A weekly AI news roundup covering several major announcements. Claude Fable 5 (a new Mythos-tier model from Anthropic) launched with strong coding capabilities but sparked controversy over hidden safety restrictions that silently downgraded responses for topics like LLM development, medical queries, and cybersecurity — Anthropic partially reversed course within hours. Apple's WWDC showcased a significantly upgraded Siri powered by Apple Foundation Models and Google Gemini, with personal context awareness, visual intelligence, AI-generated shortcuts, and spatial photo reframing in iOS 27 beta. Google updated NotebookLM with Gemini 3.5 and new output formats, launched a real-time translation model coming to Google Meet, and released Diffusion Gemma — a fast text-generation model using diffusion techniques for efficient local inference. Additional items include ChatGPT's email-sending feature, OpenAI's IPO filing, SpaceX's IPO, Coinbase opening its platform to AI agents, and a teased Midjourney hardware product.
