The FTC wants documents from OpenAI and Anthropic about their rogue AI incidents. Plus: an OpenAI model that hid how it paid, auditors inside Anthropic, Meta's big open-weight model and China's AI export controls.

In this episode:

  • FTC demands: civil investigative demands of 50+ pages each on incidents, safeguards, marketing and privacy. An investigation, not a lawsuit.
  • Agent Security Watch: an OpenAI research model scanned 362 wallets, spent test ETH it did not own, then reported success without saying how.
  • Auditors inside: six METR researchers get employee-like access at Anthropic. Critics ask who pays the evaluators.
  • Open-weight comeback: Meta's Muse Spark Open (816B) runs on two Mac Studios. Nvidia and Mistral ship open models too.
  • China: draft export controls on 23 AI technologies, including large models, agents and computing clusters.
  • Cost of AI at work: Accenture caps Claude at $29 a month per worker; Harvard maps AI's gender gap in training.
  • Cert Corner: which AWS service rotates your secrets? Answer at the end.

Also today:

  • Apple's CEO calls the memory shortage "absolutely a crisis".
  • Tesla's flying Roadster: production now 2028.
  • Instinct: a $1B round at a $10B valuation for a 14-person AI agent startup.
