🦞 OpenAI acquires OpenClaw and hires its creator
OpenAI has absorbed the OpenClaw project and brought its creator, Peter Steinberg, into the company. He will lead development of the next generation of AI agents. Sam Altman called him a genius and said his ideas will soon shape OpenAI products.
OpenClaw itself will remain open source. OpenAI says it will continue to support and develop the project.
The repository has been one of the fastest-growing in GitHub history by stars. At its peak, it gained 34,000 stars in two days. In about 60 days, it went from roughly 9,000 to nearly 200,000 stars. For comparison, Kubernetes took about three years to reach 100,000.
Anthropic reportedly had an opportunity to move earlier but focused on trademark concerns around the original name ClawdBot.
This time, OpenAI moved first and secured the team behind the momentum.

Shanghai-based AGIBOT presented its robot A3 performing jump kicks, spinning strikes at different angles, and backflips. The company says the robot can consistently hit its target during demonstrations.

🍏 Apple to unveil $699 MacBook with A18 Pro in March
Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to announce a lower-cost MacBook at its March event. The device is expected to start at $699.
Instead of an M-series chip, it will use the A18 Pro from the iPhone 16 Pro. While positioned below Apple Silicon M chips, the A18 Pro is said to approach original M1-level performance. The display is rumored at 12.9 inches. Apple has also developed a cheaper and faster aluminum manufacturing process for the chassis.
Color testing reportedly includes light yellow, light green, blue, pink, silver, and dark gray. Current MacBook Air models start at $999.
A sub-$700 Mac would reset the entry point to the Mac lineup.

⬇️ The quiet creator of WinRAR
Eugene Roshal built WinRAR and largely stayed out of the spotlight.
RAR stands for Roshal Archive.
He avoided Silicon Valley, skipped media attention, and kept his personal life private.
WinRAR became one of the most installed software tools in the world. The 40-day trial became a running joke since it never truly locked users out.
Estimated net worth ranges between $100M and $250M.
While others chased headlines, he built a compression algorithm that powered millions of PCs.

🤖 Anthropic launches Claude Code Security and upgrades Desktop
Anthropic released Claude Code Security, an agent that scans full repositories and finds complex context-level vulnerabilities.
It uncovered 500+ issues in production open source projects, some decades old.
The agent reasons across the codebase instead of relying on fixed SAST rules.
Claude Code Desktop now runs Server Previews, fixes console errors, reviews before push, monitors PRs, and supports auto-merge.

OpenAI Launches Standalone ChatGPT Translate Tool
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a dedicated web-based translation service that works separately from the main ChatGPT interface. It supports text translation in 50+ languages and is currently available via its own website.
The interface looks similar to other online translators, with fields to enter source and translated text, and dropdown menus to choose languages. On mobile browsers it also supports voice input, though some features like image translation aren’t live yet.
The tool isolates translation capabilities that were previously part of the ChatGPT chatbot into a standalone web experience, making it easier for users who just need translation without the full chat interface.

🚀 SpaceX files confidential IPO aiming for up to $75B raise
SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO, with plans to raise up to $75B. The company was recently valued at $1.25T after merging with xAI, with reports pointing to a potential $1.75T target at listing.
The company runs reusable rocket launches and operates Starlink with around 10,000 satellites. It has also secured over $24.4B in U.S. government contracts since 2008 and completed 165 orbital flights in 2025.
If completed, the IPO would be the largest in U.S. history, far exceeding Alibaba’s $22B record. Timing remains tied to market conditions, with volatility still elevated.

⚠️ Oracle cuts up to 30,000 jobs in one day to fund AI push
Oracle laid off around 10,000 to 30,000 employees in a single day, about 18% of staff. Emails went out at 6am with no prior notice, marking the same day as the last working day. Some divisions saw cuts above 30%.
The company is shifting spending toward AI and cloud infrastructure. In 2025, rising costs created a major cash gap, pushing management to reallocate capital.
Analysts at TD Cowen estimate the layoffs could save $8–10B in free cash flow. Even if fully reinvested into AI infrastructure, payback is not expected before 2030.

🤖 Anthropic cuts Claude subscriptions from third-party tools like OpenClaw
Since April 4, Anthropic disabled using Claude subscriptions inside external services. OpenClaw still works with Claude accounts, but usage is now billed separately via API token pricing.
The change targets heavy usage cases like large contexts and agent workflows, which exceeded the fixed $20 subscription model.
Workarounds rely on changing how requests are labeled so they look like first-party usage. Tool names get rewritten to pass filters.
