Anthropic has reportedly signed one of the biggest AI infrastructure deals ever, agreeing to pay xAI around $1,250,000,000.00 (i.e., $1.25 billion) per month for compute power until 2029.

What makes this deal interesting is that Anthropic is buying compute from a direct AI competitor.

The deal is worth about $15 billion per year, AI development has become so expensive

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs.

"The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks. So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."

Linus Torvalds says the Linux kernel security mailing list is now almost impossible to manage due to a large number of bug reports from AI tools.

In his latest update for Linux 7.1-rc4, he explained that the continued flood of AI reports has made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication as different people find the same issues using the same tools.
