1 min read
Summary
AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic are competing with each other as well as the emerging apps using their technology, with some discussions of deals with AI companies being cut short due to tensions between labs.
Anthropic cut access to its models to Windsurf, a popular AI-powered vibe coding tool, due to reports that OpenAI was in talks to acquire Windsurf, a deal worth $3bn that was never confirmed.
OpenAI announced a ‘record mode’ for its ChatGPT platform which will transcribe calls and summarise meeting notes, a feature offered by AI note-taking app Granola which recently raised $43m.
OpenAI’s chief product officer was previously reported as saying the company was navigating questions of competing with its API customers “with caution”.
Anthropic’s CEO and OpenAI’s CEO have both played down concerns about AI eliminating engineering jobs.
