Anthropic is launching a new AI model designed to accomplish a wide range of business tasks at a lower cost, as the startup seeks to stay ahead of the competition before its initial public offering. The new model, called Claude Opus 5.5, offers performance similar to Fable 5.1, but at a significantly lower cost. According to the company, the new model produces output faster than Opus 5, and tests have shown it writes more clearly. Anthropic plans to expand the 5.5 model family with the release of new versions of Claude Sonnet and Haiku in the coming weeks. #Arabic_Business

Alibaba Just Gave Away Its Best AI Model For Free, Almost Matching Claude and ChatGPT
Has China truly begun to surpass America in artificial intelligence? The question may seem shocking, but current events are prompting markets to ask it. Alibaba unveiled its Qwen 3.8 Max model, claiming it outperforms Anthropic's most powerful models in some tests. Months ago, many predicted that US chip restrictions would slow China down, but the opposite occurred: DeepSec, then Kemei, and now Alibaba, all at a surprisingly rapid pace. Alibaba's stock jumped more than 7% after the announcement. If China is advancing this quickly despite the restrictions, what would happen if they disappeared one day?
