Quora's Poe Adds Web App Previews in AI Chat
Quora's AI aggregator Poe has introduced a Previews feature that lets users build interactive web apps directly inside the AI chat. The preview supports models such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, along with tools like Ideogram and Stable Diffusion. A Multi-Chat mode has been available since April 2024. Previews output HTML with CSS and JavaScript and can be shared via a dedicated link, with the output viewable in a new browser tab. The feature is currently limited to Pro users, whose plan (~€19 per month) offers more responses, faster processing, and exclusive model access. The development was discussed on Reddit (PoeAI), and TechCrunch’s Kyle Wiggers reported on the feature. The article also notes a copyright controversy surrounding Poe’s handling of paywalled content, highlighting IP concerns in AI-assisted content generation.
New feature release with limited availability; not industry-shifting.

The Economist Prepares Two-Track Web: Humans & AI Agents
The Economist is experimenting with creating parallel, agent‑readable versions of some content as AI intermediaries (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) increasingly surface and summarize news. Initially focusing on marketing and B2B pages that sit outside the paywall, the publisher is testing Q&A‑style, stripped-back formats optimized for AI agents while keeping rich human-facing experiences intact. Josh Muncke, VP of Generative AI at The Economist Group, says work is still in early experiments using internal conversational search and sandboxes. The company has reorganized product delivery into small cross-functional pods and reports faster shipping (a CarPlay app shipped five months early) and modest efficiency gains. The Economist maintains editorial limits—AI used for research, workflow and utilities only—and emphasizes labelling and careful paywall strategy to avoid eroding subscription value.
AI Price War: OpenAI Gains Ground on Anthropic
The AI price war is intensifying, with OpenAI gaining significant ground on Anthropic among business customers. According to a Wall Street Journal report, spending on OpenAI and Anthropic models via the OpenRouter platform was nearly evenly split in September among roughly 120,000 companies using both, a shift from January when Anthropic held about 75% of that spending. OpenAI's aggressive price cuts on its GPT-5.6 lineup, including an 80% reduction on its smallest model Luna and 20% on Terra, are driving this change. Companies are increasingly prioritizing cost, combining multiple providers and using cheaper models for simpler tasks. Anthropic faces its own challenges, including capacity issues with Claude Code and data retention criticism. Both companies are preparing for IPOs, needing to demonstrate sustainable revenue to justify valuations exceeding $1 trillion.
Musk's Grok Bot to Use Rival AI Models Like Claude
Elon Musk announced that Grok Bot, an agent app from his AI unit (formerly xAI, now part of SpaceX and recently renamed SpaceXAI/SpaceXSI), will no longer rely solely on its own Grok models. Instead, it will pick 'the best back-end model for the respective task,' citing examples such as Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, and Suno. The announcement, first reported by The Information, follows user complaints about access issues. This strategic shift acknowledges that xAI's models don't lead in all areas—for instance, Claude Opus 5.5 outperforms competitors on the Artificial Analysis ranking. The move mirrors a broader industry trend of multi-model routing, as seen with Microsoft's Copilot and Perplexity, and comes despite reports of SpaceX planning $40 billion in debt for Nvidia chips.
