  • Prices range from $2,000 to $20,000 per month.

  • SoftBank has committed $3 billion to OpenAI’s agent products.

  • No launch date or customer eligibility details yet.

  • OpenAI lost $5 billion last year and needs revenue growth.

Why It’s Important: If true, this pricing signals OpenAI’s shift toward premium AI services, catering to businesses willing to invest heavily in automation and advanced AI-driven tasks. It could reshape how AI is used in high-income industries.

ANTHROPIC

Anthropic’s AI Plan: Protection or Politics?

FutureLens: Anthropic submitted AI policy recommendations to the White House, focusing on national security, AI chip export controls, and expanding AI infrastructure. Some proposals align with Biden-era policies that were recently repealed.

Key Takeaways:

  • Anthropic wants stronger AI security rules, including model safety evaluations.

  • It calls for tighter restrictions on selling Nvidia’s AI chips to China.

  • The company recommends expanding U.S. AI infrastructure with 50GW of power by 2027.

  • Some proposals mirror Biden’s AI policies, which Trump recently repealed.

  • Critics argue Biden-era AI rules were too restrictive.

Why It’s Important: This push highlights the ongoing battle over AI regulation in the U.S. As AI grows more powerful, companies like Anthropic are urging stricter policies—but political shifts could shape how (or if) these rules are implemented.
