What if you could ask AI for last week’s marketing performance in plain English—and get a client-ready recap in seconds? Operator Stack’s Reporting System connects to your marketing data so you can automate reporting, uncover insights, and spend more time making decisions.

Anthropic just published research showing that Claude does its thinking in a small, internal “workspace” resembling what neuroscientists credit for human conscious access, with researchers saying the area wasn’t programmed but “emerged on its own.” Anthropic found ‘J-space,’ an internal area acting like Claude’s internal notepad, which holds active concepts the model uses and steers while thinking.

It’s a tough return to work this Monday for many Microsoft employees. The tech giant just cut 2.1% of its global workforce (around 4,800 roles). The layoffs hit Xbox and commercial sales the hardest, with 1,600 of those roles coming from Xbox staff. Microsoft’s EVP and CPO stressed that the roles “are not being replaced by AI” but didn’t go so far as to say they weren’t inspired by AI changes.

Chinese tech giant Tencent’s Hunyuan just promoted its Hy3 model out of an April preview and into a full open-source release, with benchmark results that claim to rival “flagship open-source models with 2-5x parameters.” Hy3 only uses a small slice of its parameters to work on each request, letting it run on under half the hardware needed for Zhipu’s much larger GLM-5.2.

Elon Musk's X rolled out a redesigned video editor and recorder UI on iOS, stacking green screen recording and multi-language captions into one overlay Nikita Bier previewed on the platform. The update follows two years of stalled attempts to make X a video destination, with usage still trailing TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

Exponential View triangulated public filings, hyperscaler disclosures, and confidence-scored leaks into an item-by-item model of who actually spends what on AI. The count comes to $110 billion over twelve months and a $175 billion annualized run rate. Hyperscaler AI revenue is now just about covering the depreciation on their GPU buildouts, assuming a six-year useful life for compute assets.
