Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5 for general use and Claude Mythos 5 for vetted high-risk research partners. They share the same underlying Mythos-class model, but differ in safeguards, access and risk handling.
Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.8 with stronger coding and agentic workflow claims, unchanged standard API pricing, cheaper fast mode and new controls for how much effort Claude applies to a task.
Claude Mythos Preview is Anthropic's restricted frontier model for AI-assisted cybersecurity. This explainer breaks down what it is, how Project Glasswing works, what the reported data shows and why the bottleneck is shifting from finding vulnerabilities to fixing them.
Anthropic says Project Glasswing and Claude Mythos Preview have surfaced more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities across critical software. The signal is serious, but the bottleneck is shifting from finding bugs to validating, disclosing and patching them safely.
OpenAI's ChatGPT personal finance experience is a U.S. Pro preview that connects financial accounts through Plaid, creates a money dashboard and lets users ask ChatGPT questions grounded in their own financial context. The useful part is personalised insight. The hard part is trust, privacy and knowing where AI stops short of professional advice.
Andrej Karpathy says he has joined Anthropic, giving the Claude maker one of the field's best-known AI researchers at a moment when frontier labs are fighting for pre-training talent, research judgement and ways to make model development more efficient.
Google Gemini Omni is a new multimodal model family that starts with video: it can take text, images, audio and video as input, then create or edit video through natural language. The first release, Gemini Omni Flash, is rolling out through Gemini, Google Flow and YouTube Shorts, with API access planned later.
DeepSeek is reportedly hiring a Beijing-based Code Harness team, pointing to a possible Claude Code and Codex rival. The product has not launched, and key details remain unconfirmed.
Google used I/O 2026 to push Gemini beyond a chatbot and into a cross-product agent layer, led by Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini Omni Flash, Gemini Spark, Antigravity and Gemini-powered product launches.
OpenAI has brought Codex remote access to the ChatGPT mobile app in preview, giving users a mobile way to start threads, approve actions, review outputs, and supervise coding-agent work from iOS and Android while execution continues on the connected host.
