Anthropic faces new scrutiny as the FTC seeks executive testimony in its consumer-harm investigation. Jaeden breaks down the news, the reported $63 billion financing plan for Broadcom chips destined for Anthropic, and OpenAI's claim that an internal model refuted the Exponential Time Hypothesis.

We also cover Verizon's $2 billion-plus AWS agreement, GPT-6.1 Terra, and Oracle's new Fusion Claw agentic applications. The math result is a claim under review—not a solution to P versus NP—and the FTC investigation is not a finding of wrongdoing.
