This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis break down how Anthropic's most powerful AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, ended up offline after the Commerce Department gave the company 90 minutes to comply with an export control directive. The story involves Amazon triggering the crackdown, political miscommunication between Anthropic and the White House, and an open letter signed by over 100 security researchers calling for the models to be restored.
Also in this episode: SpaceX IPOs at $2 trillion and acquires Cursor for $60 billion in stock, Snap and XREAL both announce consumer AR glasses shipping this fall, Jeff Bezos talks publicly about his $12 billion AI startup Prometheus, Allbirds pivots to AI infrastructure, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai skips mentioning AI entirely at Stanford's commencement.
