Analyst Amit Daryanani expects demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure to maintain 2025 momentum as 2026 approaches.

A group of writers, including Theranos whistleblower and Bad Blood author John Carreyrou, are suing Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, xAI, and Perplexity for training models on pirated copies of their books.

Eligible writers could receive about $3,000 from the $1.5 billion Anthropic settlement,…
