At the same time, tensions around Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 export restrictions intensified, with cybersecurity leaders and researchers calling for the U.S. government to reverse its decision. Meanwhile, SpaceX officially acquired AI coding startup Cursor in a $60 billion stock deal, creating one of the most powerful AI software ecosystems under Elon Musk's expanding empire. Chinese lab Z AI released GLM-5.2, bringing open-weight models closer than ever to frontier systems like GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella renewed his warning that companies should focus on building proprietary learning loops rather than depending entirely on frontier models, while Microsoft's Copilot Cowork prepares to support cheaper alternatives like DeepSeek.
