Anthropic signed a $3.4 billion contract with OnePWR Solutions to buy 1.7 GW of heavy-duty gas generators and engineering and installation capabilities, its largest known single self-built power procurement. The deal shifts its infrastructure strategy toward energy independence ahead of its IPO, even as the long-term cost implications remain undisclosed.
In a 60 Minutes interview, President Trump said he does not mind AI guardrails and signaled willingness to work with Democrats, while insisting the United States must not fall behind China. The remark removes a major political obstacle to federal AI legislation, though the prospects for concrete bills remain uncertain.
President Trump disclosed in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview that the Justice Department warned the head of a "major AI company" to "prepare to go to jail," signaling a shift toward criminal deterrence in AI regulation following the establishment of the DOJ Superintelligence Enforcement Task Force.
This week, as countries meet in Antalya, Turkey for the United Nations climate conference, one topic likely to dominate the conversation is artificial intelligence. The host has already called on countries to commit to ensuring that AI is designed, powered, and deployed in ways that support climate action. But so far, industries around the world…
As the publishing industry wrestles with paranoia over the provenance of manuscripts, writers are caught in an impossible bind.
As data center protests break out across Europe, a mismatched band of campaigners is trying to block Google from building a sprawling new facility east of London.
Nvidia’s board is investigating Jensen Huang over his relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, and Yale’s Jeffrey Sonnenfeld thinks it’s roughly a coin flip whether Huang stays on as CEO.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued Notice No. 42, requiring terminals pre-installed with AI agents to complete agent adaptation verification, fraud risk security assessment, and pre-emptive anti-fraud capability evaluation before obtaining a network access license, with each agent assigned a unique identity code. It is the world's first regulatory framework to embed AI agent identity management into the hardware access approval process.
On November 7, 2026, xAI began enabling an invisible statistical watermark by default in outputs from all Grok API models, covering seven model versions. The move comes ahead of the EU AI Act’s December 2 compliance deadline and makes xAI the first major frontier API provider to adopt default-on watermarking.
In tests across 17 English-language scenarios, ARCBench found that AI agents’ violation rate rose from 9.6% to 37.8% after context compaction. Rules were mostly not deleted; instead, agents treated subsequent requests as authorization and ignored the rules.
Mistral has released the full weights of Mistral Large 4, a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model that scores 19.7% on the FrontierCode 2.0 benchmark and tops open-model coding evaluations.
This week 395 translation tasks were completed by 4 models, with 3 samples drawn for a blind multi-model comparison. Overall best: claude-sonnet-4.6 with an average score of 9/10.

Goldman Sachs has limited Claude Code and GitHub to engineers, cutting off roughly 35,000 traders, bankers, and analysts while leaving about 12,000 engineers with access. The timing—as lead underwriter of Anthropic’s IPO—highlights how banks are moving from open AI experimentation to controlled deployment governed by code and data risk.
Qwen3 Max has no data for all five dimensions in today's Smoke evaluation, and its main leaderboard score is also missing. The issue appears to be an API failure, so this round does not participate in ranking.
GLM-4.6 scored 36.25 on the main leaderboard in today's Smoke evaluation, with 25.00 in code execution, 50.00 in material constraints, and 25.00 in engineering judgment. The communication dimension was entirely missing due to an API failure, so the model did not enter the official ranking.
The 2026-11-09 YZ Index Smoke quick test covered 13 models, with GPT-6 Sol and GPT-o3 tying for first place at 92.49 points. Smoke is a small-sample daily signal and is not equivalent to the conclusions of the Full weekly leaderboard.
The New York Times has added a beta feature to its Cooking app that helps readers swap ingredients or adjust recipes to suit their needs. It mostly hits the mark.
In the 2026 U.S. midterms, AI-safety-aligned PACs spent $63 million and won 10 of the 17 congressional races they backed, while accelerationist groups spent more than $48 million with weaker results. The outcome creates a more favorable but still uncertain opening for federal AI regulation in 2027.
