Anthropic’s EFS Puts Misuse-Monitoring Data in Customer Clouds, Not Its Own

The planned controls seek to preserve the longer-term activity patterns needed for safety monitoring while giving enterprises custody of the underlying records and their review process.

OpenAI’s 10-Day WebMCP Challenge Pushes Websites to Expose Tools for AI Agents

The contest is an early test of whether sites will publish agent-facing actions instead of relying only on interfaces designed for human clicks. OpenAI has opened a 10-day WebMCP Challenge around an experimental web standard that lets a site define structured actions an AI agent can use directly. That is a different model from asking an agent to treat a page primarily as a visual workspace.

Cohere’s Parse 5 Turns Enterprise Documents Into Markdown for $1.50 per 1,000 Pages

China’s $226M Underwater Data Center Is Running. The Ocean Still Has to Prove It Can Scale

Commercial and planned projects are testing whether seawater and offshore power can ease land and freshwater constraints without shifting AI infrastructure’s environmental and operating burdens into the ocean. The ocean offers data-center builders a simple proposition: use seawater instead of scarce freshwater and let offshore conditions help cool AI hardware. The evidence so far is more complicated.
