Anthropic has disabled access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models. The action was taken to comply with a U.S. government export control directive that cited national security authorities.

Chinese AI company Zhipu has introduced the GLM 5.2 model. The release underscores a shift in the AI landscape toward maximizing intelligence per dollar rather than chasing absolute capability.
