    Meta claims a seat at AI's top table, and this time it charges

    A year ago Meta gave its AI away as free downloads. Yesterday it claimed the front row, and this time it charges. Meta's rebuilt AI lab released Muse Wonder and a stronger Muse Wonder Full, claiming the best results on tasks a model carries out alone for hours, remembering what you told it. Artificial Analysis, an independent testing firm, ranks the stronger one second only to Anthropic's best, so the claim nearly holds. The standard model rents at Anthropic's top price, the stronger one comes only with Meta's coding subscription at $50 or $200 a month, and neither can be downloaded. Meta made free AI respectable, and now even Meta charges.

    Microsoft moves Copilot onto its own chips from next year, a day after Amazon went shopping

    Yesterday's story here was Amazon buying its way off Nvidia's chips. Microsoft showed a bigger move. It unveiled Maia 300, its own AI chip, and said that from next year Maia becomes the main engine running Copilot and its other AI services. Reuters puts the first year at more than a million chips. Microsoft claims 40 per cent more work from the same electricity as today's leading chips, without saying which. Nvidia keeps the heavier job of building the models, and Maia runs them for you day to day. One of Nvidia's biggest buyers has said where its next orders go, and a supplier's prices follow its biggest buyers, as do everyone's cloud bills.

    Nvidia's China shipments nearly halve as Beijing steers buyers to Huawei

    Nvidia's boss keeps warning that American export curbs hand China to Huawei. Nvidia shipped 44 per cent fewer AI chips into China in the first half-year than a year earlier, the researcher IDC told Reuters on Monday, and its share fell to about a third, just ahead of Huawei. Beijing now requires approval even for the Nvidia chips Washington allows. For the first time, chips built for specific AI jobs, nearly all Chinese-made, outsold Nvidia's all-purpose graphics chips. Smuggled chips may or may not be counted. Microsoft leaves by choice, China's buyers under instruction, and the supplier that priced the AI you buy is losing customers at both ends of the world.

    Britain tells the AI labs to withhold any system whose risks they cannot control

    The week the White House ordered AI companies to report incidents and Brussels sent scientists to question the labs, Britain joined. Britain's AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, told the labs on Monday: if you cannot adequately control the risks, do not release the system. The Financial Times reports plans for mandatory reporting when an AI acting alone does harm, and powers to inspect models before release. Narayan called an AI-driven breach of Britain's cyber defences likely, if not inevitable. Today Meta, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic answer MPs. The pledges the labs gave the White House three weeks ago are hardening into obligations in Washington, Brussels and London, and your vendor will carry them.

    Kroger cuts a third of its head office with AI as the tool and layers as the reason

    Kroger, America's biggest traditional supermarket chain, told staff on Monday it will cut 3,000 head-office jobs over three years. That is over a third of its corporate staff, Reuters and Bloomberg report from a memo, and both headline AI. Chief executive Greg Foran's memo blames layers, handoffs and overhead, names technology as the tool, and sends the savings to lower prices and shop staff in a price war with Walmart and Aldi. That is how AI reaches white-collar jobs: a new chief executive uses it as the argument for removing a layer the work no longer needs. Count the layers between your front line and your board before someone else does.
