Summary: Anthropic are having an absolute nightmare of a week. Caught between Chinese distillation attacks at the start, and a Pentagon ultimatum threatening to blacklist them as a "supply chain risk" by Friday, they've quietly walked back their flagship responsible scaling policy, the very thing that set them apart as the supposed good guys of AI. Convenient timing, given the policy dropped the same day Pete Hegseth delivered his ultimatum. Make of that what you will.

On the more practical side, Claude Code is steadily rebuilding everything people loved about Open Claude, piece by piece, remote sessions, and now scheduled recurring tasks, so your AI can crack on while you sleep. Google's Anti-Gravity also deserves a mention: it's free, it runs Claude Sonnet, Opus, Gemini and GPT all in one place, and if you're already paying for Google Workspace, you've probably had access to half of this without knowing it. Classic Google.
