Anthropic's decision to suspend access to its newest models for India has ignited a broader debate among the country's tech community. Industry leaders are examining whether relying on foreign AI providers poses a strategic risk to India's ambitions. The episode is being framed as a potential inflection point for Indian AI policy and domestic development priorities.

SQLite added an AGENTS.md file aimed at people pointing coding agents at its codebase, not at its own internal development. The file says SQLite does not accept agentic code, though it will accept agentic bug reports with reproducible test cases. The project has also split AI-generated bug reports into a new SQLite Bug Forum, where D. Richard Hipp is responding with commits.
The Verge frames New York’s 12th District Democratic primary as a proxy fight over AI regulation. OpenAI-linked backers and an Anthropic-backed PAC are spending on opposite sides of Alex Bores’ congressional run.
