The U.S. and China now have a formal AI-risk dialogue, but international limits on autonomous weapons remain contested.

Shifting

Previously: Agent products are becoming execution environments that connect devices, local models, and specialized workflows.

Now: Local-model support is appearing in agent products.

Settled

Previously: AI governance is moving from broad safety discussion toward deployment-specific oversight.

Now: No durable conclusion is established yet.

Settled

No material change.

Anthropic’s mid-tier Sonnet now approaches Opus on one independent model index, at high token use.
