Anthropic experienced a short‑term outage that affected its Claude AI models, including the Claude Code developer tool. Users encountered 500‑error responses and elevated error rates across the API. The company identified the cause quickly and implemented a fix within roughly twenty minutes, restoring normal service. The incident also touched Claude Opus 4.5 and followed earlier issues with Anthropic’s AI‑credits purchasing system. The outage was notable because Claude Code is widely used by developers, including teams at Microsoft. Leer más →

Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman revealed a new team dedicated to creating a "humanist superintelligence" that is deliberately limited in autonomy and designed to serve humanity. The initiative emphasizes keeping humans "at the top of the food chain" and rejects narratives of a race to artificial general intelligence. Suleyman outlined three primary applications: an AI companion for learning and productivity, support for the healthcare sector, and breakthroughs in clean‑energy science. The move follows a new agreement with OpenAI that lets Microsoft pursue AGI independently or with partners, while leveraging OpenAI’s intellectual property. Leer más →

Napster, the former music‑sharing service now owned by Infinite Reality, has launched Napster View, a hardware‑software suite that adds a holographic AI assistant to MacBooks with Apple Silicon.

Microsoft’s AI division announced its first homegrown AI models: MAI-Voice-1, a speech model that can generate a minute of audio in under one second on a single GPU, and MAI-1-preview, a text model trained on roughly 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. The new models already power features like Copilot Daily and are being tested in Copilot Labs and on the LMArena benchmarking platform. Microsoft says the models are designed for consumer‑focused experiences, offering fast, high‑quality audio generation and instruction‑following text responses, and will be rolled out in select Copilot scenarios.
