Anthropic dominated the narrative this week, swinging wildly from the impressive zero-day exploits of its Claude “Mythos Preview” to the disruptive launch of Claude Design, which immediately wiped 4.26% off Figma’s stock. However, this awe is heavily overshadowed by stealth nerfs and billing traps, such as Anthropic secretly slashing Claude’s default cache TTL to five minutes and an AMD engineer proving the default thinking effort was silently dropped to “medium”. In a fascinating shift regarding vulnerabilities, researchers also demonstrated that the most effective prompt injections no longer use technical overrides, but instead weaponize models’ inherent helpfulness through ethical hypotheticals that force them to leak system prompts.

Tencent’s HY-World 2.0 is officially dropping, bringing open-source multimodal 3D world generation that exports directly to game engines as editable meshes and 3D Gaussian Splatting, pushing well beyond standard video synthesis. Meanwhile, SenseNova’s NEO-unify is turning heads by ditching the VAE and vision encoder entirely for a 2B parameter native image generation architecture that processes raw pixels with an impressive 31.56 PSNR. On the cybersecurity front, OpenAI quietly rolled out GPT-5.4-Cyber to trusted testers to rival Anthropic’s Mythos, just as the UK AI Security Institute reported Mythos successfully completed 3 out of 10 simulated corporate network attacks without human intervention.
