Sam Altman pushes for AI sovereign wealth fund

Welcome back, Superhuman. Sam Altman is reportedly pushing for a US sovereign wealth fund that would give the government a 5% stake in OpenAI and help share the spoils of AI with the public. If he gets his way, other AI leaders like Anthropic, Google, and Meta might have to do the same.

Today: Anthropic’s upcoming chip, how to turn Reddit threads into viral posts with AI, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. OpenAI wants top AI labs to donate equity to a US sovereign wealth fund: Sam Altman has reportedly proposed donating 5% of OpenAI’s equity to a wealth fund, with the plan requiring rivals like Anthropic, Google, and Meta to match it. Altman argues that this would help share the upside of AI and comes as OpenAI scrambles to ease tensions with the Trump administration and the general public. Read more.

2. Microsoft launches the Microsoft Frontier Company to help customers deploy AI: The Microsoft Frontier Company — backed by $2.5B and 6,000 engineers — will help drive enterprise deployment of the company’s AI tools by embedding experts across companies. The move mirrors other major tech firms: AWS committed $1B to its own deployment org just two days earlier, and OpenAI and Anthropic stood up similar ventures in May.

3. Anthropic reportedly wants to build a custom chip with Samsung: Anthropic is in early talks with Samsung to co-develop a custom chip, according to The Information. This lands a week after rival OpenAI debuted its own Broadcom-built inference chip, "Jalapeño," as AI labs race to design custom silicon and loosen Nvidia's grip. Anthropic declined to confirm the Samsung talks, pointing instead to its existing chip stack with Nvidia, Google, and Amazon.

US and Chinese model drama continued. Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 came back online this week after the US government lifted the export controls that froze it, while both Mythos and OpenAI’s new GPT-5.6 model series (Sol, Terra, and Luna) now sit in limited preview. Chinese models, like Z.ai’s GLM-5.2, have also put pressure on US labs by rivaling top model performance at a fraction of the price.

Meta enhanced its brain-reading research tool. Meta’s Brain2Qwerty v2 can analyze raw brain signals and convert them into sentences in real time, while hitting a 61% accuracy rate. It’s Meta’s highest-performing brain-to-text tool yet, and the tech leader says it could benefit people who lost the ability to speak after a stroke, accident, or brain disorder.

Etched emerged from stealth with a new class of AI hardware. Etched builds state-of-the-art chips, racks, and software to help today’s AI models run faster and more efficiently. The startup made a splash — already boasting $1B in customer contracts and a $5B valuation. It’ll start shipping products this summer, which could help ease the ongoing memory crunch that’s driving up electronics prices.
