I'll search for the latest AI news from the past 24-48 hours

Here is recent news from the past 24-48 hours for May 2-3, 2026.

πŸ“° AI Daily β€” May 3, 2026

Here's what actually happened:

πŸ› Big Tech
.
Pentagon β€” DoD signed deals with seven major tech companies (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, SpaceX, and Reflection) to deploy AI on classified networks
.
Anthropic was blacklisted after refusing to allow military use of Claude for "all lawful purposes," including autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, with the Pentagon declaring it a "supply chain risk."
Reality check: your business doesn't live in this world, but watch how compute access + government contracts = real money.

Anthropic β€” targeting $900B valuation in new fundraising round, which would surpass OpenAI's $852B valuation from earlier this year


Anthropic's annualized run-rate revenue surpassed $30 billion, up from $9 billion at end of 2025.
Translation: Claude is eating OpenAI's lunch in enterprise deals.

πŸ€– New Models / AI Releases

Google's Gemini 3.1 Ultra β€” 2 million token context window, designed to reason across text, image, audio, and video natively, with new sandboxed code execution allowing models to write and test code mid-conversation

. Matters for builders: longer context = less session fragmentation, native multimodal means fewer intermediate transcriptions.

⚠️ Wild Stuff
.
Standard Intelligence β€” 6-person startup raised $75M from Sequoia and Spark Capital to build "computer use" models that interact with apps through graphical interfaces

This is the anti-prompt-engineering: models learning to use software like humans do. Worrying for some tool makers, validating for others


AI is moving fast and with this community you can move faster
Hey Frens πŸ’—

A little rebrand is on the way

I've been thinking a lot about how we can all make real money with AI and after doing my research

I found that hackathons are one of the most underrated ways to do it.

There's literally millions of dollars in prizes sitting on the table every month and most builders and AI users don't even know where to look

So I built something about it

HackList a directory of the best AI and Web3 hackathons sorted by deadline and prize pool.

Going forward this channel is getting a little rebrand.

I'll be sharing:

New hackathon opportunities weekly

High-prize listings you don't want to miss

Deadline alerts before they close

AI tools and builder news as always

Same AI with Beni just more focused on helping you win
