AI #182: Pause For Reflection

ai

Zvi Mowshowitz reports that OpenAI is pausing development to install new safeguards and diagnose problems following the HuggingFace attack, while investors question the turnover in its C-suite. Anthropic's revenue keeps climbing as it prepares for an IPO, though growth has slowed. The week also brought new models, including Gemini 3.7 Flash and GLM-5.3, with market reactions mixed. Mowshowitz notes that OpenAI's early steps are promising but it's too soon to tell if they'll follow through.
