🏆 AI’s Unexpected Join Forces to Standardize the Future

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block just pulled a “what if we didn’t fight?” and formed tech’s most surprising trio. They just donated their best tools to a new open-source effort led by the Linux Foundation. Here’s what each company contributed:

• Anthropic gave away MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI models to talk to tools, data, and other software

• Block (yup, Jack Dorsey’s company) open-sourced Goose. If you’re building agents, this is your starter pack

• OpenAI contributed AGENTS(.)md → a dead-simple file that lives inside your repo and tells AI coding tools how to behave

All of this now lives under the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) - an open effort to create a shared standard for how agents plug in, collaborate, and ship work.

Could AAIF flop like other “open AI consortiums”? Sure. But it has a track record, Kubernetes became the backbone of modern cloud infra under their watch.

You wonder why now? First, the AI coding segment alone saw $4B in spend this year, up from just $550M last year. So agents are big business now. But only if they work across stacks. And that’s where these open tools matter.

Some tools work only with Claude. Some only inside VS Code. Some live in your terminal. Some live in the cloud. It's messy. So, this is the final solution.

AI HIGHLIGHTS

🥽 An AI founder dropped a 50-minute tutorial on building landing pages with Gemi3 & it hit 11K bookmarks already. If you're building sites, you should also save it here.

🧹 Finally, there's a way to escape the AI "slop." We found this Slop Evader extension that only shows results from before ChatGPT launched. Try it for your Chrome here.

🧠 According to OpenAI’s co-founder, we need to stop asking "what do you think?" & use a different strategy to get higher-quality, unbiased outputs. Here's the strategy.

🏆 Time’s 2025 Person of the Year might not be a person. AI is currently the betting favorite at 40%, ahead of Jensen Huang and Sam Altman. We'll see & update for u!

📢 Plot twist: Google's VP of Ads just refuted the Gemini ads rumor & claimed "no current plans." The keyword is “current”, what about "future plans", what y'all think?

💰 Big AI Fundraising: Unconventional AI raised a whopping $475M. They're creating brain-inspired chips to make eco-friendly AI & caught big attention.

🧸 Sam Altman’s Late-Night Debut: GPT is His Parenting Sidekick

Last night on The Tonight Show, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made his late-night debut, not to explain AGI, but to share how ChatGPT is now part of his parenting toolkit.

Yep. The man building AGI is using it to ask, “Why is my baby laughing while throwing pizza on the floor?” 😁 Here’s what Altman revealed:

• He literally can’t imagine raising a newborn without ChatGPT

• He uses GPT for real-time parenting stress

• He feels kinda bad asking a “genius-level AI” dumb questions, like “what does baby poop color mean?” But… it works. And that’s the point

If you expect something even more, sad to say but there’s no mention of recent OpenAI tensions (like last week’s reported “code red” internally).

Instead, it was all vibes, dad jokes, but I see this as a clever, soft PR move to make ChatGPT feel relatable again.

Remember, OpenAI has been in the spotlight for existential risk debates, and model races with Google. This appearance made ChatGPT look human, again.

Fallon was obviously the distribution play. Devs don’t need to be convinced. But millions of everyday people who watch late-night TV? They just met ChatGPT in the least intimidating way possible. Nice PR move anw, isn’t it?
