AI Daily Brief — 2 June 2025

Quiet on the model side. Loud on enterprise data and lab-politics: Snowflake bought Crunchy Data to keep pace with Databricks on agentic Postgres, and Anthropic started revoking Windsurf’s Claude access just as OpenAI moved to buy Windsurf.

Quiet corners

No frontier model release from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta or xAI dated Jun 2. No DeepSeek/Qwen release. No NVIDIA/AMD silicon news. Major June stories (Claude Gov Jun 5, Mistral Code Jun 4, Reddit v. Anthropic Jun 4, Cursor $9.9B Jun 5) all sit on different days.

By the numbers

• ~$250M / ~100 — Snowflake-Crunchy Data deal / employees joining
• ~$1B — Databricks’ parallel Neon deal that prompted the response
• <5 days — Anthropic notice to Windsurf on Claude 3.x cutoff
• Most-mentioned company: Snowflake
