🚫 Anthropic cofounder says no Claude AI sales to OpenAI
LINK
|
- Anthropic cut Windsurf’s direct access to Claude AI models largely because OpenAI, its largest competitor, is reportedly acquiring the AI coding assistant.
- Cofounder Jared Kaplan explicitly stated it would be odd for Anthropic to be selling Claude directly to OpenAI, reinforcing their stance against such sales.
- Anthropic is also computing-constrained, preferring to reserve its capacity for what Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan called "lasting partnerships" rather than for OpenAI.

🌊 Scientists develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours
LINK
|
- Japanese researchers created a new plastic material that dissolves in seawater within hours, leaving no harmful residues or microplastic particles to pollute the oceans.
- This plastic breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt, which naturally occurring bacteria then process, as shown in a Tokyo lab demonstration.
- The non-toxic, fire-resistant material needs a coating to work like regular plastic, and the team is now developing this method for future commercialization.
