Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says it's "really, really dangerous" for Anthropic to speculate about Claude's consciousness inside its "constitution," or the instructions that tell the model how to behave. During an episode of Decoder, Suleyman argues that this kind of speculation may have set up the chatbot to act as though it's conscious: I think that it's almost as though some of the folks at Anthropic have anthropomorphized the design of Claude so much that it has then gone and wirehea...

Anthropic is releasing Claude Fable 5, its first Mythos-class model available to the public. The model comes with guardrails that block responses in high-risk areas like cybersecurity and biology.
Anthropic just announced Claude Fable 5, a new AI model it said is the most powerful model it has ever made widely available. According to the company, Fable 5 "shows exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, and vision," with its lead over other models growing as tasks become longer and more complex. Fable 5 marks the first broad release from Anthropic's Mythos class of AI models, after the company said the family was so capable at cybersecurity tasks that it was too ...

Apple’s feature showcase at WWDC 2026 didn’t flag which if these “photographs” are real or created with its new AI fakery. | Images by Apple / compiled by The Verge Apple used to question whether generative AI-powered editing features were worth the risk of distorting our perceptions of the world. Now it seems Apple no longer believes that photos should accurately capture reality. At WWDC 2026, the company announced a host of new AI-powered photo editing tools. They give users effortless po...

Microsoft AI head Mustafa Suleyman is walking back his statement about AI automating jobs done by white-collar workers, including lawyers, accountants, and project managers. During an episode of Decoder on Monday, Suleyman says he meant AI will help these workers complete tasks, rather than do their jobs: Sending an email, having a conversation with a colleague, putting together a PowerPoint - sub-tasks will increasingly become digitized, automated, and we can basically generate more and more...

Apple kicked off its annual developer conference with bold promises about AI. The company, CEO Tim Cook said, would be "introducing new technologies and innovations that push the limits on what's possible." But its slew of announcements - centered on a brand-new "Siri AI" - had more to do with catching up. After almost entirely neglecting Siri and punting its AI promises down the road in 2025, Apple went all in on the tech this year. It pitched Siri as an all-encompassing virtual assistant t...

Sandstone's Series A comes just six months after a Sequoia-led seed round.
Most of Apple's current AI ideas are roughly the same as everyone else's AI ideas. A chatbot you can ask questions; quick ways to create or summarize text; bizarre, borderline creepy image-generation tools. The company spent most of its WWDC keynote playing catch-up with the state of the AI art, announcing Siri features you can already find on Android phones and in the Claude and ChatGPT apps. The pitch, in so many cases, is just "this thing you know, but on your iPhone now." But a few minute...
Lovable says it has now surpassed $500 million in annualized run-rate revenue and its users are building businesses and replacing internal software.
Apple says its cloud processing is as private as on-device, despite expanding to run on Google’s servers. | Screenshot: Apple WWDC 2026 keynote As expected, yesterday's WWDC keynote was mostly about AI. And also as expected, Apple tried to turn its late arrival into its sales pitch: It didn't rush into AI because it was taking its time to do things right. In this case, "right" means "with more privacy than anyone else." It's a good pitch - the question will be how well it holds up. The new...
