Anthropic Gets Banned Again While OpenAI Lost $38 Billion

from Good Revenue

Anthropic is in a full-blown standoff with the White House after the government banned foreign nationals from using Fable 5, the lab's most advanced model, with less than two hours notice. The ban followed a tip from Amazon's CEO, which is raising a lot of eyebrows given how intertwined these companies actually are. On top of that, OpenAI's audited financials just leaked, showing a $38 billion loss in 2025, and the AI price war is making a path to profitability look even harder.
