...but they're still spending on AI solution as if they do.

Think everyone has clean, consistent, governed data?

Of course not — yet most orgs are investing 7-8 figures in agentic projects anyway. Fivetran's agentic AI readiness index lays it all out:

• Only 15% of teams are prepared for agentic AI at scale
• Governance and compliance issues are stalling AI projects
• Open Data Infrastructure is emerging as the new agentic standard

Anthropic appears to be moving Claude Mythos to broader availability, with the model now helping protect a wider range of organizations. Traces of the model have already surfaced on Google Cloud and AWS through vulnerability discovery programs. A release for Mythos 1 seems imminent. Claude Opus 4.8 is also rumored to be in the works for release.

The release candidate for the next Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification is now available. It is the largest revision of the protocol since launch. The candidate introduces a stateless core that scales on ordinary HTTP infrastructure, extensions, authorization that aligns more closely with OAuth and OpenID Connect deployments, a formal deprecation policy, and many other changes. It contains breaking changes. The final specification will ship on July 28.

OpenAI outlined a macro-evaluation workflow for agentic systems that analyzes patterns across entire populations of traces rather than isolated failures.

Lance is a lightweight native unified multimodal model that supports image and video understanding, generation, and editing. It delivers strong performance across image generation, image editing, and video generation benchmarks with just 3B active parameters. The model was trained entirely from scratch within a 128-A100-GPU budget. Examples of clips generated by the model are available in the repository.

Reasonix is a DeepSeek-native coding agent for the terminal. It is engineered around prefix-cache stability and designed to be left running. Token costs stay low across long sessions.

David Sacks, a venture Capitalist, warned President Trump on a call that the long-awaited executive order on the dangers posed by artificial intelligence that Trump was deliberating on could lead to mandatory regulations that slow down the industry in its race with Chinese competitors. Trump responded that he shared concerns about China and was worried about hindering AI investment. He then postponed the signing and told reporters he wouldn't sign the order. The incident shows how powerful Sacks' influence is and marks a win for those against strong guardrails to limit the risks posed by the technology.

Anthropic is on track to do $10.9 billion in Q2 revenue, up from $4.8 billion in Q1, growing faster right now than Zoom did at the peak of the pandemic. The thing that flipped them to profit is compute getting cheaper, 71 cents of compute per revenue dollar in Q1, 56 cents in Q2. Claude Code on its own is at $2.5 billion in revenue, and the company expects to clear $559 million in profit just in time for its October IPO. The "AI labs burn money forever" story finally has a hole in it.
