Perplexity just launched a feature that lets different AI models collaborate on the same task. Called Perplexity Computer, it taps Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT 5.2 depending on what you need.
Anthropic having a backbone is tremendously heartening to me. Government threatened to take their tech and they didn’t blink. They’re deep in the red with nothing to lose but Claude. More companies should be like Anthropic.
(WSJ) Update on the Anthropic AI company interaction with the SECDEF regarding the guardrails on the use of their AI, their business relationship, etc. Until government limits are established, look for this to continue, IMO.
“However, in a narrow set of cases, we believe AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values. Some uses are also simply outside the bounds of what today’s technology can safely and reliably do.”
“A Chinese keyboard warrior inadvertently leaked information about politically motivated influence operations through a ChatGPT account.” www.darkreading.com/cyberattacks...
The fact that Hegseth is bullying Anthropic to remove or modify certain safeguards embedded in its AI systems so they can turn their drones into Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems is actually terrifying
"Perhaps this is a low bar but it isn’t clear any of the other leading AI companies would put principle above profits in ANY scenario. The Pentagon is sure to make Anthropic pay for daring to defy them," one commentator said of CEO Dario Amodei's blog post.
I have a strong suspicion that part of the reason they are pushing back is that they genuinely believe Claude is alive and probably asked it what to do. But still, I’ll take it!

OpenAI says it will overhaul safety protocols and establish direct contact with Canadian police, after not alerting authorities about the Tumbler Ridge suspect (Mickey Djuric/Politico)
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has threatened to punish the artificial intelligence company Anthropic
if it doesn’t let the Pentagon use its technology however it wants
—apparently even to create autonomous killer drones
or conduct surveillance of Americans.
OpenAI made a series of pledges Thursday to Canadian officials to bolster safety protocols following the fatal shooting in British Columbia in which the suspect interacted with OpenAI’s chatbot.
