Anthropic has introduced a new security measure for its Claude Fable 5 AI model, leading to the lifting of export controls by the Trump administration. The company extended existing guardrails to block access to certain restricted capabilities, redirecting such requests to the less advanced Opus 4.8 model. This adjustment was made after concerns arose from a paper by Amazon, which highlighted potential bypasses of the model's restrictions. While the Commerce Department has cleared the model for release, some issues with the administration persist.

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.
