Anthropic is releasing a public version of its Mythos AI model, Claude Fable 5, with restrictions on cybersecurity applications. The model, limited to 200 organizations including the US government under the Glasswing program, is designed to avoid tasks like identifying software vulnerabilities. It will be more expensive but use fewer tokens, reducing overall costs.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a 'Mythos-class' AI model with safeguards restricting cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and distillation queries to its Opus 4.8 model. The model exceeds previous Anthropic models in capabilities but is limited in access, with a 'trusted access program' planned for a version without full safeguards.

Microsoft is responding to Apple's $599 MacBook Neo (discounted to $499 for students) with a new 'Microsoft College Offer' bundling 12 months of free Microsoft 365 Premium and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with discounted Windows 11 PCs.
