Good morning. Anthropic and Google are in talks for a cloud deal. Donald Trump tames expectations for his meeting with Vladimir Putin. And we take a deep dive into the quest for an AI junior banker. Listen to the day’s top stories.
Anthropic is in discussions with Google about a deal that would provide the artificial intelligence company with additional cloud computing power valued in the high tens of billions of dollars, according to people familiar.
Donald Trump said he didn’t want to have “a wasted meeting” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the latest sign that a planned second summit between the two leaders could be in jeopardy. While he hasn’t decided to scrap the meeting, he reiterated his desire to see current battlefield lines frozen as part of a ceasefire agreement. The Kremlin has rejected that request, and sought to tamp down expectations for the summit.
