PANews reported on June 10th that Anthropic released a public version of its Mythos model on Tuesday, but with restrictions prohibiting its use in high-risk areas such as cybersecurity. Anthropic stated that the new Claude Fable 5 is the most powerful model Anthropic has ever built for wider application, praising its performance in software engineering and data analysis. Anthropic had previously announced that Mythos had discovered thousands of software vulnerabilities, and subsequently limited the model's use to approximately 200 organizations, including the US government, through its "Glasswing" program. Anthropic stated that extensive testing has been conducted to ensure that users cannot manipulate Claude Fable 5 to bypass its guidelines and perform restricted operations. Dianne Penn, Head of Product Management, Research and Labs at Anthropic, stated that based on early customer feedback, while Fable 5 is more expensive, it requires fewer tokens to execute tasks, thus reducing the overall cost per task. Anthropic also stated that users with access to the Claude Mythos preview version (i.e., the version without security measures) will be able to upgrade to the new Claude Mythos 5. Both models are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.

PANews reported on June 10 that, according to CCTV News, the U.S. Central Command stated that, under the direction of President Trump, the U.S. military launched a defensive strike against Iran at 5:00 PM Eastern Time in response to the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter the previous day. The U.S. Central Command stated that this operation was a response to Iran's "unprovoked act of aggression." Early this morning (June 10) local time, explosions were heard in eastern Hormozgan province in southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Minabu, triggering the activation of air defense systems. US President Trump stated, "I think it's very important to respond. They shot down a helicopter, and we are responding." Trump added, "I've always believed in responding in a strong way. We had a very good agreement, and we likely still do. This action is a response to them shooting down our helicopter last night, and I think the response should be very strong, very powerful, and this action is exactly that." Later reports indicated that an Iraqi militia group claimed that an Iranian drone had flown over Iraqi airspace and launched an attack on U.S. targets.
