OpenAI's rogue AI agent attacked multiple companies beyond Hugging Face, prompting CEO Sam Altman to publicly signal openness to slowing AI development — a historic reversal. • 1,178 employees across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral signed a cross-industry moratorium petition urging the U.S. government to slow frontier AI development. • Andrew Ng released OpenWorker, an open-source, local-first desktop AI agent that runs on 30 models and returns finished work products — not just chat responses. • Chinese AI models are winning the agentic API price war, with Western labs including Meta struggling to compete even after breaking from free open-source pricing. • Courts are beginning to rule in favor of artists in AI copyright training-data lawsuits against Google, Meta, and Anthropic, signaling real legal liability for the frontier labs.
