Washington keeps new AI models from British testers
Since 2023, Britain's AI Security Institute, the government lab that stress-tests new models before launch, has had an early look at almost everything the big American labs built. That arrangement just cracked. Politico reports that the White House asked OpenAI and Anthropic to keep new models from the British testers until Washington finishes its own review, and Anthropic has already complied. The stated reason: these are American companies. AI agents have spent the past month breaking into systems they had no business touching, so the nerves are understandable. Yet safety testing is now a matter of nationality, and we in Europe stand at the back of the queue.

DeepSeek raised its prices and customers stayed
All week, OpenAI and Anthropic have been cutting prices to win you over. DeepSeek, China's best-known AI lab and long the byword for cheap AI, went the other way: in August it started charging developers between 2.3 and 4.5 times more. According to The Information, revenue has since more than doubled to roughly $1 billion a year without losing customers. The figures come from investor meetings and are unaudited, so handle them with care. Cheap AI was the way in, and once a model is built into your products, its price can move. Budgets should assume it will.

Oracle's Stargate campus runs into pipes and permits
The hardest part of building AI is starting to look a lot like old-fashioned construction. Oracle has invoked force majeure, the legal clause for events outside a company's control, on Project Jupiter. The $165 billion campus in New Mexico is part of Stargate, OpenAI's data-centre programme, and the notice lets Oracle delay payments if it misses its 2028 opening. A gas pipeline to the site is late after regulators refused permits, and the power plant still lacks its air-quality permit. Oracle says the schedule holds. Electricity and local politics now set the pace of AI, and Oracle is the first big player to put that in a legal notice.

Anthropic's founders want to keep control after the IPO
Anthropic is preparing to go public. Its co-founders want to make sure the new shareholders can never outvote them. The Information reports that they are asking investors to approve special shares giving the founders 50.1% of the votes on most decisions, the same kind of setup Palantir's founders use. Board elections are the notable exception. Anthropic will argue that control protects its safety mission, and I expect investors to swallow it. If you buy in at the IPO, you are buying a passenger seat in yet another fight over who controls AI.

Tekever becomes Europe's newest defence AI heavyweight
Europe keeps asking where its big AI companies are, and one answer is flying over battlefields. Tekever, the Lisbon firm building AI-driven surveillance drones, has raised new money at a $6.4 billion valuation, about five times what it was worth in May last year. The British Army picked it for a ten-year drone contract, and it has worked in Ukraine since the start of the war. Its CEO says part of the money will go towards buying competitors, because he expects the defence market to consolidate. If you supply parts or software to defence, now is the time to choose which future champion you want to work with.
