Today’s tech news captures an industry pushing AI outward while regulators and security teams scramble to keep pace. Anthropic has unveiled Claude Fable 5, bringing “Mythos-class” capability to paying users but with tighter guardrails around sensitive areas like cybersecurity and biology. That commercial maturation is echoed by Perplexity, whose CEO says the company is sticking to a 2028 IPO no matter when OpenAI or Anthropic debut on the public markets.

In Europe, the Commission has ordered Meta to give rival AI chatbots free access to WhatsApp, escalating a fight over platform power. And in a reminder of AI’s underlying infrastructure risks, Google rushed out a Chrome update to fix an actively exploited zero-day.
