Artificial intelligence is the center of gravity for KickhammerNews. This section tracks frontier model releases, the pricing and capability shifts that follow them, and the safety and policy questions they raise. We cover large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others; agentic and computer-use systems moving from demos into production; AI infrastructure spending and chip demand; and the regulation and litigation shaping how these systems are built and deployed. Our coverage aims to explain what changed, who it affects, and what the numbers actually show, rather than repeating press-release language. Start here for daily reporting on the AI industry and how it reaches businesses, developers and everyday users.
