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.
