Summary
A compact midweek catch-up on the AI stories that matter most: the U.S. lifts export restrictions that had cut off access to Anthropic’s top models, Anthropic pushes deeper into scientific workflow software with Claude Science, and a new paper argues we need better tests for whether autonomous agents can shape beliefs through planning and action. Covered in this episode: - The U.S. lifts restrictions on Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable models, reopening access and underscoring continuing policy uncertainty - Anthropic launches Claude Science, a scientist-focused workbench built around workflow rather than a new model - New research tests whether LLMs can induce belief states through action and planning, not just conversation - Wayve launches an $85 million employee tender at an $8.5 billion valuation - Meta adds usage limits and a soft paywall to AI features on its smart glasses Source links: - https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/30/trump-drops-restrictions-on-anthropics-mythos-and-fable-models/ - https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/30/anthropics-claude-science-bets-on-workflow-not-a-new-model-to-win-over-scientists/ - https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.31916v1 - https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/30/wayve-launches-85m-employee-tender-offer-at-8-5b-valuation/ - https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/959899/meta-ai-glasses-paywall-rate-limit
