According to PANews, the company has also discussed moving up its release schedule, while its IPO plan may be delayed until November. OpenRouter data showed Astra captured about 13% of enterprise AI spending about two weeks after launch, while Anthropic’s Fable series held about 8%. OpenRouter analyst Peter Walker said OpenAI’s share rose to about 65% in the first week of September, while Anthropic fell to about 35%, marking the first time in two and a half years that OpenAI overtook Anthropic on the platform. Anthropic released Fable 5.1 on September 1 and cut cache read prices by 75%. OpenAI released Astra on September 3, and CEO Sam Altman said the company was working to get Astra to everyone as quickly as possible. OpenRouter weekly token usage data showed Anthropic held more than 50% of platform share from January to June 2026 before Astra’s launch. After Astra went live, OpenAI’s share increased quickly, and Anthropic’s share declined. Reuters also reported that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay on September 12 calling for AI development to slow down. Sam Altman and Elon Musk later publicly agreed with him. Seven days later, Reuters reported that Anthropic was considering changing its release pace and bringing out a new model sooner than planned.

According to CNBC, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are set to meet Sunday at JPMorgan Chase's Manhattan headquarters to discuss potential agreements on AI, tariffs and critical minerals before a Washington summit this week between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is also expected to attend, and the talks are scheduled to begin at about 10:30 a.m. and run all day. The discussions are expected to cover the U.S.-China trade truce set to expire on November 10, Chinese shipments of rare-earth magnets and critical minerals, and possible guard rails for artificial intelligence after reports of security breaches involving AI models. Bessent said Friday that the talks would include both open- and closed-weight models, and he said the United States remains the leader in AI while being open to discussions on avoiding shared risks and a split between the two systems. Analysts said the most likely outcome is small steps from Washington and Beijing to show they are still avoiding a further escalation in tensions. Anna Ashton, founder of Ashton Intelligence, said she expects some deliverables because of the summit but does not see a breakthrough, adding that status quo is likely the best expectation for both sides. The talks also come as the two countries continue to work through issues from Trump and Xi's meeting in Beijing in May, including efforts to cut tariffs on non-strategic goods and Chinese pledges to increase purchases of U.S. agricultural goods by $17 billion a year and buy more than 200 Boeing aircraft. China had also promised under the truce to restore the flow of critical minerals to U.S. and global users, though a senior U.S. official said Friday that China's performance on that front has not been up to par.

On September 20, a whale adjusted its positions repeatedly in the early hours of the day, with total trading activity of about $32 million. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, the whale increased a Bitcoin long by 250 BTC, bringing the total to 500 BTC long positions, then opened a short position of 5 million XRP and added 40,000 SOL to its short exposure. The whale now holds 2972.96 ZEC short positions and has placed 25 limit sell orders above the ZEC price, ranging from $1,600 to $1,800. The total value of those orders is about $3.45 million, suggesting the whale is waiting for ZEC to rebound by roughly 10% to 24% before adding to the short. The whale's strategy appears to be centered on going long BTC while shorting altcoins, rather than simply betting on broader market gains or losses. It has expanded its BTC long to 500 coins, while shorting SOL, XRP, HYPE, and ZEC, indicating a view that altcoins may underperform Bitcoin. Over the past 12 closed positions, the whale has recorded profits in every trade, with total gains of about $4.58 million. Its overall realized profit and loss stands at about $17.68 million, and its win rate on completed trades is 69.63%. The address is 0x469e9a7f624b04c24f0e64edf8d8a277e6bf58a5.
