Anthropic is doubling down on Google Cloud. Anthropic and Google have announced an expanded cloud partnership worth tens of billions of dollars, giving Anthropic access to up to 1 million TPUs for over 1 gigawatt of AI compute capacity. Those aren't quite OpenAI-scale numbers, but they’re big.

Big Tech is blowing up AI spending in 2026. Combined, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are forecasting about $650 billion in 2026 capital expenditures (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...). That’s an estimated 60% year-over-year increase, mainly driven by data center construction.

Would you use ChatGPT if it had ads? Well, they’re coming. OpenAI says it plans to test ads below ChatGPT replies for users of the ChatGPT free and Go tiers in the US (openai.com/index/our-ap...).

Would you use PayPal if it was a bank? Buy now, pay later firms and crypto companies are making moves to become banks, and PayPal wants to join the party. PayPal says it has filed applications with the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC to establish PayPal Bank.

Would you use a browser from OpenAI? The world’s biggest startup has launched ChatGPT Atlas, its web browser available now for macOS and “coming soon” for Windows, iOS, and Android. Atlas has an opt-in browser memories feature that lets ChatGPT remember key details from webpages you browse.

Is Anthropic a more responsible OpenAI? Anthropic plans to spend $50 billion on a US AI infrastructure buildout in partnership with Fluidstack. Anthropic says it is “constructing data centers in Texas and New York that will create thousands of American jobs.”

Netflix is buying Warner Bros., beating out Paramount and Comcast. Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming business in an $82.7 billion cash-and-stock deal. So, Netflix would kill HBO Max by buying Warner Bros. Discovery without the Discovery.

OpenAI wants 220M paying ChatGPT users by 2030. The world’s biggest startup is planning to use the same playbook that Slack and Zoom did when they were growing exponentially: hook most of your users with the free version, and then convince their employers to sign up for enterprise subscriptions.

Would you trust Apple with your home security? Apple wants to release at least three new types of devices, including a home security camera for the end of 2026, a home hub display with a 7-inch screen for $350 that has been delayed to spring 2026, and a tabletop robot with a 9-inch screen for 2027.

Would you buy a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen? Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a slimmer MacBook Pro with an M6 chip and an OLED touch display in late 2026 or early 2027. This is the second time we're hearing about this OLED MacBook Pro with a touchscreen.
