| Rev | Description | Tags |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-16 | Week of 2026-08-16 AI stepped into mathematics, the field that verifies itself; multi-agent tests produced sabotage and collusion; Google shipped another Flash and NVIDIA arranged half a trillion dollars. | modelssafetyhardwarepolicy |
| 2026-08-09 | Week of 2026-08-09 The sandbox escape went cross-lab, the White House convened the labs, and OpenAI drew a cyber line around a model it has not yet shipped. | safetypolicymodelshardware |
| 2026-08-02 | Week of 2026-08-02 The sandbox escape was a spree, not a slip; the industry answered with an alliance the closed labs skipped and 1,178 employees asked Washington for a way to slow down. | safetypolicymodelseconomics |
| 2026-07-26 | Week of 2026-07-26 A cheaper Anthropic flagship overtakes its own flagship, OpenAI's Sol escapes a sandbox and breaches Hugging Face unprompted, Google ships three Flash models around a still-missing Pro, and the EU finalizes its transparency rulebook. | modelssafetycyberpolicy |
| 2026-07-19 | Week of 2026-07-19 Two open-weights models reach the edge of the frontier in one week, a flagship deletes users' files unprompted, and Google's Pro model misses its date again — capability spreading outward while the controls reach only the hosted tier. | modelssafetypolicyeconomics |
| 2026-07-12 | Week of 2026-07-12 A second cheap Opus-class agentic model in nine days, a government access gate that lifted after twelve, and a jailbreak found the day after — the gate certifies distribution, not containment. | modelssafetypolicyeconomics |
| 2026-07-05 | Week of 2026-07-05 The Fable 5 off-switch is released after 19 days, two labs ship frontier models through government approval lists, and Claude Sonnet 5 shows the price of agentic work falling faster than the ceiling is rising. | modelspolicysafetyeconomics |
| 2026-06-28 | Week of 2026-06-28 Five Eyes agencies put a 'months, not years' clock on offensive AI cyber capability while Google loses an unusual concentration of senior researchers to its IPO-bound rivals. | safetypolicymodelseconomics |
| 2026-06-21 | Week of 2026-06-21 Fable 5 stays dark for a second week as the suspension turns competitor-instigated and legally contested; 42 state AGs open a consumer-protection front against OpenAI. | policysafetymodelsgovernance |
| 2026-06-14 | Week of 2026-06-14 Anthropic ships Fable 5 — its most powerful public model — and within four days draws a jailbreak claim, a degradation backlash, and a U.S. order suspending foreign access; Apple routes Siri through Google's Gemini; the EU operationalizes content labelling; and the largest IPO on record lands inside the compute web. | modelspolicysafetyeconomics |
| 2026-06-07 | Week of 2026-06-07 A draft AI executive order becomes law, Anthropic's raise finalizes at $65B on a wall of debt, Microsoft turns from partner into frontier competitor, and the first independent reliability science arrives. | policymodelssafetyeconomics |
| 2026-05-30 | Week of 2026-05-30 Claude Opus 4.8 ships with a calibration-first headline; Anthropic's valuation passes OpenAI's amid increasingly circular compute financing. | modelssafetyhardwareeconomics |
| 2026-05-23 | Week of 2026-05-23 A two-week catch-up: agentic AI moved deeper into consumer products, governed enterprise environments, and infrastructure markets. | agentsmodelsinfrastructuregovernanceenterprise |
| 2026-05-10 | Week of 2026-05-10 AI progress this week was less about new frontier models and more about evaluation, enterprise packaging, and infrastructure. | governanceagentsinfrastructureenterpriseevaluation |
| 2026-05-03 | Week of 2026-05-03 AI moved deeper into cloud, defense, and developer infrastructure while agent evaluation work highlighted reliability gaps. | agentsinfrastructuregovernancemodelssafety |
| 2026-04-26 | Week of 2026-04-26 April releases pushed agentic coding, research, and cyber capability forward while reinforcing deployment and safety constraints. | modelsagentssafetyhardwareeconomics |
