These are the daily tech headlines for the week ending Saturday, June 27, 2026. I'm Sarah Lane. Let's catch up on the news. Anthropic is getting a partial green light from the US government after blocking the company's powerful Claude Mythos 5 model two weeks ago over security concerns. The Commerce Department has now approved access for more than 100 trusted US companies and government agencies, saying that Anthropic agreed to work with the government on AI safety standards. Fable 5 is still restricted for now, but SEMAPHORE sources say it's also expected to be released. Axio sources say that could come as soon as this week. OpenAI is rolling out GPT 5.6, but only to a small group of trusted partners after a yes, you guessed it US Government request. The new lineup includes Sol, Terra and Luna, with sol pitched as OpenAI's most powerful model yet, especially for coding biology and cyber security. But OpenAI says this kind of government gatekeeping should not become the default. What is clear is that Washington is starting to shape who gets access to frontier AI models. Those complying with the rules also warn too many delays hurts developers, Cyber Defenders and US competitiveness. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman Sources say that Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro will arrive between late 2026 and early 2027, using existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips instead of new silicon. The redesigned 14 and 16 inch laptops are also expected to add OLED displays, dynamic islands and the first major MacBook Pro redesign since 2021, with Apple reportedly planning AI focused M7 powered follow up models. In a post on Truth Social, the US president threatened to impose 100% tariffs on countries that adopt digital services taxes targeting US tech companies like Apple, Google and Amazon. Those taxes are designed to collect more revenue from large tech firms that generate significant business overseas. The president argues they unfairly single out American companies. He has made similar threats before, but it's unclear whether the president has the legal authority to follow through after the Supreme Court limited his tariff powers earlier this year. The Common House foundation has launched the Open Source Sustainability Initiative to to help companies secure and maintain open source software after projects reach end of life when developers stop issuing updates, but organizations keep using that code. This effort comes as reported software vulnerabilities continue to rise, AI speeds up the discovery of new flaws and regulations like pci, DSS and DORA are putting more pressure on organizations to identify and replace unsupported software before it becomes a security risk. Citing three unnamed employees, the New York Times reports Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told teams to explore partnerships with prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi as the company develops its own app called Arena. Now arena would initially use game like points instead of real money betting, but Meta reportedly hopes to attract 100 million monthly users and eventually weave prediction markets into Facebook and Messenger. But there are said to be ethical concerns inside the company and much more likely regulatory scrutiny. California launched a public dashboard that tracks AI related job losses using unemployment claims and labor market data, with monthly updates meant to give policymakers an early warning about where AI may be displacing workers. The tool is part of the governor's broader push to prepare for AI's impact on employment, though broader economic factors can also drive these kinds of trends. The Financial Times reports that Binance will suspend services across the European Union on July 1 after withdrawing its application for a block wide crypto license in Greece, leaving it unable to meet the EU's new markets in crypto assets deadline. Binance tells CNBC that we will take the necessary steps to remain compliant with applicable requirements. Users in France, Italy, Spain and Poland have already been notified of service changes. The New York Times sources say Russian attackers were behind last year's cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover, which shut down production for months and is estimated to have cost the UK economy 2.5 billion. The report says Microsoft helped identify the attackers alongside US And UK authorities and cybersecurity firms. Investigators also found that an unrelated Jordanian attacker had separately breached some of the company's networks.
