    OpenAI advances roughly $30 billion funding round, aiming to lock in investors ahead of Anthropic's IPO

    According to Reuters, OpenAI is accelerating a roughly $30 billion funding round, targeting a valuation above $1.4 trillion, seeking to lock in investors before Anthropic's expected mid-November IPO; existing investors including SoftBank and Abu Dhabi's MGX are in talks to participate. OpenAI told investors that growth accelerated after the release of GPT-6 Astra, with annualized revenue already at $50 billion and expected to rise to $70 billion by year-end; Anthropic said its third-quarter revenue rose from $11.6 billion to $16.8 billion, but slowing month-over-month growth has raised valuation concerns. The two also differ on revenue recognition: OpenAI recognizes revenue on a net basis and has accused Anthropic of recognizing revenue on a gross basis under third-party cloud vendor contracts.

    Indian Supreme Court proposes hash database and penalty framework to platforms for CSAM regulation

    In a 137-page order, the Indian Supreme Court declined to ban children from using social media or impose age-based restrictions, holding that internet access is a fundamental right guaranteed under Articles 21 and 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, while also proposing a regulatory framework for child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSEAM/CSAM). The framework calls for a national database recording hashes and URLs of confirmed content, which could be built on the Sahyog portal, along with supporting processes including manual verification, an independent appeals channel, confirmation of reports within 24 hours, takedown within two hours, and reporting to bodies such as the SJPU. The court also recommended that the government consider fines beyond intermediary liability and the confiscation of revenue earned from disseminating such content through paywalls; the framework has not yet been implemented, and the government must submit an affidavit before the next hearing on December 10 explaining its progress.

    Anthropic is working with law firms to develop fair negotiation standards for AI agents that bargain on users' behalf, handle complaints, or improve contract offers.
