Anthropic cuts off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 access following government order

On Friday evening, the government ordered Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nations, both inside and outside the US, due to national security concerns. That order included employees of Anthropic. To meet those demands, the company has completely cut off access to the models for all customers. In a statement, Anthropic said that while it was complying with the order, the government did not provide specific details of its national security concern, and any evidence of potential jailbreak was provided verbally, with minor vulnerabilities also available via other models.

Thoughts on AI and Jobs

This article reflects on the impact of AI on employment. The author sympathizes with those who fear losing their livelihoods but questions the notion that jobs are sacred. He argues that much of work is repetitive and that AI, even in its current form, can already handle such tasks. While not believing in AGI, he suggests that AI's current capabilities are sufficient to transform the nature of work, and that this could be a positive development.

Microsoft's SkillOpt boosts GPT-5.5 by using nothing but a trained Markdown file

Microsoft and three Chinese universities have developed SkillOpt, a method that optimizes instruction documents for AI agents using principles from traditional model training. A simple Markdown file is enough to boost GPT-5.5 by about 23 points on procedural tasks, and the same file transfers across models and agent environments like Codex and Claude Code.

The future of Hollywood isn’t feeding prompts into vanilla gen AI models

Generative AI's promise to revolutionize filmmaking remains unfulfilled, as most output is inconsistent and short-form. Tribeca Film Festival showcases experimental projects where custom-built AI models, like Google DeepMind's for 'Dear Upstairs Neighbors,' assist artists rather than replace them. The film combined traditional animation with bespoke AI, highlighting that compelling AI-assisted cinema requires human creativity and specialized tools, not generic prompts.
