AI & Technology

The AI industry faced a two-pronged shock: a massive tech sell-off driven by US inflation and debt fears (CoreWeave credit risk hit record, pricing 60% odds of default) while regulatory scrutiny intensified — the FTC subpoenaed OpenAI and Anthropic, and eight US states sued OpenAI over child safety risks.

On the positive side, Anthropic's revenue surged 45% to $16.8B ahead of a planned IPO, and TSMC's profit beat expectations (up 68.7%) as AI chip demand continued. Amazon launched revamped Bee AI wearables, and multiple new models were released, including Mistral Timestral and FLUX.3 image generator.

Maxon released One 2027.0 with a new Scatter System for Cinema 4D and a UV Editor for ZBrush. Adobe rebuilt Photoshop and Premiere for Nvidia's RTX Spark platform.
