Four "Venice" families launched at Advancing AI 2026: up to 256 cores, 16-channel MRDIMM, PCIe Gen 6 — and two of the four pitched, in AMD's own words, at "agent sandbox execution."
Anthropic's most capable generally available model is the first to refuse zero-data-retention customers outright: organisations with a ZDR arrangement get a 400 on every Fable 5 request unless they carve out a workspace that retains data for 30 days. For regulated buyers, the model choice is now a data-policy choice.
Anthropic's Claude 5 models reason before they answer unless told otherwise, the reasoning bills as output tokens, and the parameter that used to control all this now returns a 400. A tightly sized workload migrating from Opus 4.8 inherits all three changes at once.
