On August 27th, according to the New York Times, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently pointed the finger at competitor Anthropic. While Zuckerberg did not name the AI startup or its CEO Dario Amodi, he stated that leading AI labs are attempting to centralize power while painting a picture of a "doomed" future. In a 6,500-word article published this month, he wrote, "If these labs dominate, the balance of power will be more favorable to large institutions than individuals." However, while Zuckerberg publicly criticized Anthropic, his own company has been secretly helping its competitor grow stronger. According to five sources familiar with the matter, Meta has become a heavy user of Anthropics AI products and is even one of Anthropics largest customers. Two of the sources indicated that at some point this year, Meta internally projected annual spending on Anthropics AI models could reach as high as $10 billion. If this figure materializes, it would represent a significant portion of Anthropics annual revenue. Anthropic projected in July that its annual revenue would exceed $65 billion.On August 27, Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, co-chaired the 20th meeting of the China-Poland Joint Economic Committee with Baranovski, Deputy State Secretary of the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, in Beijing. Ling Ji stated that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Poland. In recent years, bilateral trade between the two countries has continued to grow, two-way investment has steadily progressed, and the potential for connectivity has been continuously released. China is willing to expand imports from Poland, promote a more balanced bilateral trade, and strengthen supply chain cooperation with Poland in areas such as new energy, intelligent manufacturing, and logistics warehousing. China hopes that Poland will provide a fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises operating in Poland. China is willing to properly resolve differences with the EU through dialogue and consultation, and promote the healthy and stable development of China-EU economic and trade relations.For most of the past year, Alphabet (GOOG.O) was one of the most sought-after large-cap tech stocks, with investors betting it would be the most likely winner in the artificial intelligence boom. On May 13, Alphabets stock rose 3.9%, hitting an all-time high. The previous year, the stock had surged over 150%, ranking among the top 25 performing stocks in the S&P 500 and far outperforming other members of the "Big Seven" tech giants. However, this momentum subsequently reversed, driven by concerns about talent drain at Googles parent company and anxieties about the companys waning dominance in AI. The stock fell 15% from its peak, wiping out $692 billion in market capitalization and becoming the second-largest drag on the S&P 500 during the same period. The core reason for this sell-off was that Alphabets position in the AI race suddenly became less secure. The companys massive investments in AI development infrastructure and the delayed release of its new Gemini AI model both dampened investor confidence.Market news: Regulators say the maintenance of U.S. attack submarines is costing billions of dollars.The U.S. military has guided 75 ships to change course.
