⚖️ Elon Musk says OpenAI betrayed its mission
LINK
|
- Elon Musk told jurors in an Oakland federal court that OpenAI abandoned its founding mission when it shifted from a charity to a for-profit company, arguing the pivot amounts to "stealing a charity" and sets a dangerous precedent.
- OpenAI's lawyer William Savitt countered that Musk himself pushed to restructure OpenAI as a for-profit in 2017 and wanted majority control, saying the lawsuit is really an attempt to hobble a rival to Musk's own AI company, xAI.
- The three-week trial could reshape OpenAI as it approaches a trillion-dollar valuation and a planned public offering, with Musk seeking a court order to unwind the October for-profit conversion that gave Microsoft a 27% stake and the nonprofit 26%.

☁️ OpenAI launches models on AWS
LINK
|
- OpenAI's models and its Codex coding agent are coming to Amazon Web Services through Amazon Bedrock, the two companies said Tuesday, with general availability expected in the next few weeks for AWS customers to try.
- A new service called Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI will let developers build customized agents that remember previous interactions, going beyond the open-weight OpenAI models that came to AWS back in August.
- The news follows Monday's reworked Microsoft deal letting OpenAI serve customers on any cloud, and builds on a $38 billion AWS commitment from November plus a $50 billion Amazon investment tied to two gigawatts of Trainium chips.

👶 EU says Meta fails underage user checks
LINK
|
- The European Commission has preliminarily ruled that Instagram and Facebook breach the Digital Services Act by failing to diligently identify and block children under 13 from using the platforms, despite Meta's own age restrictions.
- Regulators said minors can enter false birth dates with no effective checks, Meta's tools for reporting underage users are hard to use, and the company does not follow up on reports, letting children keep their accounts.
- If confirmed, the findings could lead to a fine of up to 6pc of Meta's worldwide annual turnover, and the Commission wants Meta to overhaul its risk assessment and bring in age-assurance technologies that are accurate and non-intrusive.

🎨 Anthropic unveils Claude for Creative Work
LINK
|
- Anthropic has rolled out Claude for Creative Work, a set of integrations that plug its AI directly into creative software from Adobe, Autodesk, Ableton, Blender, and Splice rather than asking users to adopt a separate tool.
- Each connector targets a specific task: conversational 3D modelling in Autodesk Fusion, natural-language scripting in Blender, real-time visual control in Resolume, prompt-to-3D concepts in SketchUp, and in-app royalty-free sample search through Splice.
- Anthropic has also joined the Blender Development Fund as a patron and is partnering with the Rhode Island School of Design, Ringling College of Art and Design, and Goldsmiths to give students and faculty access to Claude.

🚗 China halts new self-driving permits after Baidu outage
LINK
|
- China has stopped issuing new licenses for autonomous vehicles after more than 100 Baidu Apollo Go robotaxis suddenly stalled on the streets of Wuhan on March 31, stranding passengers and snarling city traffic.
- Three agencies including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology met with officials from robotaxi pilot cities, calling for a full self-review and better safety monitoring, with no clear end date for the suspension.
- The freeze blocks companies from adding robotaxis, starting test projects, or expanding to new cities, and it covers level four vehicles, sending Baidu, Pony AI, and WeRide shares lower in Wednesday trading.

FROM OUR PARTNER
Claude Code writes beautiful code. So does Codex. But here's the catch: they also think their code is perfect. Asking an AI to review its own work is like a student grading their own exam — they always pass. CodeRabbit CLI plugs into Claude Code and Codex as an external reviewer. Different AI, different architecture, 40+ static analyzers, and zero emotional attachment. The agent writes, CodeRabbit reviews, and the agent fixes — looping until clean. Free tier available. Try CodeRabbit's CLI. |
