Google Gemini conquers the top AI charts, Microsoft finalizes a billion-dollar investment in Anthropic, and leading music companies partner with an AI startup. Here's a roundup of the past week's most important events in AI.
Highlights of the week:
- Google Gemini leads the Arena ranking and beats both GPT-5 and Claude 4.5
- Microsoft is completing a $2 billion investment in Anthropic
- Startup Klay Vision signed an agreement for AI-generated music with the three major record companies Sony, Universal and Warner
- Developing LLM personality types
Google Gemini dominates global rankings
Google Gemini 3 Pro a Nano Banana Pro Gemini Pro 3 ranked first in the Arena Rankings, an independent evaluation of AI models based on user preferences. The model outperformed competitors including GPT-5 and Claude 4.5 in tests of general knowledge, reasoning and coding. Gemini has achieved 87% user preferences in direct comparison with other top models. This success confirms Google's position as a leader in the competitive field of generative AI and demonstrates the growing user satisfaction with the performance of its models.
Microsoft invests $2 billion in Anthropic
Microsoft finalizes strategic investment of USD 2 billion to the company Anthropic, a competitor to OpenAI, deepening its partnership in cloud infrastructure and AI development. The agreement includes Anthropic's preferential access to Microsoft Azure cloud and joint development enterprise AI Solution. The move strengthens Microsoft's position in competition with Google and OpenAI and creates a strong counterweight in the rapidly growing enterprise AI application market. The investment follows similar strategic moves by other tech giants.
Klay Vision signs licenses with three major record labels
Klay Vision of Los Angeles pioneered licensing agreements with three major record labels, Sony Music Entertainment (SME), Universal Music Group (UMG) a Warner Music Group (WMG). The move represents a major shift in the traditional music industry's attitude towards AI and sets a precedent for future collaborations. Moreover, the three companies, Sony Music Entertainment (SME), Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG), own the rights to the underlying compositions on which their recordings are based.
These contracts, whose financial terms have not been disclosed, authorize Klay Vision to train generative models on music whose copyrights are owned by these companies. The start-up plans to launch a subscription streaming platform that allows listeners to customize existing music while rewarding the copyright owners, and aims to enter into similar agreements with independent record labels, publishers, artists and composers.
Developing LLM personalities based on morality
Runjin Chen and his colleagues at Anthropic, UT Austin, UC Berkeley, and the Constellation and Truthful AI safety labs have identified personality vectors, or patterns in the output layers of large-scale language models that correspond to specific character traits. They created an automated process that attenuates or amplifies these vectors using natural language descriptions.
This tool allows you to fine-tune the moral personality traits of AI models. The system uses advanced prompt engineering and reinforcement learning techniques to achieve consistent personality expression across different conversational contexts. This technology has significant potential for applications in the customer service, education, and entertainment industries.
