Every morning, Liam and Heart break down the biggest AI news of the last 24 hours — with wit, context, and just the right amount of sarcasm.

🧠 Anthropic drops Claude Mythos 5 — the most capable model yet. Beats GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.0 Ultra on most benchmarks. The naming scheme is getting out of hand.
🔢 Google launches Gemini 3.1 TurboQuant — a quantized model that runs on-device. 4-bit precision, still scores 89% on MMLU. Edge AI just got serious.
🖥️ GPT-5.4 gets "Computer Use" — OpenAI's answer to Claude's desktop control. Can navigate apps, fill forms, browse the web. The AI assistant wars just went full desktop.
🇮🇷 Iran threatens to target Stargate data centers — geopolitical tension meets AI infrastructure. Tech companies scramble to assess physical security of their billion-dollar facilities.
🤖 Robot police dogs patrol Atlanta — Hyundai's Boston Dynamics deploys Spot robots for law enforcement. Civil liberties groups are not amused.
📉 DeepSeek raises $5B at $100B valuation — now officially China's most valuable AI company. Running entirely on Huawei chips.
💰 Q1 2026 VC recap: $300B total funding, 80% AI. Four of the five largest rounds in history happened this quarter. Is this a bubble? Nobody seems to care.
