Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.
Anthropic is quietly embedding invisible watermarks into every piece of text its Claude AI models produce — and the company hasn't explained exactly how. The machine-readable signatures are already drawing attention from developers trying to detect or defeat them, raising real questions about transparency, consent, and who ultimately owns AI-generated content.
On the money side of AI, Databricks went into its latest fundraising round hoping to bring in one billion dollars. Investors had other ideas, pushing the ask to fifteen billion. The company landed somewhere in the middle, closing at five billion dollars and walking away with a valuation of one hundred ninety billion — a sign of just how much appetite remains for infrastructure bets in this space.
Meanwhile, if you've been waiting on a Prusa Research printer, there's some good news. The company announced second-generation upgrades across its entire lineup, including the XL, the Core One, and the Core One L. All three are getting a plus designation, and anyone with an order already in the queue will receive the updated model automatically at no extra charge.
That's what's shaping the conversation today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
