AI Weekly Briefing: The Government Switched Off Anthropic’s New Models

A week defined by one question: can you actually depend on these tools? Anthropic launched its most powerful models yet, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, and within three days a US government export-control order forced it to switch them off for everyone. Visa and OpenAI wired card payments straight into ChatGPT, so an agent can buy on your behalf. Google agreed to pay SpaceX about $920 million a month for computing power, the bubble question in a single deal. Microsoft's Copilot fell over four times in a month with no financially backed SLA, and then hit a critical security issue. Dario Amodei admitted AI will displace jobs and put 350 million dollars behind it. And a British MP took Grok to the High Court over deepfakes.
