Meta rolled back a controversial image generation feature on Instagram and WhatsApp that allowed users to tag accounts to include others, following user and Screen Actors Guild warnings.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's CEO, published an open letter opposing "premature restrictions" on open-weight AI models, signed by major Silicon Valley players including Microsoft, Meta, and later OpenAI and Google, but notably not Anthropic.
