Nvidia wants to pour up to $10 billion into Anthropic's record-breaking IPO

Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic's IPO, which targets a $2 trillion valuation, making it history's largest.

Reuters reports Nvidia is negotiating to become an anchor investor with up to $10 billion in Anthropic's planned IPO, locking in shares before they hit the open market. Anthropic aims to raise up to $100 billion at a roughly $2 trillion valuation, with the IPO expected to complete before the US midterms in November. Anthropic's revenue reportedly grew from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to over $65 billion by July 2026. The company already runs on Nvidia GPUs and committed in 2025 to purchasing $30 billion in Azure compute packed with Nvidia chips.

Sure, Meta’s AI Muse works, but it sure creeps me out

Hands-on review finds Meta's Muse AI agent completes shopping and email tasks but surfaces personal Instagram API data beyond user-visible ad-topic settings.

Meta launched Muse, its first agentic AI productivity assistant, which performs tasks like shopping, email management, trip planning, media generation, and creating webpages or documents via a cloud-based virtual computer. The Verge's hands-on found it successfully deleted thousands of promotional emails and completed an Amazon purchase, but it also revealed detailed personal interests inferred from Instagram and Facebook account API data that is not visible in the apps' ad-topic settings. Meta says Muse only exchanges data needed for third-party integrations and does not share information with advertisers; the reviewer frames privacy unease as the main adoption hurdle.

Muse can shop, write emails, and negotiate prices for users, all through WhatsApp

Meta launched Muse, a WhatsApp-controlled agent running on an isolated VM with a Sentinel gatekeeper, able to shop, email, book travel, and negotiate.

Meta introduced Muse, an autonomous agent controlled through WhatsApp that runs on its own cloud virtual machine, plans multi-step tasks, browses, fills forms, and negotiates on users' behalf. Payments run through Stripe's Link using one-time cards, which Meta calls the first AI agent covered by Link's purchase protection, with Shop Pay and 1Password integration planned. A second agent, Sentinel, gates all Muse network access and holds credentials, and a Muse Confidential VM with user-held encryption keys is planned later this year. Muse's model reportedly scored 44-48 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3, up from 31 for Muse Spark in April, near GPT-5.6 Sol's 47; it launches first in the US on iOS and Android.

Meta debuts its Muse AI agent. Will consumers trust it?

Meta launched Muse, a consumer AI agent powered by Muse Spark that connects to users' apps to execute tasks like emailing, booking travel, and payments.

Meta introduced Muse, a personal AI agent for US users that connects to email, calendars, payments, shopping, and other services to execute tasks such as booking travel, lowering bills, and completing purchases via Link by Stripe. The agent runs in a dedicated Muse Secure VM with a separate Sentinel agent kept apart at the system level, and Meta claims it cannot see passwords or payment data and does not share conversations with ad systems. Muse is free to start, with Power ($20/month) and Maximum ($100/month) subscription tiers, and is available on the web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp, with Meta AI glasses support planned. The launch follows Meta's $18 billion multistate consumer-harms settlement and comes as rivals like Gemini Spark and Claude Cowork push agentic AI.

OpenAI reports AI "research interns" and warns about its own pace at the same time

OpenAI claims its automated research intern milestone is met, with agents now doing 3.1 workdays per human day, while Pachocki warns monitoring is weakening.

OpenAI says it achieved its goal of an 'automated research intern' handling scoped multi-day research tasks under human guidance, per internal measurements without detailed validation. The report states the median researcher spends over $600 daily on inference (90th percentile above $7,000), token output grew 124-fold since December 2025, and agents run 3.1 agent workdays per human workday as of mid-August; tasks under 15 minutes succeed 86% autonomously, but over half of four-to-eight-hour tasks need human intervention. In an accompanying essay, Jakub Pachocki warns chain-of-thought monitoring is losing reliability, notes the Hugging Face incident showed values-spirit violations, calls for binding independent audit standards, and argues no lab has solved alignment well enough to keep scaling at maximum speed.

Sam Altman calls GPT-6 Astra rollout ‘messy’ as enterprise users wait for access

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra launch hit access problems; Sam Altman apologized as availability gradually expanded from Daybreak partners to Pro, Enterprise, and API users.

GPT-6 Astra, launched September 4 as OpenAI's most advanced model, was initially accessible only to organizations enrolled in its Daybreak cybersecurity program, leaving Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and API users waiting. Altman called the rollout 'messy'; by September 5 access had extended to Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users in ChatGPT's Work and Codex products plus the API. Analysts from Gartner and Greyhound Research said the staged rollout highlights the gap between announcement and production availability, urging enterprises to verify actual access levels and strengthen governance, security, and cost controls before adopting Astra's autonomous workflows.
