    Anthropic vs the Pentagon: the trial redefining what an AI has the right to refuse

    Anthropic refused to let Claude be used for fully autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. The Pentagon responded by designating it as a risk to the national supply chain, a classification previously reserved for foreign adversaries. Emails recently unsealed by the courts shed light on what this conflict really reveals.

    Teaching an AI to be "good": the hardest problem in the entire industry

    Every AI model card system talks about alignment, undesirable behaviours, deception rates. Behind this technical vocabulary lies one of the deepest problems posed by modern AI: how to ensure that a system we only partially understand actually does what we want.

    An AI gave three different answers to the same scientific question. The problem wasn't the AI

    An Anthropic study found that an AI model could give 106, then 15, then 5 different answers to the same scientific question. The cause was not a lack of intelligence on the model's part, but a data infrastructure never designed for AI agents. One adjustment brought accuracy back up from 16.9% to 92.8%.

    What is an "AI agent"? The word everyone uses without really explaining it

    The word "agent" is everywhere in AI news in 2026, but rarely explained. We break down what sets an agent apart from a simple chatbot, how it works in a loop, and why this capability changes the way we should trust it.

    When AI bosses write to Congress to warn about their own creation

    On 4 June 2026, the leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind and Microsoft AI co-signed a letter to the US Congress. Their warning: AI now outperforms PhD-level virologists, eroding the knowledge barriers that once made biological weapons inaccessible. We break down this rare call and what it implies.

    Fable 5 is back: what the most scrutinised AI of the year went through in 18 days

    After 18 days of total suspension ordered by the US government, Claude Fable 5 becomes accessible worldwide again from 1 July 2026. A full recap of this case, which marked a turning point in how the state regulates the most advanced AI models.

    Claude Sonnet 5: Anthropic sells (almost) Opus-level power at a standard model price

    Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 5 on 30 June 2026, the default model for Free and Pro. It comes close to Opus 4.8 on agentic tasks while costing 60% less during the launch period. We break down the figures, the strategy, and what to expect from it day to day.

    For the first time, ChatGPT accounts for less than half of the AI market

    According to Sensor Tower's 2026 report, ChatGPT's market share has fallen below 50% for the first time. We break down the numbers: Gemini's rise, Claude's record conversion rate, and what it reveals about users who now choose their AI rather than having it imposed on them.

    Agentjacking: the flaw that turns your code assistant against you

    An attack dubbed Agentjacking, disclosed in June 2026, traps AI coding agents by injecting fake instructions into error reports. 85% success rate, 2,388 organisations affected. We explain how it works and how to protect against it.

    Stealing an AI without hacking anyone: the Alibaba case shaking up the AI world

    Anthropic claims Alibaba used 25,000 fake accounts to query Claude nearly 29 million times and train its own Qwen model on the responses. Here's what distillation is, why it's nearly impossible to prevent, and why not everyone is convinced by the accusation.

    GLM-5.2 versus Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5: China opens the floodgates while the West shuts its own

    On 13 June 2026, Zhipu AI released GLM-5.2 under the MIT licence, the day after Washington cut off Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We break down what this open model is worth against Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5, and what it changes for the general public and for businesses alike.

    When the State pulls the plug on an AI: the US government forces Anthropic to cut off its most powerful models

    On 12 June 2026, the US government forced Anthropic to switch off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all its users, citing export controls. It is the first time a consumer AI has been taken offline on state orders. We explain what happened, and why it goes far beyond Anthropic.

    $500 million in 30 days: the company that discovered the true price of open-access AI

    The story sounds absurd: a company that spends half a billion dollars on AI in 30 days, by accident. But when you look closely at what is happening in large companies in 2026, it is no longer a one-off. It is the wake-up call of a usage bubble that has just hit the wall of economic reality. Microsoft, Uber, Amazon: everyone is affected.

    Claude Opus 4.8: Anthropic accelerates, overtakes OpenAI in value and lays the groundwork for Mythos

    Just 41 days after Opus 4.7, Anthropic unleashes Opus 4.8. A record cadence, prices held steady, a fast mode three times cheaper, and a valuation of 965 billion dollars that now surpasses OpenAI. But the most interesting thing may not be the model itself: it is what Anthropic hints at behind it, with its "Mythos" models expected in the coming weeks.

    Antigravity 2.0: Google takes on Claude Code and Cursor on their own turf

    Antigravity 1.0, launched in November 2025, was a simple editor. Antigravity 2.0, launched on 19 May 2026, is a complete ecosystem for agentic programming: desktop, terminal, SDK, managed API, enterprise. And everything runs on Gemini 3.5 Flash, 4x faster than the competition. Analysis.

    Gemini 3.5 Flash versus GPT-5.5, Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.6: the comparison that changes everything

    Gemini 3.5 Flash beats its bigger sibling 3.1 Pro on coding, crushes MCP Atlas, and costs 40% less. GPT-5.5 keeps the edge on pure reasoning. Claude Opus 4.7 remains king on SWE-Bench. And Gemini 3.5 Pro arrives in June. Here is the full picture of the model wars in May 2026.

    OpenAI opens its cyber weapon to Europe, Anthropic refuses: the standoff begins

    On 11 May 2026, OpenAI officially offered the European Union access to GPT-5.5-Cyber. Anthropic is still refusing. And Germany's Bundesbank warns: without Mythos, European banks will not be able to defend themselves against AI-driven cyberattacks. Here is why this announcement changes everything.

    Are we still in control? The real problem with AI control

    In our previous article on AI acceleration, we asked a dizzying question: if technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it, are we still in control? Six months on, the first concrete cases of "loss of control" are coming to light. Here is what they teach us.

    Is AI conscious? Why researchers no longer dare to say no

    In our previous article, we explained technically how AI works, and we asked a dizzying question: if we cannot prove our own consciousness, and a "lifeless" tool reproduces our emotions to perfection, does the difference really exist? Here is what the researchers who are seriously asking themselves this question in 2026 think.
