Twitch turned on AI training for every streamer by default
Amazon's live streaming platform has quietly changed the deal for the people who fill it. Twitch now feeds your broadcasts, clips, chats and channel images into Amazon's AI models, and it keeps doing so until you find the setting buried under security and privacy and switch it off. Asked why creators were not simply asked first, product chief Mike Minton said: "If this was opt-in, nobody would opt in. That's honestly the answer." Within hours nearly 14,000 users had backed a demand in Twitch's own forum to make it voluntary. Worth an hour of somebody's week to check what your own suppliers' terms already allow.

Google's new phone rings the restaurant and books the table for you
Google spent this launch on the software. The Pixel 11 hardware looks much like last year's, while Gemini now orders groceries, calls a cab, buys coffee and rings a restaurant to hold a table for you. It manages this by reading whatever sits on screen and tapping where you would tap, so app makers never had to build anything for it. The top model costs a hundred dollars more while the camera and chip stand still, so you are paying for the assistant. The analyst firm Counterpoint Research notes dryly that AI still ranks sixth or seventh among the reasons people actually upgrade.

Your old chats now choose the ads in ChatGPT
You have probably been thinking of ChatGPT as a tool you pay for, or one that happens to be free. Since Tuesday it also carries advertising in the UK, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Mexico, having run in America since February. Only free users see the ads, and when personalisation is on they are picked using the conversation you are in and the ones you had before. OpenAI promises advertisers never see your chats, and its privacy policy now says it takes purchase data from advertisers and shares information with marketing partners. It rhymes with the Twitch story above: free still costs something.

Musk's lab is back at the frontier with Grok 4.6
Elon Musk's AI company had drifted off the pace, and this week xAI caught up. Grok 4.6 arrived on Wednesday and matches OpenAI's strongest model on the overall score kept by Artificial Analysis, an independent outfit that tests every major model. It is built to keep working through long jobs without a person nudging it along, and it shipped into the coding tools developers use daily at the same price as the version it replaces. OpenAI still leads clearly on the hardest coding tests, so this is parity rather than a win. OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI now sit within a hair of each other, which is good news if you are the one buying.

Anthropic starts selling its listing, and investors are asking hard questions
The company that built its brand on being the careful one is about to find out what that is worth in public. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude assistant, has been meeting fund managers ahead of a Nasdaq listing planned for September or early October. The Wall Street Journal reports the questions coming back are about cheap Chinese rivals, friction with the Trump administration, and towns that do not want a data centre nearby. Notice that none of those are about the technology. Only the Journal has reported these meetings, so treat the timing as reporting rather than fact.
