- Europe's two auto industry bulwarks, Volkswagen and Stellantis, used this year's Paris auto show to signal growing confidence in their electric vehicles, adopting lessons from the Chinese rivals and partners now reshaping their home market.
- A selloff in AI supplier shares is the strongest sign to date that the mood on the trade of the decade is shifting, with worries rising interest rates could scupper a spending spree bigger than America's historic railroad boom.
- Anthropic said its experiments suggested small AI models may be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial internet-of-things (IoT) devices, such as smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes.
- Banking regulators are stepping up efforts to contain growing AI risks, six people familiar with the matter said, with some pointing to the potential for cyberattacks on banks or rogue agents undermining global financial stability.

Anthropic and OpenAI have sought significant control over what outside evaluators can publish, according to two people familiar with the discussions, amid concerns that findings could reveal trade secrets.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said last month that external evaluators should have the right to publish key findings "without editorial control.” OpenAI agreed days later, saying assessors should have “editorial independence.”
The AI companies are worried that evaluator staff working inside the companies' walls as part of so-called embedded evaluation could take proprietary information to rivals, according to the people, who declined to be named as the matter was private.

The November 18 auction will test the strength of the high-end art market, in which collectors have continued to compete for scarce trophy works, undeterred by broader economic uncertainty.
