Nick Cammarata's viral claim that large language models are far more interpretable than previously assumed is sending shockwaves through the AI safety community — and drawing immediate skepticism from researchers at Stanford and DeepMind. Today's briefing unpacks what the finding actually says, why the gap between a blog post and a peer-reviewed result matters enormously, and what it could mean for alignment research if the results hold.

On the infrastructure front, Microsoft has pulled out of a data centre partnership with Nscale in the UK, citing power grid delays stretching into the 2030s. This follows OpenAI's earlier exit from Stargate UK — a pattern that puts the UK government's flagship AI infrastructure strategy in a difficult position. Nscale is still pushing ahead with a $35 billion NYSE IPO despite the setback, though its filing reveals concentrated revenue risk tied to Microsoft and Anthropic contracts.

OpenAI is signalling a serious push into physical AI, with Sam Altman teasing a humanoid robot demo and 27 new robotics job postings focused on motion control and manufacturing. The competitive backdrop is China's fast-moving embodied AI sector.

In Washington, the Senate Commerce Committee advanced Ted Cruz's CHATBOT Act alongside the Stop AI Price Gouging Act and an AI Kill Switch Act — three bills, three distinct threat models, and the fastest legislative momentum on AI seen all year.

Finally, Anthropic has committed 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund, with governance details still to come.
