Perplexity Co-Founder: AI Safety Is an Excuse to Lock Down Frontier

Perplexity AI and Databricks co-founder Andy Konwinski thinks the AI safety conversation has a problem: It's being used to concentrate power, not prevent harm. Earlier this week, he published an essay making his case, with Anthropic as the star witness. The case he builds starts with a decision Anthropic reversed in 48 hours. When Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 on June 9, a paragraph buried in its 319-page system card disclosed that the model would silently degrade its own responses for anyon...

Zcash Ironwood Upgrade Nears as Developers Work to Restore Confidence After ZEC Crash

In a series of posts on the Zcash forum on Thursday, developers said the privacy-focused cryptocurrency's Ironwood upgrade is moving closer to activation—first on a testnet—bringing the network a step nearer to allowing users to verify the integrity of its circulating supply following last month's disclosure of a critical counterfeiting vulnerability. Announced in June, Ironwood is a proposed Zcash network upgrade that introduces a new shielded pool and accounting system designed to let anyone v...

AI Researchers Got Chatbots to Share Cocaine Recipes Using This One Wild Trick

Forget clever prompts: AI researchers say they tricked leading AI models into generating cocaine synthesis instructions by convincing them the dangerous ideas were their own, while also manipulating an AI coding agent into leaking sensitive credentials. In the paper “Prompt Injection as Role Confusion,” presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning in June, researchers Charles Ye, Jasmine Cui, and Dylan Hadfield-Menell argue that both prompt injection attack demonstrations stem...

Venice AI Valued at $1 Billion as Erik Voorhees Makes the Case for Private ChatGPT Rivals

Venice AI has raised $65 million in its first outside funding round at a $1 billion valuation, founder Erik Voorhees announced Wednesday. In a post on X, Voorhees—a cryptocurrency industry veteran who is best known as the founder of the ShapeShift exchange—said the funding validates Venice's mission to build a private, uncensored alternative to mainstream AI like ChatGPT. “This aversion to ubiquitous centralized surveillance and control is our philosophical foundation, and upon it Venice is gro...

LongCat-2.0: The Stealth AI Model That Was Quietly Topping OpenRouter All Along

Chinese tech company Meituan officially unveiled LongCat-2.0 on June 30, confirming the open-license, 1.6-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts AI model is the same system that spent two months running anonymously on OpenRouter under the alias Owl Alpha. Parameters are the total number of dials a model can handle during training. The model activates roughly 48 billion of its parameters per token (the smallest unit of data an AI model processes), with that figure swinging between 33 billion and 5...

UN's First AI Safety Panel Says Scientists Can't Rule Out 'Catastrophic Harm'

The United Nations published an independent scientific assessment of artificial intelligence on Wednesday, and the conclusion is blunt: nobody can currently guarantee the technology won't cause catastrophic harm. The finding comes from the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, a body of 40 scientists selected from more than 2,600 candidates across 140 countries, in a preliminary report the panel calls the first global, independent scientific read on AI's risks a...

Anthropic Bringing Claude Fable 5 Back Online as US Lifts Export Controls

Claude Fable 5 is coming back. Anthropic said the model will return to users globally on Wednesday across Claude.ai, the Claude Platform, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, after the U.S. Commerce Department lifted the export controls that had forced it offline since June 12. Mythos 5, the more capable sibling model built on the same underlying system, will remain limited to vetted partners. “On Friday, June 12, the U.S. government applied export controls to our newest models, Claude Fable 5 and C...

Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 Closes In on Opus 4.8 at a Fraction of the Price

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on Tuesday, calling it "the most agentic Sonnet model yet." It's the default model for Free and Pro users, live on Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, in Claude Code, and through the API . Unlike past Sonnet launches, this one is built to sit next to the previous Opus instead of trailing a tier behind it. In its launch post, the company says Sonnet 5's performance is "close to that of Opus 4.8, but at lower prices." Developers can slide an effort dial between the...

China Has Its Own Mythos Now, Says Qihoo 360 Founder. And One Version Is Free

The U.S. restricted Anthropic’s cybersecurity AI model Claude Mythos behind export controls and a vetted coalition. China held a conference and announced it already has something like it—then a separate company uploaded a near-equivalent to the internet for free. Qihoo 360 founder Zhou Hongyi took the stage at ISC.AI 2026 in Beijing on June 24 and delivered a direct message: "China's cybersecurity industry must have its own Mythos." He unveiled Tulong Feng—an AI vulnerability agent 360 is callin...

Meta Unveils New Tech That Uses AI to Translate Brain Activity Into Text—Without Surgery

Meta on Monday introduced Brain2Qwerty v2, an AI system that translates brain activity into text using non-invasive brain recordings. The company said the research is intended to help people who have lost the ability to communicate because of brain lesions. The system records brain activity using a helmet-like magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner, a non-invasive brain imaging device commonly used in neuroscience research. It then feeds those raw neural signals into an end-to-end AI model that r...

The Future Cyberpunk Imagined Is Here: How Much Did It Get Right?

For decades, the sci-fi subgenre known as cyberpunk imagined a future of chrome-plated mercenaries, cyberspace cowboys, and hackers battling globe-spanning corporations. Four decades later, much of that future has arrived—just not in the way its creators expected. Brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, AI-powered smart glasses, and increasingly sophisticated robotic prosthetics have begun bringing science fiction's chrome-plated future into the real world. At the same time, a handful of techn...
