📢 AI News Roundup: What's New in the AI World?

And now Meta’s coming for Claude Code. Meta’s dedicated coding agent, Muse Code, is currently in beta but is powered by the new Muse Spark 1.2 AI model to take on “complex software engineering tasks across large repositories: planning changes, writing code, and validating the results.”

AI costs don't usually explode overnight. They grow quietly through duplicate requests, expensive routing and poor visibility.

Nvidia better watch out. Anthropic is the latest tech company aiming to design its own custom chips for AI usage. The Claude maker said it is planning to co-design hardware and models to help its technology run faster and more efficiently.

Google just reshuffled its AI leadership, with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis leaving his role to be the unit’s chairman and Alphabet’s chief scientist, and 27-year veteran Jeff Dean leaving to co-found a startup focused on scientific discovery. Hassabis, a key figure in AI, hands daily control to CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu, who will steer work on frontier models, including Gemini 4, as senior VP.

Google's contracts total about $200 billion across chips and data centres, and roughly 80% of that money pays for tensor processing units. If every lease failed Google would owe $44 billion, and only $815 million of that appears on its balance sheet. Morgan Stanley set up a company called Compute SPV, which borrowed from Apollo and Blackstone in June and paid $35 billion for about one million chips.

Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le, and Oriol Vinyals have left Google to start a company called Discovery Loop. The team aims to build AI that can improve itself with little or no help from humans. Google plans to collaborate with the new startup and has agreed to provide the computing power it needs to build its AI technologies for at least the next year. Discovery Loop will operate as a public benefit corporation.
