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.

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
