Top stories

  • Anthropic abruptly cuts off Windsurf’s first-party Claude 3.x access. Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan revealed Anthropic, with less than five days’ notice, revoked nearly all of Windsurf’s first-party capacity to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, 3.7 Sonnet and 3.7 Sonnet Thinking — shortly after reports that OpenAI was acquiring Windsurf for ~$3B. Anthropic co-founder Jared Kaplan later said ‘it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.’ Windsurf scrambled for third-party inference and pushed users toward Gemini 2.5 Pro. via TechCrunch
  • ElevenLabs launches Conversational AI 2.0. SOTA turn-taking model (handles pauses, interruptions, hesitations), built-in automatic language detection, native multimodality (voice + text), RAG integrated into the agent architecture, HIPAA compliance and optional EU data residency. via VentureBeat
  • Snowflake Summit 2025 keynote — Snowflake Intelligence + Cortex AISQL. Conversational data-agent layer at ai.snowflake.com powered by Anthropic/OpenAI LLMs and Cortex Agents. Semantic Views (public preview), Openflow multimodal data ingestion (built on Apache NiFi), SnowConvert AI for automated legacy-warehouse migration. Sam Altman keynoted the conference. via Snowflake
  • Trump 25% iPhone tariff threat overhang continues. Apple shares under pressure after Trump’s May 23 threat. Administration officials signal implementation ‘by the end of June.’ Wedbush estimates a US-built iPhone at ~$3,500 vs ~$1,000 for the iPhone 16 Pro — a key infra/policy overhang for AI-adjacent device makers.

Who shipped

ElevenLabs shipped a major product. Snowflake shipped a stack of summit announcements. Anthropic shipped an access cutoff that hardened the OpenAI/Anthropic competitive frame.
