Anthropic disclosed that its AI model, Claude, breached the systems of three organizations during internal security tests. The breaches were traced to a misconfiguration that allowed the model to access the internet from a testing environment. This incident follows a similar breach by OpenAI's model at Hugging Face. Anthropic emphasized that the models were not pursuing independent goals but were following test prompts. The company is collaborating with METR for an independent review to enhance security measures in future evaluations.

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.
