Zuckerberg is laying off 10% of Meta's workforce in May, the biggest cuts since 2022. But this round isn't about panic. It's about profit, and the implications are stranger and more uncomfortable than the last one.
Anthropic
On April 17, Anthropic officially launched Claude Design powered by Opus 4.7. Three days earlier, Figma co-founder Mike Krieger quietly resigned from Figma's board. The timing was not coincidental. Figma stock dropped 6-7.5% in a single session. Anthropic says it complements Canva and Figma. Nobody believed that line.
OpenAI
GPT-Rosalind is OpenAI's first domain-specific model, built for biology, drug discovery, and translational medicine. It's a meaningful step toward cutting the 10-to-15 year timeline for getting a new drug from lab to patient. Whether it actually delivers on that promise is another question.
AI
Perplexity Personal Computer for Mac dropped yesterday. The AI runs 24/7 on your Mac, controls your files and apps natively, and can be managed from an iPhone. This is not a chatbot with a new coat of paint. This is a fundamental shift in what AI does for you.
Anthropic
On April 16, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7 and confirmed it has crossed $30 billion in annual recurring revenue, surpassing OpenAI. The company that spent two years being called "the safety-focused alternative" is now the commercial leader of the AI industry.
