Applied AIFTC Subpoenas OpenAI and Anthropic Over AI Safety Concerns
Regulators are moving from speeches to subpoenas—AI safety incidents are now a consumer protection issue with discovery, not just PR. If you ship AI to end users, assume your incident logs, red-team reports, and mitigation workflows are future evidence and tighten them accordingly.
Applied AIMeta releases Muse Spark Open, saying it is the most capable US open-weight model, with 816B total and 42B active parameters and a 1M-token context window
A 42B active-parameter, 1M-token open-weight model tuned for agentic use on Apple desktops compresses the gap between local and cloud assistants. If you're building agents, you now have a credible on-device or hybrid path—revisit your dependency on single-vendor hosted LLMs.
