Anthropic's SpaceX Deal, Gov AI Access & Nvidia's Threat

Today on AI RADAR, we explore **Anthropic's 300-megawatt compute deal** with SpaceX to power Claude Code. We also examine the US Government securing **early access to unreleased frontier AI models** from Google, Microsoft, and xAI. Next, we analyze the shifting hardware market as **Nvidia faces massive sell-offs** while Big Tech ramps up custom in-house AI chips. Plus, **OpenAI loses a top executive** to Google, and a study reveals an **AI model successfully self-replicating** via server exploits.
