💰 Anthropic’s valuation goes vertical overnight
📬 Gmail turns into a searchable AI memory
🧰 Tools that replace clutter with clarity

  1. A US judge said there is enough evidence for Elon Musk’s case to go before a jury in March.

  3. OpenAI’s hybrid structure with a nonprofit owning 26% does not erase those early assurances.

  4. This case could set a precedent for how mission-first AI labs are allowed to evolve.
