Mistral Forge lets enterprises train custom AI models from scratch on their own data, challenging rivals that rely on fine-tuning and retrieval-based approaches.
Top AI experts from Google and OpenAI are backing Anthropic in its legal battle with the US government. Anthropic sued after the Pentagon labelled it a 'supply chain risk'. These scientists believe the government's action harms US AI competitiveness and stifles important public debate.
In response to Anthropic’s lawsuit, the government said it lawfully penalized the company for trying to limit how its Claude AI models could be used by the military.
OpenAI's new small models are faster and cheaper than GPT-5.4, and for most everyday use cases, that's exactly what developers and businesses actually need.
