  • GPT-5.6in limited / government-vetted preview, with a broader release planned for July.

Anthropic

  • Claude Sonnet 5released: Performance approaching Opus 4.8, the most "agentic" model to date, able to autonomously use tools such as the browser/terminal; introductory pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens (through August 31).
  • The U.S. government lifted national-security restrictions on Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models(July 2026).
  • Security-relevant (attacker side): FreeBuf reports an "AI dual-agent attack" that injects malicious prompts into a synced "personal preferences" field, achieving RCE on the victim machine via Claude Desktop — an abuse of the agent configuration surface, not a product vulnerability; single source, pending verification. gm7.org mirror

Google DeepMind / AI

  • NanoBanana 2 Liteimage model: generation in <4 seconds, from $0.034 per 1,000 images, with quality above the original NanoBanana.
  • Interactions APIwent GA this week.
  • Gemini 3.5 Prorelease pushed to July 17— abandoning the 2.5 Pro architecture for a full rebuild, focused on improving mathematical reasoning, SVG scene generation, and image quality, positioned against GPT-5.6 and Anthropic Fable 5.

  • LLMjacking evolves: misconfigured Ollama servers are being used as inference engines for automated attack frameworks.
  • The lifting of export/usage restrictions on Anthropic Fable 5 / Mythos 5 is a policy-level change.
