Why Weibo’s tiny VibeThinker-3B has the AI world arguing over benchmarks again

On Sunday, a team of nine researchers at Sina Weibo — the Chinese social media giant better known for its microblogging platform than for cutting-edge artificial intelligence — quietly posted a 14-page technical report to arXiv that sent shockwaves through the AI research community. Their claim: a language model with just 3 billion parameters can match or exceed the reasoning performance of flagship systems from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek that are hundreds of times larger.

The AI off switch: How Anthropic’s export controls sparked a global AI sovereignty scramble

Anthropic export controls turned an abstract policy fear into a live one last week: as of June 13, 2026, one US government directive took the company’s two most powerful AI models offline for users everywhere, including, briefly, Anthropic’s own foreign-born employees, and set off alarm bells across Europe and Canada about who really controls the […] The post The AI off switch: How Anthropic’s export controls sparked a global AI sovereignty scramble appeared first on AI News.

MCP solved tool calling. A2A solved coordination. What solves transport?

The history of distributed computing is one of protocol proliferation followed by consolidation. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Java remote method invocation (RMI), and early simple object access protocol (SOAP) competed for the enterprise integration market in the late 1990s before representational state transfer (REST) quietly won by being simpler and HTTP-native.

Anthropic blocks all public access to Claude Fable 5, Mythos 5 following US government order — what enterprises should do

The US government last night issued an unprecedented export control directive ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend all access to its top-tier Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing unspecified national security authorities. In response, Anthropic has blocked all public access to both models, globally — meaning no users around the world can access them at this time, even paying enterprise customers and Anthropic employees internally.

Anthropic brings Mythos to the masses with Claude Fable 5, its most powerful generally available model ever

Anthropic today launched two new AI models — Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 — marking the company’s first broad release of the powerful “Mythos-class” AI capabilities it previously made available only to participating organizations in its restricted cybersecurity program, Project Glasswing, which it announced two months ago. The company says Fable 5, which is the version most users and developers will get starting today, exceeds every Claude model it has previously made generally available —.

Agentic AI solved coding — and exposed every other problem in software engineering

Agentic AI is now a core part of the engineering process, driving massive execution leverage and helping us generate more code than ever before. Yet, a difficult question I’ve increasingly heard from business leaders is: if we’re shipping code faster than ever, why aren’t our products improving at the same rate? The reason is that writing code was never the rate limiter.
