The Trump administration’s export ban on Anthropic’s most advanced models is creating exactly the kind of market vacuum that critics warned about. Two weeks after Mythos 5 and Fable 5 were blocked from non-American access, Asian AI startups are rushing to fill the gap with alternatives of their own. Sakana AI: Fugu, the orchestration hedge. […]

After two weeks of tense negotiations with the Trump administration, Anthropic’s Mythos 5 is back in action, at least for a select group of organizations. Fable 5, the public-facing Mythos-class model, remains stuck in regulatory limbo with no timeline for release. The breakthrough came in a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Anthropic co-founder […]

Digital sovereignty has moved from policy slogan to operational agenda. At this year’s UN Open Source Week, a coalition of nations, technologists, and institutions laid out concrete roadmaps for replacing dependence on US cloud giants with open-source alternatives — and the conversation was notably more urgent than in years past. Tanzania: from consumers to creators. […]

In a 21-page policy paper titled “A Pragmatic Approach to AI Governance in America,” released alongside a blog post from Google president Kent Walker, the company proposes what it calls a middle path between over-regulation and […]

A peer-reviewed critique published in Nature has challenged Microsoft’s landmark 2025 claim of having created the first topological qubits, alleging that the evidence was shaped by coding errors and selective data presentation. The critique, written by University of St Andrews lecturer Henry Legg, was published in Nature’s “Matters Arising” section, the journal’s formal venue for […]

A new paper on arXiv has proven a fundamental mathematical ceiling on the practice of combining multiple large language models to improve accuracy, and the findings challenge one of the field’s most common assumptions. The paper, by researcher Josef Chen, analyses 67 frontier models from 21 providers and introduces the concept of the “co-failure ceiling” […]

Apple is making a significant change to its Mac silicon roadmap, reportedly skipping the high-end variants of the upcoming M6 chip in favour of a new AI-focused M7 generation, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The base M6 processor, internally codenamed Komodo, is still expected to debut in a refreshed 14-inch MacBook Pro later this year […]
