Microsoft pushes its own AI models over OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic

Microsoft is pushing its own AI models over those of rivals OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, instructing its sales team to promote its in-house AI solutions. This move is part of Microsoft's strategy to become a leader in AI.

The AI model price war is heating up, with Meta, SpaceX, and Moonshot releasing new AI models at lower prices. This development may impact US frontier labs, including Anthropic and OpenAI, which have invested heavily in AI research.

Google has introduced a new Gemini system to measure usage of its services, including search, Gmail, and Google Drive. This system provides a more accurate measurement of usage, taking into account device and activity types.

Qualcomm is focusing on AI and data center technologies, with its AI efforts centered around its Snapdragon AI platform. The company has partnered with major cloud providers and has over 50% upside potential.

India's smartphone sales have fallen 10% due to rising memory costs driven by AI demand. The cheapest phones are getting crushed, with shipments of models under $150 falling 45% year over year.

Palo Alto Networks' shares have risen 8.59% as investors back the company's AI security push. The company has reported strong demand for its AI security products and has partnered with high-profile clients.

The Mets have confirmed they are fully compliant with MLB's AI rules after a report of usage. The team had an AI program that helped pick pitches, but manager Kevin Green said they follow MLB's rules and will continue to do so.

SpaceX is in talks with the Pentagon over a multibillion-dollar AI computing deal. The contract would involve developing advanced AI computing systems for the military.

Mets Used AI Loophole with Dugout iPads Before MLB Crackdown

The Mets and other teams used a loophole with dugout iPads before MLB cracked down on the practice. The loophole allowed teams to access unauthorized programs and data. MLB banned the practice in a June 11 memo, but didn't enforce it until the second half of the season began. The iPads will still be permitted in dugouts, but with restrictions. The move may impact teams that use AI for in-game decision-making.

Mets Comply with MLB AI Rules

The Mets say they are fully compliant with MLB's AI rules after a report of usage. Former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino said the Mets had an AI program that helped pick pitches. Mets manager Kevin Green said the team follows MLB's rules and will continue to do so.
