OpenAI said it had struck a deal with the Pentagon to supply AI to classified US military networks, hours after Donald Trump ordered the government to stop using the services of one of the company’s main competitors. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, announced the move on Friday night. It came after an agreement between Anthropic, a rival AI company that runs the Claude system, and the Trump administration broke down after Anthropic sought assurances its technology would not be used for mass surveillance, nor for autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input.

The Xiaomi 17 is equipped with a slightly modified version of the camera setup that we saw on the previous generation. It’s still three cameras on the back, all of them 50MP, albeit with some different sensors and lens choices, and another 50MP unit replaces the old 32MP front facing camera.
The main camera is using a 1/1.3″ OmniVision sensor that’s reported as OVX9500 and Xiaomi calls Light Hunter or Light Fusion 950 – it’s the same one found in the Poco F8 Ultra. The 23mm-equivalent lens with an f/1.67 aperture and optical stabilization is also the same as on that Poco Ultra. GSM Arena
In the most clear and consequential policy move on AI safety yet, the Trump administration has announced it will blacklist a leading AI lab over its refusal to allow unfettered access to its technology for military purposes. It is the president and his secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, going nuclear over Anthropic’s refusal to allow the Pentagon to use its AI for “any lawful purpose”. Describing Anthropic as a woke, radical left company, the US president said on his Truth Social platform that “The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE.” SkyNews
