OpenAI and Anthropic are considering using investor funds to cover potential multibillion-dollar lawsuits after insurers refused to provide comprehensive coverage for AI-related risks, according to the Financial Times.

People familiar with the matter said OpenAI has secured only about 300 million dollars in insurance for emerging AI risks—a small fraction of what would be needed to handle ongoing lawsuits that could reach into the billions. The company is now weighing a form of self-insurance, drawing from its roughly 60 billion dollars in investor funds.

Anthropic, meanwhile, is already using internal resources to help fund a 1.5 billion dollar settlement. The FT reports that insurers have grown wary of so-called "nuclear verdicts"—unprecedented damage awards against young tech firms developing high-stakes technologies.

Google is expanding its AI-powered search mode to more than 35 new languages and over 40 additional countries and regions, including much of Europe. The global rollout is expected to finish within a week, bringing the feature to more than 200 countries worldwide. In this mode, users tend to ask much longer and more complex questions than in traditional searches, making the experience feel more like ChatGPT than classic Google Search.

While familiar risks like potential hallucinations remain, the new mode promises a noticeably improved search experience with more precise answers and less SEO clutter. But for the broader web ecosystem, this marks a troubling shift: Google is evolving into an “omni-publisher” that keeps users inside its own platform. As links receive fewer clicks, publishers are left struggling with declining traffic and ad revenue.

Elevenlabs has released ElevenLabs UI, an open-source library featuring 22 components designed for speech and audio applications. According to the company, the toolkit makes it easy to build user interfaces for chatbots, transcription tools, music projects, or voice agents. All components are fully customizable and distributed under the MIT license, based on the shadcn/ui framework.

Examples include "transcriber-01," a dictation module for web apps, and "voice-chat-03," a chat interface with built-in state management. Additional modules like audio players, conversation bars, and interactive visualizations are also available on the project website.

Developers can freely use, modify, and integrate the source code into their own projects.

Microsoft unveiled several new multimodal AI models for Azure AI Foundry at OpenAI DevDay in October 2025. The update includes GPT-image-1-mini, GPT-realtime-mini, and GPT-audio-mini, along with security improvements for GPT-5-chat-latest and the analytics model GPT-5-pro. The new models are designed to help developers build AI applications for text, image, audio, and video faster and at lower cost.

The Microsoft Agent Framework, an open-source SDK for coordinating multiple AI agents, is now available, as is OpenAI's new Agent SDK.
