It has been nearly a week since the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to pull its most advanced models offline. Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5 remain suspended. Anthropic leaders have flown to Washington, met with White House officials, and negotiated for days. And yet no one can say exactly what the company did wrong (Wired, […]

Microsoft has quietly built a booming business selling OpenAI’s GPT models to Chinese technology giants, even as OpenAI and Anthropic refuse to sell their AI directly into the country over fears of intellectual property theft and misuse. The arrangement, detailed in reporting by Bloomberg published June 18, hands Microsoft a position no other American AI […]

Intel Foundry announced that its 18A-P process, the first performance enhancement to the Intel 18A node family, has entered risk production. The milestone, disclosed at the 2026 VLSI Symposium alongside six research papers, marks the company’s most detailed public accounting of how its gate-all-around (GAA) transistors and backside power delivery architecture perform in real designs. […]

When a chip fabrication plant discovers a pattern of low-yielding wafers, finding the root cause can take weeks. Engineers set up expensive Design of Experiment tests, dedicate operators to track wafers manually, and wait for results. And the test lot may not even reproduce the problem. A technique called wafer randomization promises to change that, […]

Days before the Trump administration forced Anthropic to take its most powerful AI models offline globally, the White House ordered the company to revoke a single customer’s access: SK Telecom, South Korea’s largest telecommunications provider. The reason, according to administration officials, was the company’s alleged ties to China. The SK Telecom story is the missing […]

OpenAI has released LifeSciBench, a benchmark of 750 expert-authored tasks designed to measure whether AI models can actually perform real life-science research. The results show that even the best models pass barely more than a third of the tasks. The benchmark, announced on June 17 and developed by 173 PhD-level scientists, tests models across seven […]

On June 13, Z.ai, the Chinese AI company formerly known as Zhipu AI, released GLM-5.2, its latest flagship large language model. The model is available under the MIT open-source license with no regional restrictions, making it one of the most capable openly downloadable AI systems ever released. Early benchmark results show it matching or beating […]

Earlier this year, Silicon Valley CEOs competed to push AI usage as far as it would go. Giant token budgets became a status symbol. Developers were encouraged to run AI on everything. One anonymous CTO told researchers his engineer spent $40,000 on tokens in a single month, and he genuinely was not sure whether to […]

An alleged Russian-speaking cybercriminal group has compromised tens of thousands of Fortinet firewalls used by major companies worldwide in a credential-stuffing campaign that security researchers are calling “FortiBleed.” The operation, first discovered by security researcher Volodymyr “Bob” Diachenko, has affected approximately 74,000 unique Fortinet firewall devices across 194 countries, according to analysis by Hudson Rock […]

The White House has told Anthropic it must ensure its most capable AI model cannot be jailbroken before it is allowed back on the market. Security experts across the industry say that standard is technically unachievable for any frontier AI system. The standoff centers on Claude Fable 5, the model Anthropic launched on June 9 […]
