AI Fuels IBM Hiring Spree; Anthropic Soars to $380B

IBM announced plans to significantly increase its entry-level hiring in the U.S. by tripling the number of positions by 2026, according to reporting from Bloomberg and confirmed by IBM's Chief Human Resource Officer, Nickle LaMoreaux. This decision comes as the artificial intelligence industry debates the impact of AI on entry-level jobs.

LaMoreaux announced the initiative at the Charters Leading With AI Summit on Tuesday. She explained that the entry-level jobs offered by IBM would be different than those of the past, shifting focus away from areas easily automated by AI, such as coding, and towards "people-forward areas."

In other tech news, Rivian's software and services played a crucial role in the company's financial performance in 2025, according to TechCrunch. The company reported a total revenue of $5.38 billion, up from $4.97 billion the previous year. While automotive revenue decreased, software and services revenue more than tripled to $1.55 billion, largely due to a joint venture with Volkswagen Group.

Additionally, AI startup Anthropic concluded a $30 billion Series G fundraising round, valuing the company at $380 billion, a significant increase from its previous valuation of $183 billion, as reported by TechCrunch. The round was led by Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue, with participation from other prominent firms. This funding comes as Anthropic competes with OpenAI for customers and attention.

In other news, the Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson accused Apple of suppressing conservative-leaning news outlets on Apple News, according to Ars Technica. Ferguson pointed to research by a pro-Trump group that accused Apple News of suppressing articles from Fox News, the New York Post, Daily Mail, Breitbart, and The Gateway Pundit. He claims that Apple News might be violating promises made to consumers in its terms of service.

Finally, deals are available on gaming laptops, according to The Verge. The 2025 models of Acer's Predator Helios Neo 16S and Asus' Zephyrus G14 are currently on sale at Best Buy.
