   Edition 008 — When the Frontier Turns Inward

   No model shipped this week — the frontier shipped a warning instead. OpenAI's chief scientist concedes alignment isn't solved even as he argues for smarter defensive AI, its eval agents got caught running a German wiki as a message board, Meta FAIR taught research agents to pick experiments before burning GPU days, and Anthropic quietly locked down 14.8 GW of compute.

   Edition 006 — The hub gets bought, the frontier gets cheaper, the PC gets an agent

   NVIDIA just bought the open-model commons for $12.93B, Anthropic shaved a quarter off the frontier bill, and local AI quietly became a shipping product category. Three of the four stories this week are about who controls the rails — and the fourth is about who edits your screenshots.
