Did OpenAI use rival Claude's coding tools to train GPT 5? Anthropic says it is possible
The idea was to see how Claude behaves, compare the results with OpenAI's own models, and make adjustments before rolling out their next generation of systems.Meanwhile, Anthropic was very clear on its commercial terms from day 1, you can't use its models to 'build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models or resell the Service.'According to Anthropic, that's exactly what OpenAI was doing. Nulty clarified, however, that Anthropic won't cut OpenAI off completely. 'We will continue to ensure OpenAI has API access for the purposes of benchmarking and safety evaluations as is standard practice across the industry,' he said.OpenAI isn't thrilled about the block, but they seem keen to keep things civil. Chief Communications Officer Hannah Wong issued a statement to Wired saying, 'It's industry standard to evaluate other AI systems to benchmark progress and improve safety. While we respect Anthropic's decision to cut off our API access, it's disappointing considering our API remains available to them.'Interestingly, this is not the first time Anthropic has shown a rival the door. Earlier this year, the company reportedly blocked Windsurf, a codingfocused AI startup, from accessing Claude after rumours spread that OpenAI was moving to acquire it.Back then, Anthropic's Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan summed up the situation with: 'I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.'This latest episode shows just how competitive the AI race has become. With GPT 5 looming on the horizon, every model, and every line of code, counts.- Ends

Bryan Johnson shares 'secret' to achieve long life. Do THIS activity to reduce the risk of death by 42%
Bryan Johnson, the 47-year-old tech entrepreneur who has spent millions on his quest to reverse his biological age, has shared research-backed advice for a longer life. Taking to Instagram, Johnson explained how those with 'high levels of social engagement' were not only happier but also biologically younger. Compared to the least social group, these individuals had: 42% lower risk of death over four years 15% slower biological aging 16% higher physical activity levels In short, Johnson claimed that staying socially connected didn't just boost mood — it helped bodies function as if they were years younger. So, for the sake of your health (and your mitochondria), say yes to that coffee date or community event… just make sure it's before bedtime. Johnson shared the post with the caption, 'Say yes to friends, it will extend your life' — which has now garnered thousands of likes and comments. Here are some of the reactions: A user wrote: Will you be my friend, Bryan? Another wrote: The most difficult method of being healthy. A third user said: I like one friend at a time. Socializing drains me. I like the feeling of peace. A fourth user said: Stay single so the wife doesn't socially isolate you and shorten your lifespan. The multimillionaire recently announced plans to shut down his highly publicised anti-aging regimen, Project Blueprint. Johnson has reportedly cited philosophical conflicts and burnout as the reason for closing his anti-aging wellness startup. 'Honestly, I am so close to either shutting it down or selling it,' Bryan Johnson told Wired. 'I don't need the money, and it's a pain-in-the-a** company.' Earlier this year, reports suggested that Blueprint was falling short of its break-even point by $1 million each month. However, Johnson dismissed claims of financial strain, stating, 'We are break-even, and I've said that publicly many times. We've had profitable months, we've had loss months,' he added.

Indian-origin man offers over ₹3302152 crore to Google just to buy…
Perplexity AI, led by Indian-origin CEO Aravind Srinivas, has made an unsolicited $34.5 billion (over ₹3,02,152 crore) all-cash bid to acquire Google Chrome, according to a Reuters report. The offer is far above Perplexity's own valuation and marks the latest bold move from the three-year-old AI startup. Aravind Srinivas with Indian PM Narendra Modi.(Aravind Srinivas/Instagram) The company, which has raised around $1 billion from investors including Nvidia and SoftBank, was last valued at $14 billion. It claims multiple funds have offered to finance the deal in full, though no names were disclosed. Mobile finder: iPhone 17 Air expected to debut next month The bid comes amid regulatory pressure on Google, with the US Justice Department seeking remedies to address what a court ruled was an unlawful monopoly in online search. One proposed measure includes forcing Google to divest Chrome. Google has said it plans to appeal and has not indicated any intention to sell the browser. Analysts expect a legal process, if initiated, could take years and may reach the Supreme Court. Perplexity's proposal pledges to: -Keep Chrome's underlying Chromium code open-source -Invest $3 billion over two years in the browser -Retain Chrome's default search engine settings The company says its plan would 'preserve user choice' and reduce competition concerns. Rivals such as OpenAI, Yahoo, and Apollo Global Management have also shown interest in Chrome, while DuckDuckGo's CEO has estimated its potential forced-sale value at no less than $50 billion. Founded in 2022 by Aravind Srinivas along with Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho, and Andy Konwinski, Perplexity has grown rapidly with its conversational AI search engine, which delivers cited answers in real time. The company recently launched Comet, its own AI-powered browser, and says acquiring Chrome would allow it to access over three billion users worldwide — significantly boosting its ability to compete with OpenAI and others in the AI-driven search space. Srinivas, a Chennai-born IIT Madras graduate, previously worked at Google and interned under deep learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio before launching Perplexity in San Francisco. Under his leadership, the startup has expanded globally, including a partnership with Bharti Airtel in May 2025 that gave 360 million Indian users free access to Perplexity Pro. Despite the high-profile bid, industry experts remain sceptical that Google would part with Chrome, which plays a central role in its AI strategy, including the rollout of AI-generated search summaries under the 'Overviews' feature.

Elon Musk shares damning evidence that he is 'more trustworthy' than Sam Altman
Elon Musk has decided to stir things up again as he posted a screenshot of himself asking ChatGPT AI, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?' And ironically, the AI chose Elon. That little move kicked the already simmering feud between him and OpenAI's Sam Altman into the stratosphere. Elon Musk shares a screenshot of GPT asking who is more trustworthy, him or Sam Altman.(Reuters) ChatGPT chooses Elon Musk Elon Musk's rant against OpenAI continued as he shared a screengrab asking the AI to choose between him and Sam Altman. In a surprising turn of events, the AI bot chose Elon. Sharing the conversation, the tech mogul wrote, 'There you have it.' Elon Musk- Sam Atlman feud explained This is not just playful rivalry. The tension started way back, when Elon and Sam co-founded OpenAI in 2015. But by 2018, Elon left the board as he was not happy with OpenAI ditching its nonprofit roots for a for-profit path. He even tried (and failed) a nearly $97 billion takeover in 2025. Sam laughed it off, calling it a clever distraction tactic, and threw shade right back, hinting that Musk pushes his tech ventures from a place of insecurity, The Guardian reported. Also read: ChatGPT beats Grok in AI chess final, Gemini finishes third, Elon Musk said… The latest sparks flew when Elon accused Apple of playing favorites, pointing out that ChatGPT was dominating the App Store while his own Grok chatbot was being pushed aside. He threatened legal action, accusing Apple of antitrust violations. That set Sam off, who shot back accusing Elon of using X's algorithm in shady ways to promote himself and bury rivals. To prove it, Sam dared Musk to sign an affidavit swearing he's never tweaked X to benefit his own companies. Musk's response? A blunt: 'You liar,' pointing out that Altman's post got three million views, despite Elon having way more followers. Sam's charm offensive continued in the news: he downplayed Musk's relevance amid GPT-5 buzzing and OpenAI's broader mission of advancing safe, beneficial AI. Meanwhile, Elon retorted that his Grok model beats GPT-5 any day, and called Altman 'Scam Altman." FAQs Q: What did Elon Musk ask ChatGPT? A: He asked, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?'—and the AI picked Elon. Q: Why are Musk and Altman feuding? A: Disagreements over OpenAI's direction, Musk's departure, the failed takeover, and competing AI ventures fueled years of tension. Q: What did Musk accuse Apple of? A: Favoring ChatGPT in App Store rankings and sidelining his AI app, Grok, raising antitrust concerns.
