$12.9B for the open-source AI hub that basically every model builder depends on — Microsoft reportedly circled too but walked away. *(TechCrunch)*

Nearly every state signed on, daily teen time limits are coming to Instagram and Facebook — but child safety groups say the caps still leave plenty of exposure. *(Ars Technica)*

A Virginia startup called Operation Bluebird just resurrected the old bird logo, claiming Musk let the trademark lapse — pure chaos, zero stakes, exactly the palate cleanser this week needed. *(Ars Technica)*
