❗️Microsoft and META are aggressively cutting employee use of Claude ahead of Anthropic's IPO

Microsoft has cut internal claude spend by more than 33%, nuked per-employee token budget from $100k/month to $10k/month, and forced Copilot to auto-route to cheaper models

META used Claude code to build Muse, then cut active users from 60,000 to 30,000 (50% decline) after launch, and replaced it with Muse Code

Palantir and Nvidia are also scaling back claude over soaring prices and data privacy fears.

Parents are using AI to create school portraits of their children instead of paying for photographers.

Others are using it to remove watermarks from professional photos, risking fines up to $150,000.

❗️The White House is preparing to unveil OVER $1 BILLION in industry commitments for its AI-driven Genesis Mission, according to Axios.

The mission aims to harness advanced AI to accelerate American scientific breakthroughs. AMD, OpenAI and Anthropic are among the companies involved. President Trump is expected to attend Thursday's AI science summit as Washington pushes to accelerate scientific discoveries amid federal research funding cuts.

❗️AI hits biology’s data bottleneck

AI biology has reached a problem GPUs alone can’t solve: there simply isn’t enough training data.

A $1.8 billion effort backed by Biohub, the U.S. Department of Energy, NIH, Meta, Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs aims to build a “universal virtual cell” that could predict how cells respond to interventions and let researchers test biological experiments digitally before doing them in the lab.

Today’s datasets contain hundreds of millions of cells. Future models may need billions and eventually trillions. The goal is to compress work that normally takes decades into about five years, with the first dataset expected in roughly one year.

There’s also an unusual access model: commercial funders get one year of exclusive access to the data they help generate before it becomes public. Government-funded data has no such embargo.

❗️Hacker may have exposed himself by asking AI to write his résumé

A hacker suspected of targeting South Korean banks may have accidentally revealed his identity after asking Claude Code to write a résumé about his own hacking activities.

CrowdStrike traced the attacks to infrastructure running an AI hacking tool called ARTEX. Investigators later found publicly exposed folders containing the attacker’s saved Claude Code conversations.

In one chat, he asked Claude to create a cybersecurity résumé describing his ARTEX work and provided personal details including a phone number, Telegram handle, claimed age of 26, university and location in China. The same Telegram handle appeared in other hacking-related conversations.

He had also asked Claude where stolen Korean data is typically sold.

His identity has not been independently confirmed but asking an AI to turn your own cybercrime history into a résumé is certainly an unusual way to leave a trail.
