General Compute Secures Inference Funding
General Compute secured $15 million to deploy SambaNova's SN50 inference chips, promising 600-700 tokens per second. This shifts compute economics for AI service providers, offering high-throughput, lower-power alternatives to GPUs and impacting data centre infrastructure decisions.
Google Opens Chrome Enterprise APIs
Google's new open-source MCP server connects AI agents directly to Chrome Enterprise APIs, automating browser security management. This reduces manual effort for IT and security teams, streamlining tasks like DLP rule creation and security posture reviews, though human oversight remains critical.
Illinois Mandates AI Safety Audits
Illinois' new SB 315 mandates independent third-party safety audits for frontier AI labs, shifting accountability from self-reporting to verified compliance. This creates a new constraint for AI developers, requiring external validation of their safety standards.
OpenAI Reverses AI Liability Stance
OpenAI reversed its stance on an Illinois bill, now opposing a liability shield for frontier AI developers for catastrophic harms. This shift means direct civil liability applies, increasing risk for model deployment and requiring procurement teams to scrutinise audit reports.
Fujitsu Partners OpenAI, Anthropic
Fujitsu partnered with Anthropic and OpenAI, integrating their frontier AI models into its service portfolio for Japanese enterprises. Fujitsu will combine these technologies with its expertise to accelerate AI transformation and enhance critical infrastructure safety.
Meta Launches Global Subscription Plans
Meta's global launch of consumer subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, alongside new AI-focused tiers, diversifies its revenue beyond advertising. This introduces direct monetisation for power users and new segments, impacting product development and procurement budgets for enhanced AI capabilities.
