AI snoops your email đź‘€

Plus: Meta locks in chip supply

Welcome back! Anthropic just dropped Claude Sonnet 4.6, and the big flex is how much better it is at using computers compared to previous versions of the model. It can navigate spreadsheets, fill out forms, juggle browser tabs—just like you do. The model scored 72.5% on the standard benchmark for AI computer use, up from 14.9% when the capability first launched in 2024.

If an AI can use your computer at near-human capability, how long before “computer skills” on a rĂ©sumĂ© just means knowing how to prompt one?

Oh, and speaking of Anthropic? Hard not to mention this moment from the India AI Impact Summit Thursday ft. OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei…refusing to hold hands during a group photo of political and tech leaders. Hey, stiff competition is stiff competition.

Meta Expands Nvidia Deal to Use Millions of AI Chips

Via Nvidia

Meta has struck a massive multiyear deal with Nvidia to deploy millions of chips across its AI data centers—GPUs, standalone CPUs, networking gear, and next-generation systems. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but analysts estimate the deal is worth tens of billions of dollars.

What Meta plans to use them for: Training and inference across its entire AI infrastructure—powering personalization and recommendation systems for billions of users, plus its Meta Superintelligence Labs efforts. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the partnership supports the company's push to deliver personal superintelligence globally. 

This isn't new, but it's much bigger: Meta has been buying Nvidia GPUs for over a decade. But this deal is a significant expansion, locking in supply across multiple chip generations at a time when Blackwell GPUs are back-ordered and Rubin production is just ramping up. Meta accounts for roughly 9% of Nvidia's revenue, and this commitment effectively reserves a dedicated slice of Nvidia's pipeline.

The bigger picture: Meta plans to spend up to $135 billion on AI in 2026. Hyperscalers collectively are on track to spend $650 billion this year. Despite months of investor hand-wringing about whether the AI spending spree is sustainable, this deal sends a clear signal: there is no slowdown in the buildout of compute.

Microsoft Copilot Bug Exposed Confidential Emails

Microsoft confirmed that a bug in its Copilot AI allowed the assistant to read and summarize customers' confidential emails for weeks, bypassing the data loss prevention policies companies had specifically set up to prevent this.

How it happened: 

  • Copilot Chat's “work tab” feature picked up emails in users' Sent and Drafts folders, including ones marked with confidential sensitivity labels—the kind organizations use to protect proprietary information, legal communications, financial data, and trade secrets. 

  • Microsoft traced the root cause to a code error that allowed items in those folders to be read by Copilot, even when policies explicitly blocked automated tools from accessing them.

  • Customers first reported the issue in January. Microsoft acknowledged the bug in February and began rolling out a fix.

What Microsoft hasn't said: How many customers were affected, how many confidential emails were exposed, or whether the AI stored or retained any of the content it accessed during the vulnerability window.

Why it matters: This comes days after the European Parliament blocked AI features on lawmakers' work devices over data security concerns. As enterprises deploy AI assistants, this is a stark reminder that these tools inherit (and can amplify) every permission flaw in the stack. 

Google Adds Music Generation to the Gemini App

Google is rolling out a music-generation feature in the Gemini app, powered by DeepMind's latest Lyria 3 model. It's in beta and available to all users 18+ globally.

How it works: Describe any song you want—something as crazy as “a comical R&B slow jam about a sock finding its match”—and Gemini creates a 30-second track with lyrics and AI-generated cover art. You can also upload a photo or video and ask Gemini to create a song that matches the mood. Users can customize genre, tempo, instruments, and vocals, or reference an artist's name for broad stylistic inspiration (though Gemini won't mimic their voice directly).

The bigger picture: AI music generation is no longer a niche tool buried in a standalone app—it's now embedded in one of the most widely used AI assistants on the planet. For the average person who's never touched a DAW or written a melody, this is the most accessible AI music tool yet.
