The post Zuckerberg Breaks 3-Year Silence On X (Twitter) With AI Announcement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mark Zuckerberg broke a three-year silence on X (Twitter) on Thursday to unveil Muse Spark 1.1 and the Meta Model API, the company’s first paid platform for outside developers. The launch pushes Meta against OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The model competes on cost, and Meta is betting a lower price will win developers and pressure rivals’ margins. Yet META stock barely moved, rising only 2% after the news. META Stock Performance. Source: TradingView What Muse Spark 1.1 Can Do Muse Spark 1.1 is what the industry calls an agentic model.

The post The Hot Gift This Coming Holiday Season: Value appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Hot Gift This Coming Holiday Season: Value getty Halfway through the year in which artificial intelligence is changing everything, evidence is mounting that consumers’ financial stress is about as bad as it was during the devastating 2008-2009 Great Recession. Shoppers are now savvier than ever about the price and value of nearly everything. In fact, so many forces are bearing down on retailers this coming holiday season that it’s hard to know where to begin the discussion. For example, AI is nipping at Walmart’s and Amazon’s heels in product discovery, merchandise comparison, and pricing. From the same smart phone consumers use to check if Walmart’s price for an item is more or less than Amazon’s, a shopper can type this prompt into a popular AI platform like Perplexity: “I want to buy a pair of wireless ear buds. Find the best price for value.” What comes back is a concise, all-text, orga

The post OpenAI Vs Anthropic IPO: How They Compare And What We Know appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Golden phone with IPO stocks purchase app on the screen on wooden table in office. OpenAI and Anthropic both filed initial public offering prospectuses in June. Getty OpenAI and Anthropic are both planning to go public. However, as the second half of 2026 begins, chances are increasing that both companies could delay their IPOs beyond the original fourth quarter 2026 target. In my view, the two companies are competing with each other to be the first one to have a successful IPO; yet both companies seem to be delaying and trying new tactics to strengthen their IPO. For example, OpenAI is reportedly offering to sell 5% of the company to the U.S. government. Meanwhile, the U.S. forced Anthropic to withdraw its latest Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to prevent foreign nationals—including Anthropic employees who were foreign nationals—from accessing its newest models, citing national

The AI firm Anthropic has developed a technique that has given it the clearest glimpse yet at what’s really going on inside large language models as they answer questions or carry out tasks. What they found ranges from the mundane to the unnerving. Researchers at the company built a tool called the Jacobian lens (or…

The post How does Grok 4.5 compare to Anthropic’s Claude after Musk’s comments? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SpaceXAI recently released a new version of its AI chatbot called Grok 4.5. This is a coding-focused model that Elon Musk pitched as an “Opus-class” rival to Anthropic’s Claude at a fraction of the cost.  Considering the rising cost of AI usage, engineering teams are now prioritizing price per completed task over peak intelligence.  Does Grok’s new model outperform Claude Opus 4.8? Elon Musk, in a post on X, described the newly launched Grok 4.5 as “an Opus-class model” that is faster and more cost-efficient. The model is designed for coding and other complex tasks.  Musk followed up after the launch with a second post, writing, “Looks like Grok 4.5 is #1 on at least a few benchmarks. Better than expected.” SpaceXAI (NASDAQ: SPCX) lists Grok 4.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than using Anthropic’s models,
