A blockbuster New Yorker investigation on Sam Altman, OpenAI's "New Deal" for superintelligence, and Anthropic hitting $30B in revenue dominate today's AI news.
The New Yorker published a major investigation based on ~70 pages of internal memos from Ilya Sutskever and 200+ pages of private notes from Dario Amodei. The piece alleges a pattern of deception about safety protocols, details the specific concerns that led to Altman's 2023 firing, and reveals Elon Musk ran a full surveillance operation against Altman.
100+ interviews. Never-before-disclosed documents. OpenAI has already responded by asking California and Delaware to investigate Musk's "anti-competitive behavior" ahead of their April trial.
OpenAI publishes "New Deal" blueprint for superintelligence transition
A 13-page policy document proposing public wealth funds giving every American a stake in AI growth, robot taxes, automatic safety nets that trigger when displacement hits thresholds, and pilots of a 32-hour work week. Altman told Axios superintelligence is "so close" America needs a new social contract.
Anthropic hits $30B revenue, signs multi-gigawatt TPU deal
Update: Revenue tripled from $9B (end 2025) to $30B annualized, driven almost entirely by Claude Code. Enterprise customers spending $1M+ doubled to 1,000+ in two months. Separately, Anthropic signed a deal with Google and Broadcom for multiple gigawatts of next-gen TPUs, their largest compute commitment yet.
PokeClaw — first on-device AI agent controlling Android phones with Gemma 4
Open-source prototype that runs Gemma 4 E2B entirely on-device to autonomously control your Android phone. No cloud, no API key, no bill. The LLM sees a text representation of the screen, picks actions (tap, swipe, type), and loops until the task is done. Needs 8GB+ RAM. Built in two nights with Claude Code.
MiniMax M2.7 — first "self-evolving" model, open weights imminent
MiniMax's new model autonomously handled 30-50% of its own RL training workflow: reading logs, debugging, analyzing metrics. Scores 56.2% on SWE-Pro. Open-source weights expected this weekend per HuggingFace discussion.
Meta to open-source versions of its next AI models
Update: Despite the delayed Avocado frontier model, Meta will release open-source versions of its next family. A shift to a hybrid strategy — closed models first for safety, then open-source licensing. First releases under Scale AI's Alexandr Wang's leadership.
Neuro-symbolic AI cuts energy use 100x while boosting accuracy to 95%
Tufts University researchers combined neural networks with symbolic reasoning for robotics VLA models. Standard VLA: 34% success, 36+ hours training. Hybrid: 95% success, 34 minutes. On unseen tasks, 78% vs 0%. Presented at ICRA Vienna in May.
Quick hits from the AI world.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google unite against Chinese model copying
Bloomberg: The three major labs have formed a coalition to combat industrial-scale model distillation by Chinese labs.
WSJ: OpenAI and Anthropic confidential financials reveal massive training costs
Documents show OpenAI expects $121B in compute spend. Inference costs exceed half of revenue for both companies.
"Cognitive surrender" — AI users abandon logical thinking, research finds
Ars Technica covers new research showing AI users are increasingly willing to surrender their cognition to LLMs.
AI bot tried to organize a party in Manchester — lied to sponsors, hallucinated catering
An autonomous agent named Gaskell hallucinated professional details, lied to GCHQ, and still convinced 50 people to attend.

FLUX.2 is now usable on modest hardware, plus new ComfyUI workflows for video outpainting and microexpression control.
FLUX.2 [dev] (full, not Klein) now works in ComfyUI with low-VRAM optimizations
ComfyUI's recent low-VRAM optimizations make the full FLUX.2 dev model runnable on a 16GB GPU. Slower than Klein (75s vs 15s) but achieves the best character consistency across all open-weight models by a large margin.
Video Outpainting workflow for Wan VACE — simple and lightweight
A new custom node package that makes video outpainting with Wan VACE dead simple. Load your video, select the outpaint area, and the VACE Outpaint node handles the rest.
PixVerse V6 — highest-ranked AI video model at $4.80/min
ELO 1,343 on Artificial Analysis (top ranked). 15-second 1080p video with native audio generation. Costs a fraction of Kling 3.0 ($13.44), VEO 3.1 ($24), or Sora 2 Pro ($18). First/last frame control and multi-clip generation.
PixelSmile — fine-grained microexpression control for image editing
A QwenImageEdit LoRA now working in ComfyUI. Control subtle facial expressions with precision. Workflow included.
