Latency measures the delay between an AI request and the resulting response. Interactive generative systems often track time to first token, which reflects how quickly output begins, and time to last token, which captures total completion time. Latency comes from model computation, queueing, network transfer, retrieval, tool calls, safety checks, and application logic. It varies with prompt length, output length, model size, hardware, batching, cache use, and current load. Optimizing only average latency can hide poor experiences, so teams also monitor percentile values and separate each stage of the request. The right target depends on whether the product is conversational, analytical, offline, or safety-critical.
Founders Fund has launched “MAFIA the GAME,” a recurring video series featuring Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, Moxie Marlinspike, and Bryan Johnson.
Goldman Sachs is projecting SpaceX’s AI revenues will grow roughly 100 times by 2030 – from $3.2 billion to $322 billion annually – figures the bank is using to anchor a $1.78 trillion IPO valuation for the company it is simultaneously leading to market.
Anthropic has called on the global AI industry to consider slowing or temporarily pausing frontier model development, warning that AI systems are already automating parts of their own creation and that full recursive self-improvement – where AI designs and trains its own successors without human involvement – could arrive within one to two years.
Microsoft has introduced seven proprietary AI models spanning reasoning, coding, image generation, transcription, and voice synthesis.
Meta has eased plans to track employee computer activity for AI training after internal criticism, introducing new controls that allow workers to pause data collection or request exemptions.
Anthropic has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, positioning itself for one of the most closely watched AI listings in history.
OpenAI has introduced role-specific plugins, collaborative websites, and annotation tools for Codex as the platform expands beyond software development. More than 5 million people now use Codex weekly, with non-developers becoming one of its fastest-growing user groups.
Investors and technology leaders increasingly view humanoid robots as the next major growth opportunity in artificial intelligence. Industry forecasts suggest the market could expand from a few billion dollars today to hundreds of billions within the next decade.
Anthropic says cybercriminals are increasingly using AI for advanced post-compromise operations and autonomous attack chains. The company argues that existing cybersecurity frameworks may no longer fully capture how AI-powered threats operate.
Anthropic is expanding Project Glasswing to approximately 200 organizations using Claude Mythos Preview to identify software vulnerabilities. The initiative aims to strengthen cybersecurity defenses as increasingly powerful AI models become widely available.
