A surge of users is moving from ChatGPT to Claude after Anthropic’s stance against certain military uses of AI collided with the Trump administration’s response and OpenAI’s Pentagon deal. The shift is already reshaping app-store rankings and sign-up metrics.
SpaceXAI released Grok 4.5, its first major model since going public, arguing it can match top rivals while running faster and at sharply lower token prices. Elon Musk called it “Opus-class,” positioning the system against Anthropic and OpenAI as a busy week of releases accelerates.
Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, has filed confidentially for an initial public offering after a $65 billion funding round that valued it near $1 trillion, intensifying a high-stakes race with OpenAI and other would-be tech giants.
SpaceX said it priced its initial public offering at $135 a share, raising $75 billion and surpassing Saudi Aramco’s 2019 record. The listing could also propel Elon Musk toward a milestone no individual has reached before: trillionaire status.
SpaceX said it will acquire the AI coding startup Cursor in a $60 billion all-stock deal, days after its IPO, as it races to strengthen an AI division roiled by controversy and restructuring.
