Anthropic Ships Opus 4.7, $2B With No Product & Google AI Deals

Author: Jaeden Schafer April 17, 2026 Duration: 14:22

Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4.7 today, but the bigger story is the model they didn't release. We break down Project Glasswing, why Mythos stays locked up, and what it signals about where frontier AI actually is right now. Plus: a 7-month-old AI startup is raising at a $2 billion valuation with zero product, a robotics startup wants to be the Cursor for physical AI, Google used AI to block 8.3 billion ads last year (and cut false positives by 80%), and Gemini is coming to professional video editing.
