In other AI news, Elon Musk is reportedly planning to take on his former ally OpenAI and is attempting to gather the necessary funds and resources. Musk is preoccupied with several other businesses, so there is reason to be sceptical of this venture. Anthropic, an AI research startup, plans to raise up to $5 billion in the next two years to compete with rival OpenAI and enter over a dozen major industries. The company intends to build a “frontier model” known as “Claude-Next,” which will be ten times more capable than today’s most powerful AI, but this will cost a billion dollars over the next 18 months.
