Clay Valley Daily: Meta Gets an F, Stripe Buys OpenRouter, Amazon Expands Drone Delivery

Silicon Valley's week ends with three unusually literal punchlines. Guidelight's assessment of six basic AI-control practices gave OpenAI and Anthropic C-plus grades, Google a D-plus, xAI a D-minus, and Meta an F. The nonprofit found that no company fully implemented any practice it assessed. 1

Stripe agreed to buy OpenRouter, a marketplace that routes developers across more than 400 AI models. The companies did not disclose the price, but Reuters reported that a source valued the deal at slightly more than $8 billion; OpenRouter processes more than 10 trillion tokens per day. 2 Amazon also said it plans to expand drone delivery from 11 operating locations to about 500 U.S. locales by year-end, subject to local approvals. 3 The clay is satire; those figures are the real machinery underneath it.
