This Week in All Things AI - Week 24-2026
Sunday 7th June 2026 to Saturday 13th June 2026
By This Week in All Things AI · 2026-06-14
This Week in All Things AI covers key developments in models, agents, tools, infrastructure, and policy curated from discussions in the All Things AI Telegram group.
If you follow AI for work, research, investing, or just to understand where the technology is heading, this weekly brief is a concise way to scan the most important launches, risks, and resources in a few focused minutes.
The week of June 7–13, 2026 saw model releases dominate the AI landscape, with Anthropic introducing Claude Fable 5, Z.ai launching GLM-5.2 with a 1 million-token context window, NexEcosystem announcing the Nex-N2 open-weight agentic family, Moonshot releasing Kimi-K2.7-Code for coding efficiency, and Google upgrading NotebookLM with Gemini 3.5 and agentic capabilities. In infrastructure, Harvey AI and Trajectory Labs post-trained NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra for legal tasks, and an authentication layer was released to connect agents like Hermes and OpenClaw to commercial APIs.
The week closed with a significant policy disruption as the US government issued an export control directive suspending all non-US access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, forcing Anthropic to disable the models worldwide. Meanwhile, investor Ray Dalio warned of an AI bubble, OpenAI reportedly considered price cuts to compete with Anthropic, and Cognition's coding benchmark found most frontier models produce largely unusable output.
The sections that follow walk through these items day by day, with short context and links so you can dive deeper into the pieces most relevant to your work or interests.

In an interview on Bloomberg Television, Dalio said that all great technological changes create bubbles and that AI was showing the typical signs of this pattern. Investor Ray Dalio says the AI bubble will burst in the next few years unless startups start making billions. Currently, AI companies spend about 8 times more than they earn. The sector needs to generate $2 trillion annually by 2030 to justify current investments.
Dalio compares the AI bubble to past tech bubbles like dotcoms, where stock prices rose on hype but lacked real profits. He acknowledges AI will change the world but doubts its economic viability so far.

My friend Ian Rogers of Ledger just published on Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton on why AI will be many things, but never human. He argues that while AI will become pervasive, persuasive, and highly “personality-like,” it remains a tool rather than a person, and the real danger is humans forgetting that distinction and granting it moral or legal status.
AI Will Be Many Things. But Never Human. - Tetragrammaton
The danger is not that machines will wake up. It is that we will forget the difference...

Google upgrades NotebookLM, which now runs on Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity, to deliver new agentic capabilities and more advanced reasoning for AI Ultra users
Introducing a more powerful NotebookLM
Massive upgrades deliver agentic capabilities in chat, more advanced reasoning, and a suite of new output formats. Tackling complex, multi-step research problems has never been easier.
Rolling out now to Google AI Ultra subscribers.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
Comment from Anya Shapina on Fable's release
Day 1 using Fable - so far, extraordinary! Quality, speed, rule-following. Use case - building agents on MastaAI (ts). Haven't check token burn :) Anyone else?

Harvey AI partnered with Trajectory Labs to post-train NVIDIA's open-weight Nemotron 3 Ultra on their Legal Agent Benchmark, lifting its all-pass rate from 0% to 5.8% and rubric pass rate to 81%, placing it between Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6.
Post-training shifted held-out task reliability from ~70% to ~95% rubric pass rates within 24 hours of the base model's release, using the same data and platform recipe applied to prior Nemotron versions.
The resulting legal agent matches closed-model performance bands while operating at 1/8th to 1/50th the per-token cost, demonstrating rapid domain specialization of open models for high-value verticals like law.
We partnered with @trajectorylabs to post-train NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra for legal. Here’s what we found:
- Open-weight models can reach frontier legal performance.
On our Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB), Nemotron 3 Ultra started at a 0% all-pass rate. After post-training, it

For folks with Hermes and OpenClaw, I have built an authentication layer (https://mybrandmetrics.com) to various apps that I use like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Google Workspace (calendar, sheets, drive, gmail), YouTube, Instagram, TikTok (mainly on the social media side) that can connect agents to (OpenClaw and Hermes agent). It's currently free. I have been using it for my own Google Workspace use cases like finding emails, copying content from emails into Google Sheets, creating calendar invites with attachments. Looking for some folks to test and give feedback. Pls try it out and DM me.
This authentication layer enables agents to connect to APIs and data in these apps. I also have the associated skills at https://clawbus.com/skills
NexEcosystem announces Nex-N2, a new open-weight family of agentic models emphasizing unified "Agentic Thinking" that fuses reasoning, coding, search, and tool use into one coherent loop with adaptive depth scaling for efficiency.
The self-reported numbers are spicy
75.3 on Terminal-Bench 2.1
80.8 on SWE-Bench Verified
90.7 on GPQA Diamond
Currently available for free via OpenRouter
Nex-N2 is here!
A family of agentic models that doesn't just think, it acts!
Coding, search, tool use. All fused into a single agentic reasoning loop.
- Adaptive Thinking, auto-scales reasoning depth per step. Saves ~20% tokens, zero performance loss.
- Coherent Thinking, one

Anthropic reveals a US government export control directive citing national security has forced the suspension of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 access for all foreign nationals, including their own foreign employees.
To comply, the company must immediately disable these models for every customer worldwide, while access to other Claude models remains fully operational.
Anthropic calls the order a misunderstanding, apologizes for the disruption, and states it is working urgently to restore service as soon as possible.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
