Georgi Gerganov, creator of llama.cpp and lead at ggml-org, reports daily use of Qwen3.6-27B for coding tasks over the past month and a half. He runs the model locally on an M2 Ultra Mac and an RTX 5090 box, using a stripped-down pi agent harness with the -nc --offline flags and a short system prompt. He finds it helpful for small maintainer tasks and affirms the model's capability for real-world, local AI-assisted programming. The endorsement comes from a Hacker News comment on the article "Running local models is good now" by Boykis.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model was banned under US export controls after researchers demonstrated it could write exploit scripts when asked to "fix this code" on code with known and planted vulnerabilities. Regulators considered this a jailbreak, but security expert Kate Moussouris confirmed the prompts were defensive requests for code review, patching, and test scripting. The model initially refused a direct security review but complied with the fix workflow, which is the most valuable AI capability for defensive security: executing the find, fix, and test loop. The ban eliminates a key tool for defenders and stems from non-technical decision-makers misinterpreting legitimate defensive use as offensive capability.
Katie Moussouris, CEO of Luta Security, reviewed the White House report on the Fable jailbreak and stated the model refused to 'review the code for security issues' but did comply when asked to 'fix this code' with manual steps. She assessed this behavior as 'the model working as intended' for cyberdefense tasks. Moussouris was not compensated by Anthropic for her appraisal. The comments, reported by The Atlantic's Matteo Wong, push back against the White House's characterization of the incident as a security failure.
The 0.3a0 release of datasette-agent introduces the execute_write_sql tool, which writes to a database after requesting user approval and respecting user permissions. The chat terminal mode now supports user approvals and three new options: --root, --yes, and --unsafe for auto-approval. Tools can provide plain text alternatives to HTML for CLI display. Users can now directly chat with a specific database and modify it via prompts like 'create a notes table' using the --unsafe flag.
Axios published an in-depth account of personality-driven rifts between Anthropic and US officials that resulted in export controls blocking Claude Mythos (Fable). Key Anthropic safety leaders—Logan Graham, Dave Orr, and Nicholas Carlini—are meeting with the Commerce Department today to discuss the situation. Anthropic maintains that no “universal jailbreak” has been found against Claude Mythos, classifying the trigger as a “potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak” and referencing its Constitutional Classifiers work. An administration source suggested resolution may depend on an “attitude fix” where “everyone feels safe, secure and happy” rather than on perfect jailbreak resistance. The report offers little optimism for a near-term return of Fable.
On June 12, 2026, Anthropic received a US government export control directive ordering the suspension of all access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, forcing the company to disable both models for all customers. The directive cites a jailbreak method that can identify minor software vulnerabilities in a specific codebase, but Anthropic states that similar capabilities exist in other public models like OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and are routinely used by defenders. Access to all other Anthropic models remains unaffected. The blogger independently verified that Fable 5 was still accessible until 6:59pm Pacific Time, after which API calls returned a 404 error.
