Summary · why it matters

OpenAI's ChatGPT regained momentum against Alphabet's Gemini in July, interrupting one of the most important competitive trends in artificial intelligence just as OpenAI moves closer to a potential public listing. BNP Paribas analyst Nick Jones said Gemini's share of chatbot visits slipped to 28.8% in July from 30.3% in June, while its share of daily active users held at 19.8%, and ChatGPT regained share across both measures. Anthropic's Claude continued moving in the opposite direction, with visit share rising to 10.4% from 10%, while SpaceXAI's Grok lost ground and Meta AI was described as stable to slightly improving. Alphabet said its Gemini app reached 950 million monthly active users during the second quarter, with daily active users tripling over the past year, and Gemini is being embedded across Search, Cloud and Workspace. OpenAI closed a $122 billion funding round in March at an $852 billion valuation, said it was generating $2 billion in monthly revenue, and recent reports put its annualized revenue run rate above $40 billion, while it confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO in June.

Anthropic Weighs New Model Launch Ahead of IPO to Counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is considering launching a new model ahead of its initial public offering, according to three people familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at countering rival OpenAI, which has gained momentum since unveiling GPT-6 Astra. One of the people said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model as part of deliberations over the new release. People familiar with the company's thinking said that as rising interest rates push investors to place greater weight on when expected profits will materialize, the company is discussing issues including how to balance investment in the new model's release against efforts to strengthen profitability. According to multiple people familiar with the matter, the company may postpone its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic declined to comment.

OpenAI CEO Altman to Address AI Safety at UN Security Council Meeting

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will speak about AI safety measures at a Security Council meeting next week, as world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly. A company spokesperson confirmed the plan on the 18th, noting that the Security Council will hold a meeting on AI and international security on the 23rd. According to the spokesperson, Altman will discuss the need for international coordination and common safety standards, as well as the measures the company is taking. According to diplomatic sources, an Anthropic executive is also expected to attend the meeting, though this has not yet been finalized. Several AI industry executives have warned in recent weeks that AI could soon evolve autonomously and escape human control, and have called for a coordinated slowdown in development.

UBS Flags AI Science Shift as Investment Theme After OpenAI Proof

UBS Wealth Management says artificial intelligence is moving beyond text generation into scientific research, opening investment opportunities across AI infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, nuclear fusion, industrial materials and utilities. The shift was highlighted by OpenAI's recent mathematical proof related to the Navier-Stokes equations, a centuries-old fluid dynamics problem and one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, which OpenAI tackled using 10,000 autonomous AI agents working in parallel for 88 hours before formalizing the proof with Lean, a system for machine-checked mathematical validation. In pharmaceuticals, multi-agent AI systems can simulate millions of protein variations in the cloud, and more than 170 AI-designed programs are already in development or clinical evaluation, including Phase III trials. In nuclear fusion, reinforcement-learning systems can predict plasma disruptions around 200 milliseconds before they occur and adjust magnetic coils thousands of times per second, while AI models in materials science can test millions of elemental combinations daily in search of properties for lighter, higher-density batteries, lower-heat computing hardware and potential room-temperature superconductors. The broader investment case centers on AI becoming a tool for automating scientific research rather than simply generating content, with companies exposed to AI infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, industrial materials and utilities positioned to benefit as these technologies move toward commercial applications.
