Anthropic's choices about its models drew attention elsewhere as well: text watermarking reaches four older Claude models from November 3, and Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman renewed his criticism of the model welfare debate that Anthropic has helped lead. OpenAI also disclosed more than 200 law enforcement referrals in the third quarter. Here is the story that matters most, then 18 briefs.
