The U.S. has removed export restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable AI models, which had previously limited their availability abroad. This change comes after Anthropic agreed to implement security measures and work with the government on future standards. The restrictions, imposed in June, were criticized as politically motivated and had forced Anthropic to halt public access to the models. The decision allows Anthropic to compete globally, especially as Asian companies release similar AI technologies.

Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
