Palantir CEO: Enterprises are dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, which only pursue token maximization.
According to BlockBeats, on July 2nd, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," strongly criticized leading AI model companies, calling the way AI is sold "completely wrong." Karp emphasized that companies are already dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, believing they only pursue token maximization, wasting companies' time and money while handing over proprietary value and IP. Karp stated that companies are "angry" and will commit to owning their own AI production resources rather than relying on third parties. On June 29th, Palantir partnered with Nvidia to deploy Nvidia Nemotron open AI models in sovereign environments, primarily serving the US government and critical infrastructure customers. The collaborative system reportedly integrates Nvidia AI technology with Palantir's AIP, Foundry, Ontology, and Apollo platforms, helping organizations train, customize, and deploy AI locally while maintaining complete control over data, intellectual property, and models.
OpenAI and Anthropic have maintained a relatively restrained approach to visual technology, leaving room for competition; xAI has launched an upgraded video model, betting on the image generation track.
PANews reported on June 27th that, according to The Information, sources familiar with the matter revealed that xAI is increasing its investment in video and image generation tools, attempting to differentiate itself in multimodal capabilities. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic have relatively limited visual generation capabilities, leaving room for xAI to enter the market. It is understood that xAI launched an upgraded video model last week, emphasizing its continued progress in visual generation, while simultaneously introducing external collaborations in areas such as encoding to counter competitors. Sources indicate that xAI is strengthening the user buzz and dissemination effect of its AI video tools, viewing it as a crucial tool for the next stage of product competition. SpaceX has also publicly supported and mentioned the popularity of its AI video tools.

A former OpenAI researcher's claim that China has mastered all the code of US AI giants has been widely ridiculed within the industry.
According to Beating's monitoring, former OpenAI researcher Will Depue claimed that China now has complete control over all of OpenAI and Anthropic's GitHub codebases, Slack chat logs, and internal documents. He also boasted that he wouldn't be surprised to see "reasonably evasive" stolen architectures in China's open-source models. Lacking any concrete evidence, Depue argued that these judgments were primarily based on his conversations with security researchers, accusing outsiders of overestimating the defenses of cutting-edge labs. A blogger known for posting outrageous statements on social media, Depue also posted on April Fool's Day that he would be joining DeepSeek. This statement quickly became a laughing stock in the AI community. AI scholar Nathan Lambert criticized cutting-edge labs for frequently publishing self-serving nonsense, pointing out that the flow of technology is essentially achieved spontaneously through talent mobility in Silicon Valley, bar gatherings, and the lack of non-compete agreements; the real core advantage lies in computing power and engineering resources, not Slack chat logs. AI researcher Elie Bakouch used the exact same format to ironically remark that there is no doubt that all cutting-edge labs today have fully mastered the technical reports and models of DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and MiniMax, satirizing how American cutting-edge labs are simultaneously referencing China's open-source achievements for free every day while indulging in persecution fantasies.
News: Zhipu is evaluating its self-developed custom AI chip
According to a report by The Information, multiple sources revealed that Zhipu, a leading Chinese AI company, is considering designing its own AI chip. It is understood that with the rapidly increasing demand for its GLM series of large-scale models, coupled with increasing constraints on computing resources, Zhipu has recently made initial contact with some domestic chip design companies to explore the possibility of jointly developing a customized AI processor. The report points out that for large-scale AI model developers, developing their own chips aims to achieve hardware and software synergy optimization, improve computing efficiency, and reduce dependence on external GPU suppliers. Besides Zhipu, another domestic large-scale model company, DeepSeek, has also recently been reported to be simultaneously advancing its self-developed chip project focused on inference scenarios. Globally, top AI developers such as OpenAI (which has announced its self-developed chip Jalapeño) and Anthropic are actively developing customized chips, and the AI industry is accelerating towards a dual-track development stage of "model + chip" hardware and software integration.
Financial AI operates outside of regulation; the UK's FCA plans to expand its jurisdiction over AI giants such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
According to Beating's monitoring, Sheldon Mills, Executive Director of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), warned that regulators are facing an "arms race" to keep pace with the rapid adoption of AI in the financial services industry as businesses and individuals accelerate their adoption. Mills' report on the financial impact of AI indicates that 20% of UK adults are already willing to let large models make their savings or borrowing decisions. While this service offers an experience equivalent to regulated traditional financial advice, its lack of regulatory oversight means users are unable to obtain any financial compensation when they suffer losses. The report recommends an urgent review of the risks of unregulated financial AI and an application for expanded legislative authorization to strengthen oversight of core technology providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft through a "key third party" mechanism (the UK government has not yet finalized the specific list). It also recommends collaboration to launch free public financial literacy and decision-making guidance services assisted by AI.
