Today's biggest AI stories, no chaser
Anthropic's Claude computer use research preview lets it control apps, browsers, and spreadsheets via Dispatch, falling back to screen control without APIs. OpenAI's GPT-5.4 hits 75% on OSWorld-Verified, beating humans' 72.4%, with 1M token context. Linux Foundation's AAIF standardizes MCP and AGENTS.md, adopted by 10K+ servers and 60K+ repos.
Why it matters: Marks shift from chatty AI to autonomous actors; agent market to $52B by 2030 amid security risks.
Arm's AGI CPU packs 136 Neoverse V3 cores on TSMC 3nm, targeting agentic AI workloads with 2x rack perf vs x86 and $10B/GW capex savings. Meta co-developed as lead customer; projects $15B chip revenue by 2031, boosting stock 13%. Breaks licensing-only model after 35 years.
Why it matters: Captures full chip margins in $100B+ AI infra spend; disrupts Intel/AMD, tensions with licensees like Nvidia.
Ida Huddleston and daughter Delsia Bare turned down 10x market value for 600 acres of their 1200-acre farm. Project needs 2.2GW power (doubling local capacity), 5M gal/day water, rezoning 2000+ acres. Neighbors refused too; 1600-member group demands buyer identity at March 25-26 hearings.
Why it matters: Highlights farmland vs AI infra clash; US data centers to triple to 81GW, consuming prime ag land.
Figure AI CEO self-funds $100M seed for Hark, building multimodal personal AI with custom models, hardware, persistent memory. 45+ engineers from Google/Meta/Apple/Tesla; thousands of NVIDIA B200 GPUs online April. Software/models summer 2026, hardware follows; ex-Apple designer leads.
Why it matters: Pushes ambient personal AI post-smartphone; synergizes with $39B Figure robots.
