Dario Amodei, co-founder and chief executive officer of Anthropic, at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, India, on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026. Prakash Singh | Bloomberg | Getty Images Global banks, tech giants and governments were sent scrambling last month to contain the risks posed by Mythos , the Anthropic model said to be so powerful that it has found thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities in the world's software infrastructure. There's just one problem: The capability they're worried about is already here. Cybersecurity experts and artificial intelligence researchers told CNBC that the software vulnerabilities revealed by Mythos can be found using existing models, including those from Anthropic and OpenAI. "What we are seeing across the industry now is that people are able to reproduce the vulnerabilities found with Mythos through clever orchestration of public models to get very, very similar results," said Ben Harris , CEO of cybersecurity firm watchTowr Labs. Mythos has jolted executives and policymakers alike over concern that a perilous new era of AI-enabled cybercrime may be near. Anthropic limited its release to a few American companies including Apple , Amazon , JPMorgan Chase and Palo Alto Network to reduce the risk that bad actors get their hands on it. Even with that precaution, the release has prompted the Trump administration to consider new government oversight over future models. It's the latest in a string of high-profile launches from Anthropic that have intensified its rivalry with OpenAI as the two AI giants approach their highly anticipated IPOs. Weeks after the arrival of Mythos, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced GPT-5.5-Cyber , a model specifically tailored for cybersecurity . OpenAI on Thursday allowed limited access to GPT-5.5-Cyber to vetted cybersecurity teams. The controlled rollout of Mythos, part of a security measure called Project Glasswing , was to give the corporate world time to gird its cyber defenses against a coming onsl...

(Atlantic) The lyrics may argue the dancefloor is dead, but this funny, wilfully plasticky new single isn’t the total about-turn from Brat that fans expected Last month, Charli xcx began the media campaign for her seventh studio album by giving an interview to Vogue magazine. The ensuing feature caused an impressive degree of online consternation, not because the 33-year-old star had said anything particularly controversial, but because she had suggested that the follow-up to 2024’s Brat would sound markedly different to its predecessor. “If I’d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad,” she said, not unreasonably declining to chase Brat’s vast success by attempting to replicate it. (Although, in fairness, you could have probably worked that out from House, the noisy, experimental collaboration with John Cale she released at the end of last year as the first single from her soundtrack to Wuthering Heights.) She also played the interviewer a track that contained both “heavily processed guitars” and the lyrics “I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we’re making rock music”: Vogue duly ran with the idea, trumpeting Charli xcx’s “rock reinvention” in both the headline and on its cover and other news outlets picked up on the story – “CHARLI XCX CONFIRMS ROCK ALBUM”. What one journalist tactfully called “heated discourse online from some fans and artists within the music industry” followed, eventually prompting the singer to respond, posting “a video of me making a song called Rock Music that is not actually rock music which is funny because I never said I was making a rock album”.

Earnings Call Insights: McEwen Inc. (MUX) Q1 2026 Management View CEO Robert McEwen positioned the quarter as a turning point, saying, "We generated net income of $33.4 million or $0.56 per share," and added, "This is a significant turnaround and reflects our improving operational performance, higher gold and silver prices and a more disciplined execution." McEwen reiterated the long-dated production plan and balance sheet posture: "We are scaling the company to 250,000 to 300,000 gold equivalent ounces GEOs per year by 2030, while maintaining a strong balance sheet," while framing the approach as internally funded: "We are advancing our multi-asset growth strategy with internal funding positioning the company to nearly double production while minimizing dilution." On pipeline visibility in Canada, McEwen said, "Initial production is expected in late '26 and commercial production starting next year" at Stock, and added that Stock plus Grey Fox "are targeted to deliver 75,000 to 90,000 gold equivalent ounces annually by 2030." On Tartan, he cited the updated resource and restart ambition: "We're targeting initial production of 30,000 ounces per year with the potential to reach 45,000 to 55,000 ounces per annum." CFO Perry Ing tied earnings and liquidity to operating leverage and accounting changes: "We earned $0.56 a share basic and $0.47 a share fully diluted," and noted, "Our cash balance at the end of the first quarter was $57 million versus $51 million at the beginning of the year." Managing Director Michael Meding quantified Los Azules funding needs and timetable: "The total financing cost from FID to full operation is approximately $4 billion," and outlined the targeted schedule: "Our objective is to reach final investment decision by the year-end of 2026 with construction commencing in early 2027, obviously, subject to project financing and customary approvals." Outlook Management reiterated a 2030 operating scale-up anchored by multiple assets, with CEO McEwe...

If you put $10,000 into Lucid Motors (NASDAQ: LCID) stock at its peak in February 2021, you would have just $120 today -- a decline of 99%. This horrifying crash highlights the risks involved in betting on speculative and unprofitable disruptors. That said, Lucid may be down, but it isn't out. And the lower price tag gives investors an opportunity to bet on a rebound. Let's dig deeper to decide if new model releases, an exciting robotaxi partnership with Uber Technologies , and continued support from the Saudi Arabian government can help Lucid bounce back and start creating sustainable shareholder value over the next few years. Lucid's first-quarter earnings highlight its complicated operational situation. The good news is that production volume jumped 149% year over year to 5,500 vehicles. And this trend was driven by the ramping up of capacity at its Arizona manufacturing plant and the rollout of the new Gravity SUV, which has significantly expanded its addressable market.

OpenAI Valuation Doubts Loom As Softbank Scales Back Margin Loan SoftBank Group's abrupt scaling back of a planned $10 billion margin loan backed by its roughly 13% stake in OpenAI - now targeting as little as $6 billion - reveals deepening lender unease over the AI giant’s $852 billion post-money valuation set in March 2026 .

OpenAI Valuation Doubts Loom As Softbank Scales Back Margin Loan SoftBank Group's abrupt scaling back of a planned $10 billion margin loan backed by its roughly 13% stake in OpenAI - now targeting as little as $6 billion - reveals deepening lender unease over the AI giant’s $852 billion post-money valuation set in March 2026 . The move follows earlier $40 billion bridge financing and comes amid reports that OpenAI missed internal revenue and weekly-active-user targets earlier this year. While the loan itself is SoftBank’s problem, the episode carries real risks for OpenAI. The clearest danger is a loss of valuation momentum (a down-round!). Reuters reports that lenders, including banks and private-credit funds, balked at assigning reliable collateral value to unlisted shares in a company whose secondary-market demand has already cooled . With sellers reportedly outnumbering buyers and rival Anthropic drawing stronger interest, the episode reinforces perceptions that OpenAI’s headline valuation may be frothy. This could make future capital raises more expensive or dilutive, especially if OpenAI needs additional funding to service its enormous compute commitments - estimated in the hundreds of billions over the next few years. An anticipated IPO, once seen as straightforward at premium multiples, might now face haircuts or heavier scrutiny from public-market investors wary of missing-growth signals. SoftBank’s own leverage adds indirect pressure. The Japanese conglomerate is one of OpenAI’s largest backers and has layered significant debt atop its AI bets. Should credit markets tighten further or OpenAI’s performance lag, SoftBank could face margin calls or be forced to sell secondary shares - flooding an already thin market and driving down perceived value. That, in turn, might erode employee and partner confidence, complicate talent retention in a hyper-competitive sector, and chill the broader AI investment narrative that has sustained OpenAI’s sky-high spending.
