💥 Anthropic reveals Claude Opus 4.7 LINK

Opus 4.7 improves on Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with particular gains on the most difficult coding tasks, handling complex long-running work with rigor while devising ways to verify its own outputs.

Though less broadly capable than Claude Mythos Preview — which remains Anthropic's most powerful and best-aligned model — Opus 4.7 beats Opus 4.6 across a range of benchmarks in coding, vision, and document reasoning.

Anthropic trained Opus 4.7 with efforts to differentially reduce its cyber capabilities below Mythos Preview, and is using its deployment to test safeguards before an eventual broad release of Mythos-class models.

⚡ Musk asks chipmakers to move at "light speed" LINK

Musk's team asked chipmaking equipment suppliers like Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, and Lam Research to move at "light speed," seeking fast price quotes and delivery timelines for gear needed to build the Terafab project.

The Terafab joint venture between Tesla and SpaceX plans to start with a pilot line processing 3,000 wafers per month, with a goal to begin silicon manufacturing by 2029, though no fixed orders have been placed yet.

Samsung proposed giving Tesla more capacity at its planned Texas factory instead of directly supporting Terafab, while Intel said it would join the initiative after Musk visited its Santa Clara office.

👀 Apple sends Siri engineers to AI coding bootcamp LINK

Apple is sending a group of fewer than 200 Siri engineers to a multi-week bootcamp where they will learn to code using AI tools, according to a report from The Information.

AI coding tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex have already taken off in other parts of Apple, with some teams allocating large budgets specifically for Claude Code.

The bootcamp comes ahead of WWDC26 on June 8, where Apple is expected to announce a revamped Siri powered by Google's Gemini models after multiple delays and leadership changes.

🏴‍☠️ Spotify just won $322 million from music pirates it can’t find LINK

Spotify and the three major labels won a $322 million default judgment against Anna's Archive after the pirate activist group scraped 86 million songs from Spotify's platform.

Judge Jed Rakoff awarded Spotify $300 million and UMG, WMG, and Sony Music $22.2 million collectively, plus a permanent injunction requiring internet service providers to block the website.

Enforcing the ruling will be difficult because the operators behind Anna's Archive remain unknown, and the group has previously relaunched on new domain names to avoid shutdowns.

🏛️ Google and Pentagon discuss classified AI deal LINK

Google is in talks with the Pentagon to strike a classified AI deal that would let the Department of Defense run its Gemini models in classified settings for all lawful uses.

During negotiations, Google has proposed contract language that would block its AI from being used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without appropriate human control.

The deal would help Alphabet grow its government ties as the US pushes to embed artificial intelligence into its processes to cut costs and speed up administrative work.

🛰️ Starlink outage disrupts US Navy drone tests LINK

A global Starlink outage last August knocked out communications for two dozen unmanned Navy vessels during a drone test off the California coast, halting operations for nearly an hour.

Internal Navy documents show multiple test disruptions tied to SpaceX's satellite network, including an April 2025 incident where Starlink struggled under the high data load of controlling several drones.

The incidents highlight Pentagon risks from depending heavily on a single company, SpaceX, which holds a near-monopoly in low-earth orbit communications and space launches for the US military.
