World leaders and top AI chiefs met at the G7 to discuss safety and rules for powerful systems. Anthropic is locked in a fight with the U.S. government over export restrictions that took Mythos and Fable offline. Leaked letters show Washington warned against sharing models with “foreign persons,” while staff say they feel unfairly targeted. […]
SpaceX has exercised its option to acquire AI coding startup Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion. The move follows SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO, whose sharp post-listing rally made a stock-only takeover straightforward. Cursor had already agreed in April to a partnership that included the acquisition option or a smaller $10 billion partnership alternative. Cursor CEO

Washington’s sudden export restriction on Anthropic’s Fable 5 was presented as a security precaution — but many experts say the move doesn’t hold up technically. More than 100 cybersecurity researchers and execs have signed an open letter arguing that the flagged jailbreak was a proof-of-concept useful for defenders, not cause for wholesale removal. Critics note rival
Anthropic has pulled its most powerful models, Mythos and Fable 5, offline worldwide after a U.S. order required the company to block foreign access. The directive followed reports of a jailbreak that could let bad actors bypass safety limits — a risk U.S. officials treated as serious enough to force an unusual, sweeping restriction. The

Anthropic launched Fable 5 as a next-generation public model but bundled it with strict invisible safety filters that silently softened answers on AI development, biology, chemistry, and cybersecurity topics. Researchers trying everyday prompts — sometimes as simple as “hello”—got flagged or rerouted into weaker responses, creating confusion and blocking legitimate research and defensive work. The backlash was fast
SpaceX’s $75B IPO succeeded because investors bet on Musk’s proven track record — reusable rockets, 90+ launches yearly, and Starlink’s 5M+ customers—plus a $28.5T market dream spanning AI data centers and Mars. Wall Street models SpaceX’s AI revenue growing 100x to $755B by 2031, justifying the $1.8T valuation despite the company losing $4.9B on $18.7B revenue

Jeff Bezos launched his AI startup Prometheus*with $12 billion funding, giving it a $41 billion valuation. The startup will create an “artificial general engineer” — an AI that helps humans design complex physical machines like jet engines, medical devices, and smartphones. This isn’t a chatbot; Prometheus will interact with the real physical world to solve impossible

The Lord of the Rings quip Dario Amodei used — comparing Washington to slow-moving Treebeard — captures a real frustration: policy is simply not keeping up with AI’s breakneck advance. Recent moves by Anthropic, including a model that can self-improve and public calls to let regulators “ground” frontier systems, underline that the risks are no longer hypothetical.
Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5, the public version of its new Mythos-class AI. In simple terms, this is a very powerful model wrapped in strong safety rules. For most people, it can write code, analyze documents, summarize complex information, and handle long, difficult tasks better than earlier models. But when a request touches risky areas
The White House has reportedly discussed taking an ownership stake in OpenAI and putting the shares into a public fund meant to share AI profits with ordinary Americans. The idea is sold as spreading wealth from the AI boom to people who’ve mostly missed out so far. But this raises immediate conflicts. If the government owns
Amazon has unveiled Proteus, a new warehouse robot that understands plain-language instructions. Instead of being programmed step-by-step, Proteus can listen to conversational commands, decide which tasks are most urgent, plan routes, and move heavy carts across warehouses. The company showed the robot in London and said it will start deploying the machines across Europe from 2027.
