(meanwhile xAI fully capitulated, it seems. but also funny that that seems to be the one the government isn't exactly frothing at the mouth to get to agree)

strategically, it was probably smart of OAI and google to let anthropic be the face of resistance in this little skirmish but hard for goog and OAI to score points in public after the battle has been fought
