Is OpenAI now the most ..... Open AI company? 🦞

After acquihiring OpenClaw, OpenAI is doubling down on Open Source and just kinda scooped up Anthropic's fumble for a (seemingly) easy score. 

And that wasn't Anthropic's only slip up of the week, as the bad AI news piled up for the Claude maker. 

And Google? 

Silently shipped the world's (new) most powerful model. 

Did you miss any of that? 

Don't worry. And definitely don't spend countless hours each week wondering how AI developments will impact you. 

That's our job. 

And with our weekly AI News That Matters segment, we keep you on the cutting edge.
