Good morning! ☕ Let's dive into what's shaking up the AI world this Saturday...

🚨 Privacy Alert: GitHub's New Training Policy

GitHub will train on your private repos unless you opt out by April 24

GitHub just dropped a bombshell: they're updating their terms to train AI models on private repositories by default. Developers have until April 24th to opt out or risk having their proprietary code become training data. This is causing an uproar in the dev community, with 681 upvotes and 301 comments on HN already. Why it matters: Your private work could become part of someone else's AI model unless you actively say no.

🔍 Anthropic Leaks & Competition

Anthropic accidentally reveals "Claude Mythos" - a more capable AI model

A data leak exposed that Anthropic is testing a new model called "Claude Mythos" that represents a significant capability jump beyond current Claude models. The company confirmed they're testing it after the leak went public. Meanwhile, there's buzz about Anthropic considering an IPO as soon as October. Why it matters: The AI capabilities race is accelerating faster than anyone expected.

💻 Coding Agent Wars Heat Up

Free alternative to $200/month Claude Code emerges

As Claude Code dominates coding agents with its premium pricing, open-source alternatives are fighting back. "Goose" claims to deliver similar autonomous coding capabilities for free. Plus, Anthropic just launched "Cowork" - extending Claude Code's power to non-technical users. Why it matters: AI coding tools are becoming accessible to everyone, not just developers with deep pockets.

📱 Big Tech Moves

Apple will let you choose your AI chatbot for Siri

iOS 27 will reportedly allow users to pick which AI assistant powers Siri - meaning you could swap out Apple's AI for ChatGPT, Claude, or others. This follows Google making it easier to import another AI's memory into Gemini. Why it matters: The walled garden era is crumbling as tech giants embrace AI choice.

🎬 Video AI Drama

Why OpenAI killed Sora

OpenAI abruptly scrapped its video-generation app Sora this week. The Verge reports it's about competitive pressure and strategic pivots rather than technical issues. Why it matters: Even OpenAI can't win every AI battle - the market is moving too fast for anyone to dominate everything.
