Summary: In today’s briefing, we analyze "The AI Splinternet and the Machine Economy." We deconstruct the new Exponential View data revealing a $110B AI economy that is officially straining the US electrical grid. We investigate the White House's unprecedented restriction of OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series (Sol, Terra, Luna) to 20 vetted partners. We break down the global silicon war, highlighted by China's domestic LongCat-2.0 model, South Korea's staggering $1 trillion investment plan, and Google cutting Meta's Gemini access due to data center capacity constraints. Finally, we explore Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5, Google's Nano Banana 2 Lite, and Meta's 61%-accurate non-invasive brain-scanning technology.

Important Topics:
The $110 Billion AI Economy: Exponential View research reveals the AI sector hit $110B in 2025, scaling 3x faster than the internet and driving up U.S. electricity generation for the first time in 16 years.
White House Gating GPT-5.6: OpenAI restricts the launch of its GPT-5.6 models to 20 vetted partners under government mandate, delaying broader public release.
Meta's Brain2Qwerty v2: Meta unveils an AI system that translates non-invasive MEG brain scans into typed text with 61% accuracy, a massive leap from the 8% accuracy of earlier models.
Anthropic Drops Claude Sonnet 5: Anthropic releases its smartest, most cost-effective agentic model to date, taking a solid benchmark lead over February's Sonnet 4.6.
Meituan Trains 1.6T Model on Chinese Chips: Bypassing US embargoes, China's Meituan launches LongCat-2.0, trained end-to-end on a 50,000-chip domestic cluster.
South Korea's $1 Trillion "Triple Axis" Plan: President Lee Jae-myung announces a 1,000 trillion won investment to build domestic chip hubs, data centers, and robotics over the next decade.
Google Rations Meta's Gemini Access: Alphabet restricts Meta's access to Gemini models due to severe capacity constraints, forcing Meta to rely more heavily on its internal Muse Spark architecture.
Apple Accelerates Security Patches: Apple pulls security fixes out of its annual iOS cycle, moving to rapid standalone updates because AI tools are drastically shortening the time hackers need to weaponize vulnerabilities.
Elon Musk Teases Grok 4.5: Musk claims xAI’s new Grok 4.5, currently in private beta and trained with supplemental data from Cursor, rivals Anthropic’s Claude Opus.
