    Inside Google Cloud, Google Cloud

    In the AI era, when one year can feel like 10, you’re forgiven for forgetting what happened last month, much less what happened all the way back in January. To jog your memory, we pulled the readership data for top product and company news of 2025. And because we publish a lot of great thought leadership and customer stories, we pulled that data too. Long story short: the most popular stories largely mapped to our biggest announcements. But not always — there were more than a few sleeper hits on this year’s list. Read on to relive this huge year,

  • Anthropic tells on itself in safety report an hour ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back.  IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. OPUS 4.6 SAFETY RISK IS LOW, BUT NOT ZERO 2. UBER IS TRYING TO AI-HACK YOUR GROCERY LIST 3. SPACEX + TESLA: HEADED FOR ONE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE? RESEARCH OPUS 4.6 SAFETY RISK IS LOW, BUT NOT ZERO Anthropic has long aimed to assure the public that it has safety well in hand. Now, it’s telling on itself.  Early Wednesday, the company published a report assessing the risk of Claude Opus 4.6, the latest iteration of its Opus model family and Anthropic’s smartest model to date. Anthropic claims that the “sabotage risk,” or risk that autonomous actions lead to catastrophic outcomes, is “very

  • AI leads people to work more, not less a day ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. AI isn’t just reshaping jobs, it’s quietly changing how much we work. A Harvard study shows AI adopters often end up with fuller plates, not lighter ones. Meanwhile, a former Anthropic employee explains why he left the AGI race to focus on applied AI and agents at Google, arguing that distribution and trust matter more than the superintelligence race. And Runway’s $315M fundraising round signals where investors think AI goes next: world models that understand physics, video, and reality itself. As we've been covering a lot on The Deep View, the post-LLM era is emerging, and it looks

  • One prompt can break AI safety, Microsoft warns 2 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. Microsoft just exposed how fragile AI safety still is, showing that a single prompt can undo alignment techniques and push models toward harmful outcomes. Will it serve as a wake-up call that governance can’t rely on training alone? The Super Bowl AI buzz took an unexpected turn when the ai.com ad hijacked attention with a call-to-action that drew so many clicks it crashed their site. This suggests mainstream users may be more AI-ready than we thought. Finally, OpenAI officially began testing ads in ChatGPT, brushing off Anthropic’s bullying and signaling that the AI business model wars are now

  • AI Super Bowl ads missed the mark 3 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. AI ran a lot of plays at the Super Bowl this year. Anthropic wanted everyone to know it's taking the high road on chatbot ads by taking a cheap shot at OpenAI. Meanwhile, nearly all of the leading AI companies had their own ads. Waymo unveiled a world model built on Google's Genie 3 and plans to use it to simulate rare and dangerous driving scenarios — giving world models one of their first clear real-world use cases. Apple's Tim Cook has signaled it's time for Apple to roll out AI devices, and The Deep View's Sabrina Ortiz

  • AI agents are moving faster than you thought 4 days ago by The Deep View

    Hello friends. Welcome to a special edition of The Deep View, presented in partnership with DEEL. AI AGENTS ARE MOVING FASTER THAN YOU THOUGHT AI agents in business aren't something that will happen in the future. They’re already here, and they're scaling a lot more rapidly than we expected. In this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, we talk to Matt Yanchyshyn, who leads AWS Marketplace at Amazon Web Services. Yanchyshyn's team helps organizations discover, buy, and deploy software on AWS, and one of the biggest shifts they’ve seen over the past six months is the explosion of AI agents in real-world use cases.
