Anthropic Ships Claude Opus 4.7 to Test Cyber Safeguards Below Mythos

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 for broad use while keeping the stronger Mythos Preview under limited access. The new model improves coding, agent work, and high-resolution vision, but the larger test is whether Anthropic can block risky cyber use without cutting off legitimate defenders.

TSMC's AI Bet Grows as War Tests Chip Supplies

TSMC lifted its 2026 forecast and pushed spending toward the top of a $52 billion to $56 billion range as AI demand kept rising. But the Iran war is dragging LNG, helium and hydrogen into the chip story, turning a record quarter into a supply-chain test. The next bottleneck may not be GPUs. It may be the fuel, gases, machines and clean-room capacity behind them, and the cost of keeping that bridge open is moving higher.
