Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping the tech world.
The Trump administration has lifted export restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable AI models, a move that clears the way for broader international access. Anthropic says it will begin restoring user access to the Fable model starting July first, signaling a significant shift in how the government is treating advanced AI exports.
Shifting to a story about money and talent, autonomous driving startup Wayve has launched an eighty-five million dollar employee tender offer at a valuation of eight point five billion dollars. The move is part of a broader pattern among AI companies using these tender offers not just as liquidity events, but as a deliberate strategy to attract and hold onto top engineering talent in an increasingly competitive market.
And on a less flattering note for Anthropic, users of Claude Code are reporting that the platform has been silently deleting their conversation transcripts. The issue traces back to a default setting that the app never surfaces to users, and the company's GitHub repository has seen a growing number of open complaints over the past couple of months. Not a great look for a tool developers are supposed to trust.
