## Resource

A concise catch-up on the day in AI: a new enterprise security startup bets companies will need to manage AI agents like employees, Anthropic’s clash with the U.S. government over model restrictions keeps widening, and a fresh research paper argues we should judge coding agents by how they work, not just whether they finish. Covered stories: - NewCore emerges with $66 million to manage AI agents as enterprise identities - Katie Moussouris says Anthropic shared a White House report on the Fable jailbreak for her appraisal - Research: agent trajectories as programs for fingerprinting coding-agent behavior - Headline: Kate Moussouris argues Fable 5 export controls could hurt U.S. cyber defense - Headline: The Verge reports Anthropic received a directive to suspend Mythos 5 and Fable 5 access for foreign nationals - Headline: AWS DevOps Agent adds custom SRE agents plus MCP and A2A access Source links: - https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/ai-agents-are-becoming-employees-newcore-emerges-with-66m-to-give-them-identities/ - https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/16/matteo-wong-the-atlantic/#atom-everything - https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.16988v1 - https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/16/fable-5-export-controls/#atom-everything - https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/950412/anthropic-trump-adminstration-claude-mythos-fable-5-export-controls - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/06/aws-devops-agent-custom-agents/
