A company that makes the chips that power AI. Rather than a competitor in the chatbot race, it's the one selling picks and shovels to everyone in it. Its flagship products are GPUs and the AI infrastructure software built on top of them. In August 2026, it began officially supporting its cloud gaming service GeForce NOW on Linux, and around the same time, it published a method for isolating Kubernetes tenants on shared GPUs. In autonomous driving, it introduced a 34-billion-parameter reasoning model, and in robot policy learning, it presented a video-based learning approach. It also tried to expand the AI ecosystem for handling the physical world through its open world model 'Cosmos 3'.

Bilal Chughtai, who worked on AGI safety and alignment research at Google DeepMind, warned of AI risk in a resignation post published on X and LinkedIn on September 14. He wrote that AI has the potential to kill us all, called for coordination and transparency to end the race between companies, and the post was read 560,000 times within a day.
Parse 5, the document-parsing vision language model Cohere released on August 27, scores 79.2 on ParseBench, below GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8. The company published that table itself and led instead with throughput and cost: 2,160 pages a minute on eight H100s.
Four NVIDIA GB300 chips outperform eight H100s, but you can't just slot them into the old trays. A 12-minute lab tour shows, in physical hardware, why every new chip forces a full redesign of cooling, networking, and rack structure.
Reuters reports that Anthropic is discussing bringing in NVIDIA as an anchor investor for an IPO that could raise up to $100 billion. If it happens, it would be the largest IPO in history — and the same week, OpenAI delayed its own listing, citing safety.
OpenAI has taken GPT-Rosalind, its life sciences model, out of research preview and opened it through the API and Codex. In a public demo, narrated as running with biosafety restrictions lifted, the model drew up a plan a lab could pin to the bench as it stands.
Fugu Max routes each task to the leanest model that can solve it and undercuts rival output pricing by 40 to 60 percent. Fugu Ultra v2 posted its best scores with Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra kept out of its pool.
A new European AI lab has built one model per task. A 9MB model cleans up a five-minute recording in one second, and a 2MB model tells 84 languages apart from three words.
Pre-release access to Mythos 5.1 went only to US institutions. The UK government reads it as a protectionist signal, and the company has not said why.
Anthropic is cutting ties with ITI, the US tech industry lobbying group. It ended its membership after the group opposed three bills that would block advanced chips from reaching China.
CFO Sarah Friar disclosed performance figures for the in-house inference chip alongside a consumer-enterprise revenue flywheel
Dell has emerged as the biggest beneficiary of enterprises shifting AI workloads from the cloud to their own on-premises servers.
Anthropic walked away from talks to buy real-time video AI company Decart after due diligence. The deal would have paid one and a half times the valuation Decart raised at just four months earlier, right as Anthropic heads toward an IPO.
