Meta released Muse Spark 1.1 on Thursday and made it open to US developers through a new Meta Model API, creating direct competition with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

A New York federal court has returned prediction-market access to state hands just weeks before the CFTC closes comments on national event-contract rules. In a July 7 opinion and order, Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District of New York denied KalshiEX LLC’s request for a preliminary injunction to block New York gaming officials from enforcing state gambling law against its sports-event contracts while the case proceeds. The decision is preliminary. It leaves the merits open, but it rejects Kalshi’s bid for immediate relief on the argument that the Commodity Exchange Act preempts New York’s gambling laws as applied to those contracts. The access risk now has two tracks: whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission accepts event contracts at the federal level, and whether states can force platforms to block, limit, or redesign access
