X REBUILDS ENTIRE ADVERTISING PLATFORM FROM GROUND UP IN BIGGEST OVERHAUL OF 20-YEAR HISTORY
@X is rebuilding its entire advertising platform from the ground up, calling it the most ambitious overhaul in the company's 20-year history, with a phased rollout starting this month. The new Ads Manager is built around three pillars: AI-powered campaign creation, full advertiser control and speed, and AI-driven targeting and optimization. Modern retrieval and ranking systems will deliver contextual and semantic ad placement aligned with real-time activity on the platform. Monique Pintarelli (@Monique_X), Head of Global Advertising at xAI, said few companies would have the technical courage to rebuild an entire ad stack on this timeline. She framed it as classic X and xAI execution, bold and fast. The rebuild positions X to integrate @xai capabilities natively rather than bolting AI onto legacy infrastructure. Advertisers will see a sleeker design first, with deeper features rolling out over the coming months. Timing matters. The overhaul lands as Meta pushes $USDC creator payouts on Solana and Polygon, signaling the broader platform race to lock in next-generation monetization stacks.

WHITE HOUSE OPPOSES ANTHROPIC PLAN TO EXPAND MYTHOS ACCESS TO 70 MORE COMPANIES
The White House opposes Anthropic's plan to expand access to its Mythos AI model to roughly 70 additional companies and organizations, per WSJ and Bloomberg reporting. @AnthropicAI currently restricts Mythos to a small group of partners under Project Glasswing, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and JPMorgan. The proposed expansion would bring total access to roughly 120 entities. Administration officials cited two concerns: the model's misuse potential and Anthropic's ability to support a wider rollout without affecting government agencies' use. A WH official said the administration is balancing innovation and security. Anthropic's own analysis says Mythos can detect and exploit vulnerabilities across critical software, including risks to electric grids, power plants, and hospitals if compromised. A small group of unauthorized users gained access on April 8, the same day a limited release was announced.
