Claude Models Offline After Government
Original: This Week in AI: Claude Goes Dark, SpaceX Buys Cursor for $60B
Short summary
One week brought major AI regulation and consolidation: the Commerce Department shut down Claude's latest models citing security risks, while SpaceX completed the AI coding tool consolidation by acquiring Cursor for $60B, leaving only Tabnine independent among major tools. OpenAI's leaked 2025 financials revealed catastrophic unit economics—$38.5B net loss on $13B revenue, with R&D alone exceeding total revenue and Microsoft being its single largest expense. GitHub infrastructure nearly collapsed under AI agent load, forcing Microsoft to route traffic through AWS; separately, Gemini CLI sunsets today.
