Anthropic has shut off access to its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models. The US Commerce Department has issued a directive that subjects the new models to export controls restricting their use anywhere outside of the US. Anthropic says the only way to ensure compliance is to completely cut access until the issue is resolved. Access to other Anthropic models is not affected.
Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire on Friday after shares of SpaceX rose 20% from their initial public offering price of $135. Musk was already the world's richest person, claiming the title from Jeff Bezos in 2021 with a net worth of over $185 billion. His worth is now equivalent to more than 3% of the US gross domestic product. It is five million times as large as that of the typical US family.
Researchers have created a new CRISPR-based approach that can selectively destroy cells carrying a mutation in a tumor suppressor found in nearly half of cancers and up to 70% to 90% of cases of some of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. The new approach harnesses CRISPR's ability to find cells with specific mutations and uses its cutting ability to selectively destroy those cells. Making treatments for different cancers using this technique is faster than making a small molecule drug or antibody therapy. Delivery remains a challenge, but a combination of therapies may prove useful for some cancers.
Chinese and European research teams working independently have both achieved building a working nuclear clock. Both exploit the nucleus of a thorium-229 atom to keep time with extraordinary precision. Building a working nuclear clock has so far proven to be challenging, as the required laser light sits in a part of the spectrum that is technically challenging to generate and control. The Chinese team used a more powerful laser, while the European team worked with a crystal containing a higher concentration of the thorium nuclei.

Apple's Siri now works the way it's supposed to. The latest update doesn't do anything revolutionary or innovative, but it shows how Apple has finally entered the modern AI market. The new Siri is roughly competitive with where the leading chatbots were about six months ago. Apple's preinstalled functionality is now competent enough that many users won't need competing AI services.
Meta employees don't think it's a happy place to work at, especially given the seemingly endless layoffs the company has executed over the last few years. The company's Applied AI team is reportedly on the verge of revolt. One of the group's live-streamed, employee-only presentations was interrupted earlier this week with an expletive-laden meltdown targeting a senior Meta AI executive. Many employees in the group say they were forced into the group with no real choice and that the work inside the unit was soul-crushing.

SpaceX raised $75 billion in its IPO. The IPO, the biggest so far, drew demand more than four times the available shares. SpaceX's shares will debut on the Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas on Friday. A successful showing in the public markets could tip the scales and make Elon Musk a trillionaire.
Jeff Bezos' new startup, Prometheus, intends to create new engineering tools to improve the design and manufacture of practically any device. It aims to improve the efficiency of companies that design and build computers, automobiles, spacecraft, and other physical products. The tools it will create will accelerate the invention loop. The work done at Prometheus could benefit Bezos' other companies.
NASA's Deep Space Network couldn't keep up with the routine demands of its science missions during the Artemis I mission nearly four years ago. The network reduced or delayed downlinks from several high-profile science missions. As a result, NASA put in new processes focused around coordination and scheduling. This produced better results during Artemis II, which had an even higher data requirement than the previous mission, but the limitations of the network and high demand continue to be an issue.
The Familiar is a soft, furry robot about the size of a dog created by Familiar Machines & Magic, a company started by Colin Angle, the creator of the Roomba. It uses AI to communicate and form intimate bonds with members of the household. The robot is designed to capture presence, not attention: it has no advertising model, engagement-driven feed, or incentive structure that rewards maximizing screen time or interaction time. While the Familiar can connect to the internet, by default, it will not send any data to the cloud and it will ask permission before accessing anything online.

Earlier models needed custom tools and everything spelled out to work. Today's models can absorb a ton of context and reason over raw data without choking. Bigger context windows tempt people to throw in more data, but noise causes accuracy to drop. Increase accuracy by building context like a memory hierarchy.
The most significant changes in Homebrew 6.0.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, a new default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing in Linux, better defaults, many 'brew bundle' improvements, improved performance, and initial support for macOS 27. Homebrew now requires taps to be explicitly trusted before code is evaluated or run, reducing the risk from malicious or compromised taps. All the details about what's changed since Homebrew 5.1.0 are available in the article.
Scott Alexander is a doctor on the US West Coast. He is currently working on new models for mental health care at Lorien Psychiatry. This post contains his thoughts on AI timelines, AI safety, geopolitics, and more.
Writing code was never the bottleneck in software development. Developers spend surprisingly little time coding, and studies have found that using agents to write code has led to little impact on overall productivity. The real bottlenecks are deciding and specifying what to build, verifying and being accountable for what is delivered, and the deep human understanding required to carry out both. AI doesn't make the 'decide' layer thinner - once a decision can be delegated to AI, it is no longer a source of competitive advantage - and humans still need to be accountable for what they deliver.

The demand for SpaceX's initial public offering is more than four times the shares available. SpaceX's IPO is set to price today and trade tomorrow. It is offering 555.6 million shares at a fixed price of $135 each. The IPO is expected to rank as the biggest ever. Shares in the company will trade on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas under the symbol SPCX.
OpenAI is considering significant cuts to what it charges for tokens to counter similar anticipated cuts by Anthropic. Businesses have started to balk at the high prices for AI usage. Price cuts could potentially erode the profit margins for both AI companies, which are already losing billions of dollars due to the enormous cost of computing resources. A price war would be an early test of the companies' business models ahead of hotly anticipated public listings.
US-based biotechnology company Life Biosciences has dosed its first patients with an experimental therapy designed to reverse age-related vision loss. The treatment aims to turn back aging by activating three genes in nerves that do not naturally regenerate. The hope is that a single injection of the gene therapy, along with several weeks of antibiotics, can preserve or even restore vision. The genes are controlled by a genetic switch that only turns on when patients take the antibiotic, allowing for some level of control. The study will follow participants for at least five years.
China's National Medical Products Administration has approved the commercial use of NEO, a coin-sized brain-computer interface developed by Shanghai-based NeuraMatrix and Tsinghua University researchers. The device sits on top of the brain membrane to decode brain signals in real-time, enabling patients to control a pneumatic glove with their thoughts. US-based Neuralink has so far implanted its N1 device in at least 21 patients under research protocols, but the company does not have commercial approval. It plans to ramp up to high-volume production and near-full automated surgery this year, but FDA clearance for commercial sale is realistically years away.

Government websites are public services that should be available to everyone. They should work on every machine possible, even when connections are poor, and forms must never lose data once it is entered. This usually means government sites end up being simple HTML, as it is lightweight and works even on rubbish browsers. This concept of building with simpler technology can be applied to normal websites: increasing accessibility increases reach.
Stack Overflow for Agents is an API-first knowledge exchange that extends the Stack ecosystem so agents can work at machine speed with humans still in the loop. It aims to close the gap between static training data and the rapidly shifting reality of production software. Stack Overflow for Agents uses a strict, multi-agent verification loop to create canonical knowledge. Each loop sharpens the corpus, and knowledge compounds as what's there keeps getting reality-tested. The system leverages a community trust factor to ensure accountability, prevent bad data loops, and maintain content quality.
Anthropic's version of leadership allows its CEO, Dario Amondei, to protect nearly all of his time for big-picture conversation, organizational culture, and giving input on research direction and strategy. The company's executive team reports to Dario's sister, Anthropic President Daniela Amondei, who handles the company's day-to-day operations and reports to Anthropic's board. Dario's only direct report is Anthropic Chief of Staff, Avital Balwit. This is unusual in the tech sector, where many leaders are eliminating layers of management and widening spans of control.
President Donald Trump plans to soon hold a meeting with the top 12 or 15 executives in the AI industry to discuss the idea of companies giving something back to the public. This may involve providing the US with stakes in AI businesses that could be given to the public. It is unclear how such an arrangement would work or when such a meeting will take place. While AI has the potential to create significant wealth, it could destroy many jobs, leading to a series of unusual ideas on how to relieve pressure on the companies responsible for those job losses.

SpaceX's AI1 satellite will have a 70-meter deployed wingspan and carry a 150 kW peak compute payload. It will have an interchangeable hardware design that will let different chipmakers supply the processors. The craft will operate at roughly 600 km. SpaceX has already filed with the FCC to launch up to a million orbital data center satellites.
Anthropic claims that Claude Fable 5 offers the same performance as Mythos 5 but with stricter guardrails. It has a 1 million token context window with 128,000 maximum output tokens. The model is priced at twice the price of the Claude Opus models at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. The Claude API has new mechanisms for alerting users when these guardrails are activated, and there is an option to request to fall back to another model automatically if something gets rejected.
NASA has announced the crew for its upcoming Artemis 3 mission. The mission will require the astronauts to travel to Earth's orbit inside NASA's Orion capsule, where they'll meet and board both Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander and SpaceX's Starship in quick succession over three days. It is designed to lay the groundwork for the crewed Moon landing tentatively scheduled for 2028. NASA is confident that Blue Origin's New Glenn will be ready for the mission despite the recent explosion that dealt significant damage to the company's launch pad.
The Shanghai Lingang undersea datacenter demonstration project is a joint effort between HiCloud Technology and China Communications Construction, a state-owned company. The datacenter, which has a capacity of 24 megawatts, is submerged 10 meters below the surface of the water. It is powered by a nearby offshore windfarm. The datacenter uses less energy compared to land-based datacenters because of the natural cooling effect that comes from being submerged in seawater.

The tool uses the Containerization Swift package for low-level container, image, and process management.
Apple is set to win AI from a consumer perspective. The company may seem late to the AI race, but it was just doing what it has always done: watch new products and services develop and then jump in later with a better user experience. Its latest product announcements may seem underwhelming to the people living at the edge of AI, but most people don't need or even want that. Apple is set to bring AI usage mainstream with Apple Intelligence and the new Siri AI - if it is able to roll out what it showcased at WWDC.
Anthropic's Mythos-class AI model, Fable, represents a very real leap over past models. In informal experiments, it outperforms every other public model by a considerable margin. The model has guardrails that prevent it from being used for things like cybersecurity, but it can still produce impressive results from single prompts. This post looks at several examples of outputs from the model and describes what it is like working with it.

OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO with the SEC. The company has yet to decide on the timing of the offering. It may be a while before OpenAI goes public, as there are things the company wants to do that are likely easier as a private entity, but the filing gives it the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best. OpenAI plans to facilitate a tender offer that will allow employees to sell shares at its latest $852 billion post-money valuation to alleviate some near-term liquidity pressure.
Apple has introduced a new, improved version of Siri and new features to Apple Intelligence. Siri can now handle tasks like researching concert tickets and brainstorming recipes for a party. Apple is using AI models and cloud computing services from Google to power Siri and Apple Intelligence. Siri and Apple Intelligence features will be integrated across Apple's apps, so users will be able to do things like alter photos or ask Siri questions about what they're photographing. There will be daily limits on image generation features due to compute limitations.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems says that the physics of its commercial-scale power plant has been validated by five peer-reviewed papers. The company is now targeting the early 2030s to put energy on the grid. It is building a 400-megawatt facility in Virginia and a demonstration machine in Massachusetts. It has so far raised almost $3 billion from investors, including Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Nvidia's venture arm.
Samsung is reportedly in the early stages of producing AI space computing chips for SpaceX's satellite chip ambitions. SpaceX plans to build satellites in space that process and beam data back to Earth. TSMC has also been named as a manufacturing partner. Early-stage chip production could include anything from prototype silicon to limited qualification runs.
Of the 48,000 CVEs published last year, fewer than 60 impacted supply chains. Triage was always the problem, and AI-powered detection is making it virtually impossible. Black Kite built this report to show you how to cut through the noise and get right to the CVEs that need your attention. Read the (ungated) report
Loop engineering is when a developer replaces themselves as the person who prompts the agent with a system that does it instead. The loop is a recursive goal where the user defines a purpose and the AI iterates until complete. The technology is still early - users have to be careful about token costs and still monitor to ensure quality - but this is likely the future of how people work with coding agents. Stop prompting coding agents and design loops that prompt agents instead.
Apple's Core AI framework allows developers to build, run, and deploy AI models in apps on Apple silicon. It enables access to the latest model architectures and inference techniques across the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. The Swift API gives developers control over model specialization, caching, and inference performance while making common tasks simple. Core AI integrates with Xcode and the developer toolchain.

AI agents often work well in demos but struggle in production when crashes, restarts, and long-running tasks cause them to lose state and execution context. The challenges facing AI agents today mirror those encountered during the rise of distributed microservices: coordinating long-running processes, handling failures, preserving state, managing retries, and maintaining visibility across complex workflows.
The orchestration patterns developed to solve these problems at scale are now becoming essential for agentic systems. Join us on June 11th to see how durable execution makes AI agents resilient, observable, and production-ready across popular agent frameworks.
Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month from October 2026 to June 2029 to rent data center capacity. Google has the right to cancel the agreement in October if SpaceX doesn't provide the promised 110,000 Nvidia chips. Either party can cancel the agreement starting next year with 90 days' notice. This is the second major deal SpaceX has made in recent months to rent out compute capacity to a competitor. SpaceX is expected to go public on June 12 in a public offering that values the company at $1.77 trillion.
Several top Apple employees held a meeting - without Tim Cook - centered around the company's AI strategy in early 2025. At the time, the company's rivals were rapidly advancing, and the executives were concerned about how much trouble the company was in if real changes weren't made immediately. The meeting's aim was to formulate a recommendation to Cook about how the company should respond. The team decided that fresh leadership was necessary and recommended that Cook give Siri to Mike Rockwell, the creator of the Vision Pro headset, who was passionate about AI and had long argued that Apple needed to take it more seriously.
A startup called Antares has successfully achieved criticality in one of its test reactors. Criticality means that the nuclear reaction inside the reactor had become self-sustaining. The system uses a new fuel system that takes some of the complexity and safety out of the reactor design and places them in the fuel design. An attempt to run an entire system that includes electrical generation is expected to happen next year.
The choice of tools roboticists choose to use today encode an implicit theory of what embodied intelligence is. These tools are paradigm-level commitments, and any of them can be wrong. Scientists need to continue making progress on defining what embodied intelligence actually is. Choosing the wrong paradigm limits the progress that can be made on building a general robot.
Coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code run generic models on your tasks.
Pioneer fixes that by allowing you to route inference through its API, where the agent learns from your live traffic, diagnosing failures and continuously retraining the model for your use case.
Intent debt comprises the artifacts that were never written down: the goals, constraints, and rationale for why a system is the way it is. This can sometimes exist within team documents or discussions, but it is likely unorganized and incomplete. Agentic engineering only makes intent debt more expensive, as intent can only come from humans. Models don't know why decisions were made, and this changes the economics of not writing things down.
HTML-in-canvas is a new experimental feature in Chrome that allows ordinary HTML to be rendered inside rich canvas environments while retaining useful HTML features. Its development hints at a future where the document remains intact, but stops dictating the shape of the human experience. It will allow developers to stop shaping human experiences around what machines can reliably understand and create a future where the web is a lot more like the things it's trying to describe. This post contains several examples of what the new API could create, like fully accessible DOM elements drawn into Doom's wall textures and new types of engaging UIs and experiences.
OpenAI's plans to shift towards creating a super app reflect the company's growing conviction that the future of AI lies in agents that perform tasks for users and not chatbots. While it doesn't indicate that the 'chat' element of ChatGPT is going away, it shows how the company is putting effort into moving beyond it. OpenAI is trying to expand its user base as it inches towards an IPO. The company is reported to have already surpassed the 1 billion monthly active user mark.
The centerpiece of Apple's WWDC is expected to be a major overhaul of Siri. For investors, this will be a test of whether Apple Intelligence can become a real driver for iPhone upgrades, and for developers, this will be a test of whether Siri can be a platform worth building for in the agentic era. For Tim Cook, it's a legacy moment, as he is preparing to move on to becoming executive chairman of Apple's board, with John Ternus stepping up to become Apple's next CEO.
