AMD will sell tens of billions in AI servers to Anthropic and invest up to $5 billion, strengthening its position against Nvidia. The deal includes AMD's Instinct MI450 chips, with Anthropic using them for computing capacity and potential cloud leases.

The Trump administration partially rescinded its export ban on Anthropic’s Mythos 5 AI model, allowing access to over 100 companies and agencies, while its Fable 5 model remains blocked. The decision follows concerns about potential cyberattack risks, with ongoing discussions to establish a standardized framework for evaluating security risks in AI models.

Anthropic's Mythos 5 has resumed operations for select organizations after a two-week negotiation with the Trump administration, while the public-facing Fable 5 remains delayed. A government letter dated June 26th confirmed the revised license terms for Mythos 5 but provided no timeline for Fable 5's approval.

The US government has lifted its block on Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 AI model, allowing its release to over 100 US institutions, including companies and government agencies. The decision de-escalates tensions between the Trump Administration and Anthropic, which had previously imposed export controls on the model due to security concerns.

The White House and Anthropic are collaborating on a framework to assess AI security flaws, particularly for Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, which face export controls due to a perceived jailbreak vulnerability. The effort aims to establish benchmarks for evaluating security risks in AI models, reflecting ongoing negotiations to address disagreements over the severity of the flaw.

Trump administration officials met with Anthropic to discuss a federal export ban on its AI model Fable, which the company argues was a minor cybersecurity issue. Anthropic presented its safeguards in hopes of resolving the restrictions, which mark the first time the White House forced a company to remove a model from public access.

Anthropic is paying SpaceX $1.25 billion per month ($15 billion annually) through May 2029 for massive compute capacity, with the deal details revealed in SpaceX's IPO filing. The partnership spans SpaceX's Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 facilities and represents a significant financial boost to SpaceX while addressing Anthropic's compute power constraints.
