STORY: From Anthropic's blacklisting battle, to Alibaba's next-gen chip... This is AI Weekly. :: AI Weekly A U.S. judge said on Tuesday the Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic looked like punishment for its views on AI safety in the military. The AI lab has challenged the Pentagon’s unprecedented action in designating it a national security risk. And came after Anthropic’s refusal to allow the military to use its Claude AI software for U.S. surveillance or autonomous weapons. The lawsuit alleges that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth overstepped his authority when he made that designation. The judge said during a court hearing that the designation, which blocks the AI lab from certain military contracts, quote, "looks like an attempt to cripple Anthropic." Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that the automaker may be able to “tape out” its next-generation AI6 chips in December. That’s the stage of finalizing the chip design and sending it off to be manufactured. Musk said last year that Samsung would make the A16 chips… After the Korean company clinched a $16.5 billion production deal. The chips are likely to be used in Tesla’s self-driving cars and humanoid robots. OpenAI plans to nearly double its workforce by the end of the year. That’s according to the FT, citing two sources. It said the AI startup, whose latest funding round valued it at $840 billion, is looking to expand to 8,000 from its current 4,500… And deploy most of the new hires across, production development, engineering, research and sales. Reuters could not immediately verify the report and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. Arm Holdings announced a new AI data center chip on Tuesday which it said will add billions of dollars of revenue. The new chip, called the AGI CPU, will address data-crunching needed for agentic AI. It's a specific type of AI that can achieve complex tasks with minimal human oversight. Arm shares jumped 6.5% in the extended session after the compa...
A section of Hong Kong Island’s southwest coast at Aberdeen will be revamped into a new marina with 200 berths, a clubhouse and about 250 private flats by 2032 as part of government efforts to boost yacht tourism.

It also noted there was strong market interest in the project. To clear the 1.16-hectare seaside site near Po Chong Wan, the government...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Stock index futures were higher before the bell as the U.S. reportedly sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war in the Middle East. Here are the four stocks to watch on the day: Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) shares will be in focus after the stock slid on Tuesday to its lowest close since November, leaving it on the brink of entering a bear market. The Google parent fell more than 3% to around $290, marking its steepest single-day decline since June. The drop leaves the stock roughly 17% below its February peak near $350, putting it within striking distance of the 20% threshold typically used to define a bear market. Broadcom ( AVGO ) rose 0.94% in premarket trading after Hong Kong-based GF Securities raised its price target on the software and semiconductor giant. Analyst Alicia Xia cited expectations for higher shipments of Google’s tensor processing units, writing in a note to clients: “We now expect total TPU shipments to be 4.5m/7.9m units in 2026E/2027E, up from previous estimates of 4.5m/6m.” General Motors ( GM ) gained 2.91% in premarket trade after announcing it will invest a total of $600 million in its South Korean unit to upgrade manufacturing facilities and products. The total comprises two $300M commitments: one from December 2025 and a new one targeting press machine upgrades at plants in Bupyeong and Changwon. Meta Platforms ( META ) advanced 1.26% before the opening bell after the company disclosed it is granting stock options to its top executives for the first time since its 2012 IPO. The new options, outlined in company filings on Tuesday, will be released if Meta hits ambitious stock-price milestones over the coming years, as the company aims to retain and reward leadership amid heavy spending to stay competitive in the intensifying AI race.

NicoElNino/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Progress Software ( PRGS ) is due to report its Q1 numbers on the 30 th of March after the market closes, so I wanted to cover what to expect and what I’ll be looking out for in the upcoming report, which I don’t think is going to surprise us numbers-wise, but the conference call might be quite interesting. What to expect from Progress Software's Q1 earnings Analysts’ expectations for earnings are around $1.57 adjusted and $0.51 on a GAAP basis, on $246.4m in revenue. This revenue figure translates to around 2.5% decline sequentially and 3.5% growth y/y. Quite lackluster growth expectations from the analysts, but how well do they stack up to what the management guided for the upcoming quarter? In the last quarter, which was Q4 ’25, the management gave a revenue range of $244m-$250m, so $247m at the midpoint, and an adjusted EPS range of $1.56-$1.62, $1.59 at the midpoint. It seems that the analysts are a bit more conservative on both fronts. It also seems that the analysts have been underestimating PRGS’s potential for a while, as in the last ten quarters, PRGS only missed the latest revenue estimates, while beating on EPS 100% of the time. Seeking Alpha I wouldn’t be surprised to see the company beating on all fronts once again, as it seems to me that the management may be talking down on the company’s potential and providing a conservative estimate on purpose, so they can easily beat expectations. First quarters of the year are usually the quiet ones for software companies like PRGS. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the sequential decline in the top line and would put more emphasis on the company’s ARR numbers. The decline in sequential revenue could most likely just mean that most of the companies that they do business with already did their budget in Q4, which is always the busiest time for renewals. I’m not expecting any sort of surprises on the top and bottom lines out of the upcoming results. What I’m lookin...
