The fallout also strengthened calls from 1,293 frontier AI employees for coordinated governance and a slower pace of automated AI development. Amazon narrows Nova strategy - Amazon is reportedly consolidating several Nova models into a single multimodal frontier model, signaling a sharper AI strategy for AWS. The shift suggests Amazon may lean more on cloud infrastructure and partner models instead of competing across every model category. Efficient multimodal models intensify - Microsoft's Mage project and Moonshot's Kimi K3 point to the same trend: better multimodal AI through efficiency-focused design. At the same time, Moonshot's reported push for more NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs shows that even efficient models still depend on scarce frontier compute. AI advances cryptography and physics - Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview helped identify new weaknesses in HAWK and reduced-round AES, highlighting AI's growing role in cryptography research. Separately, JuliaHub found Claude Fable 5 strongest on physics simulations, but also showed that evaluation harnesses matter almost as much as the model. Openness rules tighten in AI - A new study says most AI unicorns publish little scientific wor…
