Anthropic donates $20M to pro-regulation
🚨 Our Report
Anthropic is putting $20M into the 2026 midterm elections by donating to Public First Action, a bipartisan group supporting candidates who back AI regulation. The move puts Anthropic in direct opposition to rivals like OpenAI, whose executives have backed groups opposing stricter AI rules.
🔓 Key Points
The organization was created to counter "Leading the Future," a PAC backed by OpenAI's Greg Brockman and Marc Andreessen that has raised $125M to oppose AI regulations.
Anthropic said "the companies building AI have a responsibility to help ensure the technology serves the public good," and doesn't want to sit on the sidelines while AI policies are developed.
The group has already launched six-figure ad buys for high-profile individuals, such as Marsha Blackburn (running for Tennessee governor), who have supported AI oversight measures.
🔐 Relevance
This is a rare case of a major AI company openly funding candidates who support regulation, creating a direct political clash with OpenAI and venture capital backers pushing for looser rules. With a growing sentiment for AI safety regulations, Anthropic is betting public opinion favors guardrails.

Case Study
How AI cut contract turnaround to one day
Spellbook drafts baseline contracts from saved templates and past specimens. Lawyers focus on negotiation, structure design, and client-specific customization.
Pattern: AI generates first drafts autonomously from existing documents. Attorneys review outputs and apply strategic judgment to sensitive provisions.
Why it matters: Attorneys redirect hours from repetitive drafting. That time goes toward high-value legal architecture and client relationships.
Metric: A complex financing term sheet was designed collaboratively, with full documents delivered the very next day.
Steal this: Pick one document you write repeatedly. Feed past versions into an AI tool, let it draft the baseline, then refine.

AI News Story
These developers haven't written code since December
Spotify revealed during its Q4 earnings chart that the company's best engineers have not written a single line of code since December, thanks to an internal AI system called Honk.
Co-CEO Gustav Söderström described a scenario where an engineer on their morning commute can instruct Claude to fix a bug from Slack, receive a different version of the app pushed back to them, and merge it to production before arriving at the office. The company shipped more than 50 features throughout 2025.
Söderström also pointed to the company's work building a unique music recommendation dataset that LLMs cannot commoditize, noting that questions about music preferences yield different answers based on geography and personal taste.
AI News Story
Google upgrades Gemini 3 Deep Think
Google has released a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think, its specialized reasoning mode built to tackle science, research, and engineering challenges, with access rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers and select researchers via the Gemini API.
The updated model is already being used by scientists to identify logical flaws in peer-reviewed papers and by university labs to optimize complex fabrication methods, such as crystal growth for semiconductor materials.
Deep Think also sets records on rigorous benchmarks, including 48.4% on Humanity's Last Exam, 84.6% on ARC-AGI-2, and promising scores on the International Math Olympiad 2025.
