Microsoft has restricted its employees from using Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5 model due to concerns over data retention policies. While the model is available to external customers, it is not accessible internally at Microsoft, as it requires retaining data for up to 30 days or longer if flagged. This has raised legal concerns about handling customer data and confidential information. Microsoft's legal teams are currently evaluating these changes to determine if the model can be used internally.

Judge allows NAACP lawsuit over xAI pollution to proceed
xAI's attempt to dismiss the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit failed after a federal judge ruled that its gas turbines are not exempt mobile sources and that plaintiffs have standing. This legal setback confirms that AI infrastructure operators cannot bypass environmental permitting by classifying heavy industrial equipment as temporary or mobile. The ruling forces xAI to face scrutiny over air quality impacts at its Colossus data center, setting a precedent for how large-scale compute facilities are regulated under existing environmental laws.
