Benchmark Race

• OpenAI introduced an unnamed model that leapfrogged Anthropic’s Opus and Google’s Gemini on agentic benchmarks, resembling a GPT‑6 preview.
• Anthropic’s Opus 4.5 reproduced scientific papers end‑to‑end on CORE‑Bench.
• xAI released Grok 4.20, initially feared to crash the stock market via real‑time analysis, later confirmed by Elon Musk to be an experimental model.
• Google showcased the Titans architecture at NeurIPS 2025, promising Transformer‑level performance at RNN speeds.

Public Trust and Legal Issues

• Surveys by Edelman and Pew, highlighted by Andrew Ng, reveal Western skepticism toward AI, contrasting with strong enthusiasm in China.
• A judge ordered OpenAI to disclose 20 million anonymized ChatGPT logs in the New York Times copyright lawsuit.
• Andrew Ng urged trust‑building measures amid low Western excitement.

Breakthroughs

• GPT‑5 generated the key insight for a peer‑reviewed paper in Physics Letters B.
• Anthropic’s Interviewer tool pilot revealed professionals’ optimism about AI productivity, alongside concerns about reliability and job identity.
• Philosopher Amanda Askell tackled morality and consciousness in her first AMA.

Business Metrics

• Media leaks aggregated by Deedy Das indicate historic revenue growth for OpenAI and Anthropic, prompting questions about a potential AI bubble.
• JP Morgan Research notes that model‑training costs are “crashing.”
• At Anthropic, staff now use Claude for drafting code, marking a productivity milestone.

Philosophical Perspectives

• Anthropic’s Interviewer tool highlighted optimism about AI‑driven productivity but raised reliability and identity concerns.
• Amanda Askell explored AI morality and consciousness in an AMA session.

Future Outlook

• Google DeepMind launched a Singapore team for Gemini reasoning under Yi Tay.
• Geoffrey Hinton noted Google overtaking OpenAI in certain metrics.
• NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang predicted AI will generate 90 % of the world’s knowledge within 2–3 years.
• Ongoing competition raises risks of burnout or missteps, especially amid legal scrutiny such as the OpenAI logs case.

Rebuilding public trust—as advocated by Andrew Ng—will be crucial for translating rapid innovation into broad adoption and avoiding restrictive regulation. The frontrunners—OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind—are poised to reshape economies while democracies race China in the AI arms race.
