The stories that led the day, ranked by how many independent outlets covered each one.

Anthropic seems to have decided to test that theory by warning investors about 'existential risks to humanity' right before its IPO. Meanwhile, OpenAI canceled the release of GPT-6.1 Astra — apparently safety matters more than speed, and Argentina issued a two-week ultimatum to Britain over the Falklands, reminding us old disputes never really go away.
