Washington's clampdown on frontier AI is starting to look like a strategic own-goal: Chinese lab Z.ai's open-weight GLM-5.2 reportedly now matches Anthropic's Mythos on some cybersecurity tasks, even as the Trump administration edges toward letting Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 back online…
The White House has quietly rewritten the rules of frontier AI: at Washington's request OpenAI shipped its new GPT-5.6 "Sol" models only to a vetted set of US partners — the same ad-hoc gatekeeping that had briefly benched Anthropic's top models — a concentration of control that now has…

While Europe defends money as a public good through the Digital Euro, the USA delegates its future to private, opaque, and profit-driven stablecoins. This is not merely a technical clash, but a battle between democratic control and market power.
