A year ago today, Google Cloud filed a formal complaint with the European Commission about Microsoft’s anti-competitive cloud licensing practices — specifically those that impose financial penalties on businesses that use Windows Server software on Azure’s biggest competitors.  Despite regulatory scrutiny, it’s clear that Microsoft intends to keep its restrictive licensing policies in place for most cloud customers. In fact, it’s getting worse.  As part of a recent earnings call, Microsoft disclosed that its efforts to force software customers to use Azure are “not anywhere close to the finish line,” and represented one of three pillars “driving [its] growth.” As we approach

We have made great strides toward more equitable workplaces in the past decade. This is particularly true since 2020 and something to celebrate on the occasion of International Women’s Day. It’s also an appropriate time to reflect on how we can continue to reach an equitable playing field by confronting biases and empowering all people in the workplace. As tech industry veterans, we’ve experienced our share of challenges in male-dominated workplaces — being talked over in meetings, having our contributions devalued or our knowledge and skills underestimated, and working much longer hours in the hopes of being given the same opportunities

Welcome back. With its new version of ChatGPT Images, OpenAI has launched its answer to Google's Nano Banana Pro. Make no mistake, Google's new model has been a breakthrough in creating more realistic images. A lot of that has been achieved by making the images more flawed, like our phone photos. The problem with Google's tool is that it sometimes changes parts of the image you don't want to change. That's what ChatGPT is trying to improve. It's promising that it only changes the parts of the image you want, making it much more effective as a photo editor. We'll

Welcome back.  If you've tried Google's Nano Banana Pro for creating AI-generated images in Gemini, then you've probably been impressed by how much more realistic the images are compared to earlier versions of tools like DALL-E and Midjourney. What's surprising is that the new AI image generators are looking more real by being more imperfect, as The Verge aptly put it. Specifically, it's making AI-generated images look more like our flawed phone photos, so you can no longer spot them by how smooth and perfect they look. That makes it even more critical for the industry to adopt C2PA watermarks.

Welcome back. I'm Jason Hiner, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as the new Editor-in-Chief of The Deep View.

Now I'm excited to cover it full-time with the team at The Deep View because there are a lot of big questions to ask as AI transforms work and society in the years ahead. And we're going to be covering it in some new ways, too — more on that soon! In the meantime, I'm glad

Welcome back. OpenAI may be getting nervous about its own models. The company warned in a report on Wednesday that the cyber capabilities of its frontier models are getting stronger. OpenAI is planning as if each of its new models could reach “high” levels of cybersecurity capability, as measured by its risk framework (one step below the “critical” threshold, where a model is so risky that it's not released to the public). To prepare for the problem they’re creating, OpenAI is establishing a Frontier Risk Council, an advisory group dedicated to assessing these risks. Still, as leading-edge models get better

Welcome back. SpaceX is shooting for the moon. According to Bloomberg, the Elon Musk-led space firm is seeking to raise significantly more than $30 billion in its IPO, targeting a valuation of $1.5 trillion. An IPO of that size would rival that of Saudi Aramco in 2019, which raised $29 billion at the time at a valuation of  $1.7 trillion. Targeting a mid-to-late 2026 listing, the funds raised will help the company pursue, quite literally, another moonshot: Space-based data centers. IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1.

Welcome back. Marc Benioff may rename Salesforce to Agentforce. Why? Because that's what the customers are talking about. It's another sign that the enterprise side of the AI boom, where most of the business is getting done, is rapidly consolidating around AI agents as the path toward creating AI value and true ROI. "We learned in focus groups customers don't talk about cloud anymore. They just want to talk about their agentic interface," said Benioff. Salesforce is not known as an innovator or leader in the AI movement, and so the name change would be more aspirational than a reflection

Welcome back. Major model developers have made the lofty vision of artificial general intelligence their North Star. But if we ever get there, will we even need it? Using AGI for every task might be overkill, Ruchir Puri, chief scientist at IBM, told The Deep View.  Puri sat down with The Deep View to discuss the problems with existing perceptions about AGI and how enterprises may get more out of their AI deployments with focused, niche models.

Welcome back. While OpenAI keeps signing aggressive deals to scale up its future computing power, Anthropic has quietly booked another big partnership aimed at helping businesses deploy AI in smart ways. The latest deal features enterprise data giant Snowflake. This one will allow Snowflake's 12,600 global customers running on Amazon, Microsoft, and Google clouds to deploy Anthropic AI agents while securely accessing enterprise data from Snowflake's databases. That's a powerful combination that could grow Anthropic's lead over OpenAI in the enterprise — where the real revenue is being made in AI right now. This deal also follows a series of

Welcome back. Anthropic has completed its first acquisition. The AI model firm announced Tuesday it has acquired Bun, a software development tools company, for an undisclosed sum. Anthropic has been using Bun for several months, and the acquisition gives the company direct control over the runtime powering its popular Claude Code offering, which reached $1 billion in run-rate revenue just 6 months after launch. It's the first of what may be several acquisitions to come from Anthropic as it seeks to strengthen its coding tools, which bring in a significant share of its revenue. IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1.

Welcome back. Just as new reports strongly suggested that OpenAI was about to roll out advertising on ChatGPT to accelerate the company's revenue growth, Sam Altman tapped the brakes on ads and other initiatives. According to The Information, the OpenAI CEO declared a "code red" to his staff on Monday. He rallied the team around one idea: improving ChatGPT to meet the challenges posed by competitors. It's the latest development in a surprising turnaround in the AI space. In August, OpenAI released its latest flagship model, GPT-5, which failed to deliver the same level of advances as previous models. This
