The White House is urging Anthropic to address security vulnerabilities in its AI model, Claude Fable 5, which was recently taken offline. Concerns center around jailbreaking, a method that bypasses model safeguards. While Anthropic argues the risks are minimal, the administration insists on proactive measures to identify and report potential exploits. Experts, however, suggest that completely preventing jailbreaks may be unfeasible, highlighting a significant challenge in AI model security. This situation underscores the complex relationship between AI innovation and regulatory oversight.

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.
