Google Researchers Taught AI to Stop Saying it was Conscious
Google researchers found that safety fine-tuning teaches models to deny minds not just to themselves but to animals, oceans and God. Amanda Askell has spent five years arguing this was the wrong approach. The paper is her best evidence yet.
Mythos Weakened a Post-Quantum Cipher for $100,000
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview halved a post-quantum signature scheme's security in 60 hours and improved a 25-year-old AES attack. Cost: $100,000 each. Are your Bitcoins safe? Let's see, shall we?
What AI Model Should I Use? The 2026 Guide to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok
Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 5 on July 24 and priced it at half of its own flagship. OpenAI put the full GPT-5.6 family into ChatGPT on July 9 after a government-gated preview. Google, meanwhile, shipped three cheap Flash models on July 21 and still has not shipped the flagship it promised in May. Three weeks of releases have produced one clear answer to the question everyone is typing into search bars: the best model for you is almost certainly not the most expensive one, and picking it now means choosing a tier and an effort level, not a brand.
Anthropic Measured Claude’s Values Across Models and Languages — On Models It No Longer Sells
The research is the most rigorous public attempt yet to quantify an AI model's character. It also studied three versions of Claude that are now legacy. Nobody has published a value profile for the models currently holding the keys.
What AI Model Should I Use? The 2026 Guide to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok
Claude Fable 5 is back. After an 18-day suspension under a US export-control order, Anthropic's most capable model returned globally on July 1 — in the same week it made the cheaper Claude Sonnet 5 its new default. That one-two punch is a good excuse to answer the question everyone's actually asking: what AI model should you use? In 2026, every lab now ships a full family of models instead of one flagship, and you can dial reasoning "effort" up or down on top of that — so the real answer isn't a brand, it's a system for choosing.
Anthropic Launches Claude Sonnet 5, Fable and Mythos Return Tomorrow
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on Tuesday, positioning the model as a budget-friendly alternative. The company said the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on it's top models Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 and it will begin restoring access tomorrow.
Anthropic Splits the AI Frontier in Two: What the Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Launch Means for Crypto, Markets, and Everyone Else
Anthropic released the most powerful AI model ever made available to the public on Tuesday. That sentence has been written before, about other models, and it will be written again, probably within weeks. What makes this release different — and worth the attention of anyone holding crypto assets, running a software business, or simply trying to keep up — is not the capability headline. It is the structure of the release itself.
