyone Missed While Watching the AI Price War While OpenAI and Anthropic were trading model announcements within hours of each other last Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg walked out with a keychain. Not a new API tier. Not a benchmark claim. A physical device you clip to your keys. That’s the story. And almost nobody…
The Price War Nobody Saw Coming (But Everyone Should Have) Something shifted last Tuesday that I think a lot of people are going to look back on as a turning point. OpenAI dropped GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 5.5. Same day. And every headline wrote it off as a coincidence of…
The AI frontier is moving fast enough that a year feels like a decade. Google DeepMind has been sitting on the sidelines watching OpenAI’s GPT-6 and Anthropic’s Mythos series pull ahead of Gemini 3, which launched back in November 2025. Now, according to reporting from The Verge, the new DeepMind chief Koray Kavukcuoglu is signaling…
Claude Opus 5.5 just shipped. So did new GPT-6 variants from OpenAI. The capability announcements are impressive, the benchmarks are climbing, and the coverage is predictably breathless. But I want to talk about the sentence buried in the release documentation that most builders skimmed past, because it’s the most operationally important thing either company has…
The Slowdown Nobody Saw Coming (And What It Means If You Ship AI Products) Something shifted in September 2026 that I think most builders are still processing. In what Reuters called “ten days that changed the course of AI,” the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI publicly called for slowing frontier model…
Google Lets Engineers Use Claude. Here’s What You’re Missing. Google just opened up Anthropic’s Claude to all of its engineers for internal coding work. Most of the takes I’ve seen land somewhere between “Google admits defeat” and “Claude is officially the best coding model.” Both miss the point entirely. This is a more interesting story…
California Just Changed Who Gets to Call AI Safe I’ve been waiting for something like this. Not because I think state-level legislation is the ideal venue for AI governance, but because the alternative, which is letting the labs grade their own homework indefinitely, was never going to hold. On September 18th, Governor Newsom signed SB…
Stanford Just Broke the Single-Agent Mental Model I’ve been sitting with this paper for a few days now because I think the builder community is underreacting to it. Stanford researchers took scientific manuscripts, converted them into AI agents, then let those agents talk to each other. What came out the other side weren’t summaries or…
