Authored by Jason Nelson via decrypt.io,
In brief
DeepMind veteran David Silver raised $1.1 billion for his new startup Ineffable Intelligence at a $5.1 billion valuation.

Pentagon Finalizes Deal With Top AI Firms For National Security Work
The Department of War has finalized agreements with OpenAI, Google, SpaceX/xAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and Reflection AI to deploy AI tools in "classified settings."
