Full Summary

This Tuesday morning, multiple sources including The Straits Times, Deadline, and MeriTalk confirm that US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring AI developers to provide the government with a 30-day preview of advanced AI models before public release. This move, prompted by concerns over models exposing system vulnerabilities, establishes a voluntary framework for cybersecurity review, rather than mandatory licensing. Meanwhile, Anthropic is expanding access to its advanced AI model, Mythos. Both Times Now and NewsBytes report the European Union is now getting early access to Mythos, which can identify hidden software flaws, following months of requests due to cybersecurity concerns. TechRound adds that Anthropic plans to make Mythos available to all customers in the coming weeks, expanding access from a select group to its entire customer base. SMH.com.au confirms Australia is also gaining access to this model, previously deemed "too dangerous" for general release. In other AI news, Nvidia has unveiled Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550-billion-parameter open AI model, and begun mass production of its Vera Rubin AI server platform, according to 디지털투데이. Nvidia also launched Alpamayo 2 Super, a 32-billion-parameter vision-language-action model designed to accelerate Level 4 autonomous vehicles, as Future Transport-News reports. Microsoft is also making big moves, with Thurrott.com, Gizmodo, and Decrypt all detailing the launch of seven new in-house AI models. These include MAI-Thinking-1, a reasoning model that reportedly matches Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 in coding, and MAI-Image-2.5, which Microsoft claims surpasses Google’s Nano Banana Pro. Finally, OpenAI's frontier models and Codex system are now available on Amazon Web Services, expanding access for businesses, HOKANEWS.COM reports. And Alibaba shares climbed over 6% after unveiling an enhanced AI model, Qwen3.7-Plus, and a six-year agreement with UEFA, parameter.io confirms. This surge of AI model releases and regulatory actions means both the capabilities and oversight of AI are rapidly evolving, directly impacting the security of your data and the products you’ll use in the near future.
