Trump walked back his national security declaration against Anthropic following a G7 meeting with Dario Amodei, while the AI industry surged with capital — Groq confirmed a $650M raise post-Nvidia deal, SpaceX locked a $150M/month compute contract with Reflection AI, and Google DeepMind bet $75M on Hollywood. ChatGPT also slipped below 50% market share for the first time.
The Trump administration’s export control order against Anthropic’s flagship models enters its second week, raising questions about who fills the vacuum. A newly disclosed ‘agentjacking’ attack exploiting Sentry’s error-tracking infrastructure threatens AI coding agents at 2,388 organizations. Meanwhile SpaceX’s $60B Cursor acquisition marks the largest VC startup deal ever.
The US government’s export-control directive forced Anthropic to suspend its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models globally, drawing an open letter from 76 security leaders and prompting G7 discussions on a trusted-partners framework. Meanwhile, AlphaFold Nobel laureate John Jumper announced he’s leaving Google DeepMind for Anthropic, the latest in a string of high-profile exits draining talent from Google’s AI crown jewel.
New analysis suggests the US government’s ban on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models is inadvertently elevating Anthropic’s profile while usage numbers hold steady. OpenAI is preparing to ship GPT-5.6 as early as next week with a 1.5M-token context window. And a detailed post-mortem of Amazon’s own AI coding agent triggering a 13-hour production outage lands as a week of major agentic tooling launches wraps up.
Transformer co-author Noam Shazeer leaves Google DeepMind for OpenAI in the day’s biggest talent move. Anthropic employees and 150+ cybersecurity experts push back against the Trump administration’s ban on Fable 5 and Mythos. Vercel, Adobe, and Anthropic ship major product updates across developer tools and creative software.
The Trump administration invoked export controls to shut down access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all foreign nationals, triggering a geopolitical flashpoint at the G7 and locking out Anthropic’s own employees. On the business side, SpaceX agreed to acquire AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion in stock — the largest AI acquisition yet — just days after SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO.
The Trump administration’s export-control order forced Anthropic offline with its most capable models, while a freshly IPO’d SpaceX stunned the industry by acquiring AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion. Elsewhere, ChatGPT’s market share fell below 50% for the first time, and Android 17 launched with deep Gemini integration.
The U.S. government imposed export controls on Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable 5 models after intelligence suggested a China-linked group had accessed them, forcing Anthropic to suspend access globally. Meanwhile, Beijing ordered Meta to unwind its $2B Manus acquisition, and the AI IPO wave surged on the back of SpaceX’s record-breaking $75B debut.
The Trump administration invoked national security powers to force Anthropic to cut all global access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after a reported jailbreak claim — halting service even for Anthropic’s own employees. In parallel, 42 state attorneys general opened a sweeping investigation into OpenAI, and Google sued a Chinese cybercrime ring that used AI to scam hundreds of thousands of people.
SpaceX raised $75 billion in the largest IPO in history, vaulting Elon Musk past the trillion-dollar mark. Anthropic reversed a secret policy of routing certain researcher requests to a lesser model after backlash, and Jeff Bezos’s Prometheus debuted with $12 billion in funding to build an ‘artificial general engineer’ for the physical world.
