01OPENAnthropic gives US teachers Claude for free—and turns lesson planning into AI's next battleground
Claude for Teachers can draft lessons, adapt worksheets and review class data while educators head home. The free year is generous; the contest to become part of school life is much bigger.
02OPENGPT-5.6 is here, and it wants to do the whole job—not just answer questions
OpenAI is launching a model built to research, use tools and complete long assignments. It could save hours, but tracing a mistake across all those steps will be harder.
03OPENAI giants are asking Washington to regulate them. They also stand to gain from it
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind increasingly agree on federal rules. The decisive question is who writes them, how costly they are and which competitors can comply.
04OPENCurrent AI wants a public ChatGPT—and its first demo already works
Alpha Chat already works without an account, shows what it uses to answer and deletes conversations after 30 days. It is only version 0.1, but the coalition behind it has more than $400 million pledged and wants to turn open AI into a public service.
