The secret’s out 🤫
Plus, OpenAI raises a monster $122B run
Welcome back! I'm heading to HumanX in San Francisco next week. I'll be joining the Living Room Series and would love to connect with you all in person.
If you're going to be at the conference, give me a shout. And if you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, there’s still time left!


Anthropic Accidentally Leaks 500K Lines of its own Source Code

Via CNBC
Anthropic just shipped its own source code to the public. A debugging file was accidentally bundled into a routine Claude Code update and pushed to a public registry, exposing the full architecture of the AI coding tool—nearly 2,000 files and 500,000 lines of code.
What happened:
The file pointed to a zip archive on Anthropic's cloud storage containing the complete codebase.
Within hours, it was mirrored and dissected across GitHub, amassing thousands of stars.
An Anthropic spokesperson told Axios the leak was "a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach," and that no customer data or credentials were exposed.
What was exposed: The leaked code contained unreleased feature flags for capabilities that appear fully built but haven't shipped yet, including Claude’s ability to review past sessions and transfer learnings across conversations, a "persistent assistant" that keeps working when users are idle, and remote control capabilities.
Why it matters: This is the second time in just over a year that Claude Code source material has leaked. For a company that markets itself as the safety-first AI lab, accidentally publishing its own codebase isn't exactly confidence-inspiring. The leak won't sink Anthropic, but it hands every competitor a detailed roadmap of how Anthropic is building.
OpenAI Raises $122B at an $852B Valuation
OpenAI just closed the largest funding round in tech history: $122 billion in committed capital at a post-money valuation of $852 billion.
By the numbers:
ChatGPT now has over 900 million weekly active users and 50 million paid subscribers.
OpenAI is generating $2 billion in revenue per month—up from $1 billion per quarter at the end of 2024.
The company's APIs process more than 15 billion tokens per minute.
Enterprise now makes up more than 40% of revenue.
Who's in: The round was anchored by the usual suspects—Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, a16z, D.E. Shaw Ventures, to name a few. For the first time, OpenAI extended participation to individual investors through bank channels, raising over $3 billion.
The bigger picture: As OpenAI gears up for an IPO, it’s positioning itself as core infrastructure for AI. CEO Sam Altman wrote that the company is building toward a unified "AI superapp" combining ChatGPT, Codex, browsing, and agentic capabilities into one agent-first experience—and drawing in billions of dollars to do that.
Cognichip Raises $60M to Use AI to Design Chips
The most advanced chips have accelerated AI development. Now Cognichip wants AI to return the favor. The startup just raised $60 million to build deep learning models that work alongside engineers to design new computer chips.
The problem it's solving: Chip design is enormously complex—advanced chips take three to five years from conception to mass production. Cognichip says its technology can cut the timeline by more than half and reduce costs by over 75%.
Chip competition: Unlike coding assistants trained on open-source code, chip designers guard their IP closely. Cognichip has built its own datasets, including synthetic data and licensed proprietary data, and developed procedures for chipmakers to train models on their own designs without exposing them. The company is competing against incumbents like Synopsys and Cadence, as well as well-funded startups like ChipAgents and Ricursive.
The bigger picture: It's a perfect loop: chips power AI, and now AI is designing chips that will power more AI. One investor called the current flood of capital into AI infrastructure the largest he's seen in 40 years. If it's a super cycle for semiconductors, it's a super cycle for companies like Cognichip.

Unknown number calling? It’s not random
The BBC caught scam call center workers on hidden cameras as they laughed at the people they were tricking. One worker bragged about making $250k from victims.
The disturbing truth? Scammers don’t pick phone numbers at random. They buy your data from brokers.
Once your data is out there, it’s not just calls. It’s phishing, impersonation, and identity theft. That’s why I recommend Incogni: They delete your info from the web, monitor and follow up automatically, and continue to erase data as new risks appear.
