Daily Briefing: Stripe Gives AI Agents a Wallet

Stripe launched Link, a digital wallet that lets AI agents initiate purchases on behalf of users with a human-in-the-loop approval flow. The design — agents propose, humans approve — addresses a foundational gap in agentic infrastructure: how autonomous systems spend money without unrestricted access. Stripe's existing merchant network gives it a first-mover advantage, but the real question is whether AI labs integrate Link or build competing payment layers. Also covered: Musk's testimony that xAI trained Grok on OpenAI models, Google Cloud's 63% revenue growth, Anthropic's rumored $900B+ valuation, and OpenAI's restricted cybersecurity model release.
