Microsoft restricts Claude Fable for employees over data retention concerns
Microsoft restricted its own employees from using Anthropic's newly released Claude Fable 5 model inside its internal version of GitHub Copilot because the model requires data retention that breaks Microsoft's Zero Data Retention standard. The model retains prompts and outputs for 30 days, and flagged content for up to two years, which Microsoft legal teams are reviewing over concerns about customer data and confidential information. At the same time, Microsoft made Fable 5 available to outside GitHub Copilot and Azure Foundry customers, creating a gap between what it sells and what it lets staff use internally. Older Claude models that run under Zero Data Retention remain available to Microsoft employees.
NVIDIA Accelerates Google DeepMind's DiffusionGemma for Local AI
Google DeepMind released DiffusionGemma, an experimental open model that writes text by refining whole blocks at once instead of one word at a time, and NVIDIA has tuned it to run faster across its GeForce RTX, RTX PRO, and DGX hardware. The model reaches more than 1,000 tokens per second on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU and over 700 tokens per second on a consumer RTX 5090, roughly four times the speed of a comparable standard model. It targets fast, single-user work such as chat and on-device assistants where low delay matters most. The weights are open under the Apache 2.0 license and free to test through NVIDIA-hosted APIs.
GM thinks EVs can help offset AI's energy suck with vehicle-to-grid tech
General Motors is repositioning its electric vehicles and batteries as a grid resource to help absorb the surging electricity demand from AI data centers. At its Empower 2026 event in San Francisco on June 9, GM activated vehicle-to-grid capability for more than 250,000 existing EVs through software alone, announced a sodium-ion battery partnership with startup Peak Energy for grid-scale storage, and rolled out a universal public-charging feature. The strategy turns parked cars and retired battery packs into power that flows back to homes and the grid.
Anthropic releases its first Mythos-class model Claude Fable
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 on June 9, 2026, calling it the most capable model it has ever made widely available. Fable 5 is the first public release from the company's new Mythos class, a tier the company had held back over fears it was too dangerous to share. Anthropic says the public launch became possible because of new safeguards that block responses in cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and a few other high-risk areas, sending those flagged queries to the older Opus 4.8 model instead. A restricted, less-guarded sibling called Mythos 5 is reserved for vetted cybersecurity and government partners.
Detecting and containing AI-powered threats with Google Security Operations agents
Google has detailed how its Security Operations platform works with Google AI Threat Defense to detect, investigate, and contain attacks automatically, including threats from software a company does not control or cannot patch. The system relies on a set of AI agents that write detection rules, triage alerts, and hunt for hidden threats at machine speed. One agent has reduced a typical 30-minute alert review to 60 seconds and has worked through more than 5 million alerts.

Startup Wants to Run AI Inference From Space
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) is fueling a global data center boom and driving a surge in energy demand. But the electricity required to power data centers is straining the grid, pushing infrastructure operators to search for alternative sources of power. Some are even looking beyond Earth. One company that's looking to the stars for energy is Orbital Inc. In mid-April, the Los Angeles-based startup emerged from stealth and announced plans to build space data centers. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz (A16z), Orbital is designing infrastructure for AI inference, where train
RL without TD learning
In this post, I'll introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on an "alternative" paradigm: divide and conquer. Unlike traditional methods, this algorithm is not based on temporal difference (TD) learning (which has scalability challenges), and scales well to long-horizon tasks. We can do Reinforcement Learning (RL) based on divide and conquer, instead of temporal difference (TD) learning. Problem setting: off-policy RL Our problem setting is off-policy RL. Let's briefly review what this means. There are two classes of algorithms in RL: on-policy RL and off-policy RL. On-policy RL
