Simon Willison's May newsletter teases that AI got expensive while Anthropic had a strong month.
“Al got expensive, and Anthropic had a really good month”
This is a promotional announcement for Simon Willison's paywalled monthly newsletter, listing topics like rising AI costs, a strong month for Anthropic, disappointing model releases, and his Datasette Agent launch. It hints at industry signals but contains no substantive detail since the actual content is sponsors-only, making it low-value as a standalone signal.
