AXIOS (Donica Phifer) - OpenAI delaying IPO amid AI safety concerns, Sam Altman says
OpenAI will not go public this year given all the safety work it needs to do, CEO Sam Altman said in a Fortune interview released Saturday. Why it matters: Altman's comments come as fears over doomsday AI scenarios have ramped up since an Anthropic employee resigned and issued a dire warning about AI's capabilities. What they're saying: "Right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public," Altman said . - "I would say not 2026, yeah. We got a lot of stuff to do." The intrigue: The market expected blockbuster IPOs from both OpenAI and Anthropic this year. - Altman's move puts the ball squarely in Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's court — especially given Amodei's warning Saturday that AI development needs to be slowed.

NYTIMES (Erin Griffith) - Which Investors Will Get Rich From Anthropic’s IPO?
When Anthropic goes public in a blockbuster offering, which investors will profit? The answer says a lot about how much start-up investing has changed over the years.
AXIOS (Ina Fried) - OpenAI, Anthropic aim to balance safety, progress as IPOs near
OpenAI and Anthropic are trying to strike a delicate balance: convincing Wall Street that their businesses are sound and fast-growing, while at the same time assuring governments and the world that their models don't pose unacceptable risks . Why it matters: Both companies are aiming for potentially record-breaking initial public offerings soon. Driving the news: OpenAI on Tuesday said it will soon release its Astra model broadly, but said the model has reached a "critical" cybersecurity threshold and that its most powerful capabilities in that area will be initially limited to trusted testers. - Anthropic, meanwhile, debuted updated versions of its latest Fable and Mythos releases designed to address key criticisms of the initial…
AXIOS (Adriel Bettelheim) - AI giants lean into health care to stall public backlash
AI has an image problem . And one way to fix it is for top companies to dive headlong into health care. Why it matters: Saving the world with AI-designed cures is better than being blamed for ruining the environment or driving up Americans' utility bills. - But even the most advanced AI models can't produce miracle treatments at the moment — and could create serious security risks if they try. - That could set up a fraught debate over the next two or three years about the allocation of resources and whether the benefits of throwing vast amounts of computing capacity into medical research outweigh the costs. Driving the news: The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Anthropic was trying to shore up investor confidence ahead…

A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people.

A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people. Hangzhou-based Unitree posted video to X showing a bipedal machine it calls "Superman" sprinting along a track at what the company says was 12.66 metres per second. If accurate, that figure edges past the 12.42 m/s mark Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championship, a record no human has touched since. The robot also jumped roughly two metres straight up from a standing position, clearing the 1.7-metre standing vertical record held by American Christopher Spell since 2021. Unitree packaged the demonstration as a…Open
