An essay written by Microsoft Principal Scientist Adrian de Wynter is going viral this week as it attempts to prove Age of Empires II is just as human-like as AI. It's just as wild a premise as it sounds, and I break down what it means for those who use (and research) AI.
For the last 30 years, stopping the flow of cybersecurity-related software has proven to be ineffective. It's unclear why it would work now with Anthropicβs cybersecurity model Mythos.
Elon Musk estimated that Chinese AI firms would have an LLM with Mythos level capability by the first quarter of 2027. However, the CEO of Beijing-based Z.ai responded to the comment, saying that their company will achieve this soon, but did not give a concrete timeline.
Wired has identified SK Telecom as the South Korean telecom company whose access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos model the White House ordered revoked over alleged ties to China.
Following the Trump administration's block on Anthropic's Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models, world leaders have raised concerns that without direct access to frontier models, they may need to develop their own national alternatives.
Oregon State University researchers have developed a brain-inspired phototransistor that combines light sensing, memory, and signal processing in one device. The hardware can electronically control how long optical memories persist or fade, potentially improving energy efficiency in future AI vision systems.
Marvell shares its vision for optically connected data centers, connecting devices across hundreds of kilometers, and the company already has hardware to build them.
State attorneys general have opened a broad investigation into OpenAI, subpoenaing documents on ads, user retention, data handling, minors, health data, model behavior, and safety policies.
This week, we track how SEAβs beauty commerce players arenβt messing around and how layoffs have become a pretty regular feature of the tech world.
A research firm says the number of blocked data centers in the first quarter of 2026 already matches the number of projects stopped in 2025. The opposition also comes from both sides of the aisle, despite President Trump's push for more AI development inside the U.S.
Companies look for cheaper alternatives as token costs for frontier AI models skyrocket, potentially impacting OpenAI and Anthropic's bottom lines. Subscriptions also take a bite out of these startup's profitability, as utilization rates higher than 5.7% could lead to losses.
OpenAI says it has banned two clusters of ChatGPT accounts it believes are operating from China, and that used its models for covert influence campaigns targeting U.S. tech and policy debates.
After first announcing its scarily capable Mythos Preview model back in April, Anthropic is releasing a public version of Mythos, called Fable 5, that it says is "safe for general use."
The company that just a few weeks ago told us that its Mythos model was much too powerful to be released is now saying that we might need to hit the pause button.
A growing number of CEOs expect AI-driven layoffs, but economic data paints a more complex picture as companies cut junior roles before proving AI delivers meaningful productivity gains.
Google's $920-million-a-month deal with SpaceX will let it secure 110,000 Nvidia GPUs starting October 2026. This is the second data center deal that SpaceX has secured in a matter of weeks, especially as it's quickly approaching its IPO on June 12, 2026.
A research group that includes Huawei Technologies says it completed full-parameter post-training of DeepSeek's V4-Pro, a 1.6-trillion-parameter model.
Two Seattle city council committees have passed a one-year moratorium and a resolution on data centers. The measures are still up for a vote in the full council, but many consider that simply as a formality.
A coalition of nine U.S. trade associations has urged the Trump administration to address an AI-driven memory chip shortage, warning that soaring DRAM prices and constrained supply could raise costs for consumer electronics, automobiles, medical devices, and broadband infrastructure while disrupting supply chains through at least 2027.
Meta is reportedly building more tents that house expensive data centers across the U.S., as it reportedly cuts construction time from two to three years to just a few months. It's also bringing its own power instead of relying on electricity from the grid.
The rapid increase in agentic internet traffic means βbots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history,β remarked CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince.
AMDβs Helios set to compete against Nvidiaβs NVL72 VR200 rack-scale system later this year, but its UALink-over-Ethernet interconnection may affect performance in certain workloads before real UALink interconnects are deployed.
OpenAI's clients are complaining about out-of-control AI spending, and they're asking Sam Altman to make it more efficient so they don't blow their annual AI budgets in just one quarter.
Microsoft has unveiled Project Solara, an Android-based chip-to-cloud platform for AI-first enterprise devices. The system combines Qualcomm and MediaTek hardware, Azure-hosted agents, and adaptive interfaces, with reference designs including a wearable AI badge and a desktop AI hub.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that asks AI companies to give the federal government early access to their most capable models.
