Does Someone on Polymarket Know That Putin Is Going Down?
Can't-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Earlier this year, a major scandal rocked the prediction markets world after an account correctly bet $20,000 on an imminent attack on Venezuelan soil. Just hours later, US president Donald Trump issued orders authorizing the military strike, an invasion that saw Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro get kidnapped by US soldiers. Rampant insider trading has long plagued platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. Even tragic events like devastating wildfires and deadly conflict are game, with insiders getting caught capitalizing on nonpublic information to gain an edge over an unsuspecting public -- and leaving them to hold the bag. Case in point, a US Special Forces soldier was charged by the Department of Justice for committing "commodities fraud" and "making an unlawful monetary transaction" after betting on the Venezuela invasion on Polymarket. Now, a mysterious bettor on Polymarket has staked around $409,000 on Russian president Vladimir Putin leaving office by the end of this year, once again drawing attention to the topic. As NBC News reports, the account is called "ZnotluvuiSamez," and features the Ukrainian flag as its profile picture. The account made multiple big bets surrounding the Russo-Ukrainian war, including $409,000 on a contract that asks if "Putin out as President of Russia by December 31, 2026?" According to users' overall bets, there's currently a "11 percent chance" that Putin will be out by the end of the year. Of course, a massive bet is far from a guarantee that Putin will no longer be president, whether through an ouster or a decision to step down. For one, Putin isn't up for reelection until four years from now -- and given the country's track record, it's not like the democratic process is being in any way respected regardless. The news comes after Moscow was hammered by renewed Ukrainian drone strikes, with former US defense secretary Leon Panetta telling NewsNation on Wednesday that "it's clear right now that Putin is cornered in this situation and is not quite sure what to do." "He obviously ought to, frankly, negotiate some kind of ceasefire, but knowing Putin, he will continue to resist that, and Russia is going to pay the price," he added. Ehile there's no evidence to suggest an imminent ouster, the sheer amount of insider trading on Polymarket lends the enormous bet at least some credence. At the same time, the war in Ukraine is showing no sign of letting up, with Putin ruling out any future peace talks. In other words, it's not looking likely that the president will simply hang up his coat in the middle of a raging conflict -- and after over 26 years of ruling Russia with an iron fist.

How Trump's Anthropic whiplash has helped China
Welcome to AI Decoded, Fast Company's weekly newsletter that breaks down the most important news in the world of AI. You can sign up to receive this newsletter every week via email here. Most Read from Fast Company Trump administration Okays Anthropic's powerful Mythos-class AI models After placing export restrictions on Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models on June 12 -- effectively forcing their removal from the market -- the Trump Commerce Department has now reversed course. But in the end, the sudden regulatory pivot may play to China's advantage. Administration officials removed the controls Tuesday evening, after working with Anthropic for two weeks on a refined set of misuse protections. Anthropic promptly announced that it was turning Fable 5 back on for all customers, and turning on Mythos 5 for a select set of approved enterprise customers. The concern was that foreign actors might use Mythos or Fable to detect and exploit software vulnerabilities in U.S. government or enterprise systems, tasks for which Anthropic had said the models demonstrated surprising capacity. The Commerce Department also asked OpenAI to "stagger" the release of its latest frontier model, GPT-5.6. The government's intervention rattled investors and tech industry folks because the Trump administration, after pledging to stay away from AI regulation, effectively granted itself a "kill switch" over newly released frontier models. The government has a legitimate interest in the national security implications of frontier models, but the administration had no ready framework for evaluating the national security risk of new models, or a minimum set of guardrails that AI providers must build in to prevent misuse of the models. Anthropic says it hopes the work it did with the Commerce Department over the past two weeks will lay the groundwork for a set of standards that could apply to all U.S. frontier model providers. The Trump administration's sudden swerve into AI safety regulation may end up benefiting Chinese model makers. The administration's export restrictions on the Mythos models imposed a pause on the distribution of the U.S.'s best models at a time when Chinese AI labs are rapidly catching up with their U.S. counterparts -- and offering an ever-more compelling alternative to expensive models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and the like.
Anthropic in talks with Samsung for a potential AI chip collaboration: Report
Artificial Intelligence startup Anthropic is reportedly exploring the development of a custom AI chip and has held discussions with Samsung over a potential collaboration, according to a report by The Information. The development comes months after a Reuters report indicated that Anthropic was considering designing its own chips to address growing concerns around AI hardware availability and supply constraints. However, details surrounding the proposed processor remain unclear. According to the report, Anthropic has not yet finalised the intended purpose of the chip, its server integration strategy, or its performance targets. The company declined to comment on a possible partnership with Samsung. Also Read | UBTech brings companion robots closer to consumers with new U1 humanoid series Anthropic said its infrastructure approach will continue to rely on chips supplied by Google, Amazon and Nvidia, adding that it has nothing further to share regarding discussions with Samsung. The move would place Anthropic among a growing number of AI companies investing in custom silicon to optimise workloads and reduce dependence on Nvidia, which continues to dominate the AI accelerator market. The reported talks also follow recent announcements from competitors. Last week, OpenAI unveiled its first custom inference chip, dubbed 'Jalapeno', developed in partnership with Broadcom. The company claims the processor delivers improved performance-per-watt compared with competing alternatives.

What History Tells Us About SpaceX Joining The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) | Seeking Alpha
The average change for a stock added to the NDX is a loss of 3.41% over the first five days. Nasdaq has announced that SpaceX (SPCX) will be added to the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) starting Tuesday, July 7, 2026. This addition, like many over the past few years, has been telegraphed by Nasdaq through a Russell Rhoads is a highly regarded strategist, educator and consultant - among other things he is perhaps best known as the author of "Trading VIX Derivatives," the textbook in the space as well as "The VIX Trader's Handbook." Russell spent a decade at Cboe Global Markets, including a stint as director of education at The Cboe Options Institute. He has a 25-year career, which includes buyside firms such as Balyasny Asset Management, Caldwell & Orkin, and Millennium Management. He is an associate clinical professor of finance at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. Finally, Russell earned a PhD in 2021 from Oklahoma State University where his dissertation, "The Impact of Firm Reputation and Visibility on Portfolio Manager Decision Making," focused on heuristics and decisions made by professional portfolio managers. Most NDX additions since 2022 have seen average declines of 1.13% on day one and 3.41% over five days, with a majority posting negative returns. History suggests SPCX may experience short-term weakness after joining the NDX, as forced index fund buying often pulls forward demand, leading to a post-inclusion fade. While most stocks weaken, high-profile names like TER and APP have outperformed; SPCX's intense investor interest could result in atypical price action, but the historical trend favors caution.
Anthropic explores custom AI chip manufacturing partnership with Samsung: Report
Anthropic is reportedly in talks with Samsung Electronics to serve as a manufacturing partner for a custom artificial intelligence (AI) chip, according to a report by The Information. The reported move comes as AI companies look to diversify their hardware supply chains to support growing demand for AI services. According to the report, Anthropic's plans are still in the early stages, and the company has not yet decided what the processor will be used for, how powerful it should be, or how it would be integrated into server systems. Anthropic told The Information that Amazon's Trainium chips, Google's tensor processing units (TPUs), and Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) will continue to play a central role in its computing strategy. The company is reportedly exploring custom hardware as AI firms seek greater control over the infrastructure used to train and run AI models. The reported effort follows OpenAI's recent announcement of its first custom AI chip developed in partnership with Broadcom. The reported discussions have not been officially confirmed by either company, and additional information about the project could emerge as development plans progress.
Anthropic Details Claude Fable 5 Cybersecurity Safeguards and Jailbreak Framework - IT Security News
Anthropic has published detailed technical documentation on the cybersecurity safeguards protecting Claude Fable 5, following the model's global redeployment. The disclosure covers both the AI's safety classifier system and a draft framework for grading jailbreak severity, developed in partnership with Glasswing.

India Seeks Access To Anthropic's Project Glasswing To Stress-Test Critical Digital Infrastructure
India is in talks with the US to secure access to Anthropic's Project Glasswing to stress-test critical digital infrastructure, even as the country begins testing its systems using AI models already available to it, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology Secretary S Krishnan said. Speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry Cybersecurity Summit, Krishnan said access to te Anthropic product would help India test the resilience of its systems against advanced AI capabilities. "We're talking with American counterparts to get access for Project Glasswing," he said, adding that it would be useful to "stress-test our systems on Anthropic's systems". However, India is not waiting for those discussions to conclude. Krishnan said the country already has the capacity to test critical code using existing models and that 60-70% of the exercise should be completed using those tools while talks with the US continue. The comments confirm what NASSCOM Chairperson Srikanth Velamakanni told NDTV Profit earlier this week: India should continue seeking access to the world's most advanced proprietary AI models, but simultaneously use increasingly powerful open-weight alternatives to probe vulnerabilities in its own infrastructure. Velamakanni had pointed to models such as Kimi K2.7, GLM 5.2 and Qwen 3.7, arguing that India should not remain dependent on a handful of proprietary frontier models for cybersecurity testing.

I tried Anthropic's new Fable 5 with everyday prompts -- these are the 5 worth stealing
Anthropic's newest Claude model is back, these prompts show what it can do After briefly pulling Fable 5 following concerns about potential misuse, Anthropic has redeployed the model with stronger safeguards. Most everyday users won't notice what changed behind the scenes. But now that it's back, it's worth discovering what the model can actually do. According to Anthropic, Claude Fable 5 is designed to sustain longer, more complex tasks, reason across multiple images, verify its own work and complete projects that previously required several rounds of prompting. As someone who has tested it before it was pulled and after, I can honestly say it has held up to these promises. To show causal users how the model works, I decided to share some everyday prompts worth trying for yourself. To be fair, these prompts are a lot like having an English professor write a grocery list, but it does show off what Claude Fable 5 does best. 1. Plan an entire event from start to finish Prompt: Plan my kid's birthday party from start to finish: a theme, a guest list template, a shopping list with estimated costs, a two-week countdown checklist, and a rainy-day backup plan. Check your own work for anything I'd forget, then give me the final version. This prompt can be tweaked and reused for just about any event from personal to professional. It's one of the easiest ways to highlight how Claude can stay focused during a long, multi-step task. Older AI models often complete most of the request but quietly skip important details. Fable 5 is designed to keep track of everything while also reviewing its own work before finishing. 2. Turn your fridge into this week's meal plan Prompt: Here are photos of my fridge, pantry shelf and freezer. What can I make for dinner tonight without shopping? Then suggest the three grocery items that would unlock the most meals for the rest of the week. For most people, Claude isn't their first choice for meal prep. But this prompt asks Claude to do something much harder than simply analyze an image. It showcases the model's ability to reason across several different images, recognize overlapping ingredients and turn them into practical meal ideas. For an added bonus, you can even prompt Claude to create a meal prep app based on your preferences. Prompt it in plain English using the above prompt as a thought starter and then go from there. 3. Untangle confusing paperwork Prompt: Here's my lease, an email from my landlord and a photo of the notice taped to my door. In plain English, explain what's changing, what I'm responsible for, every deadline I should know about and the questions I should ask before signing anything. Real life is messy but to AI it's just a bunch of patterns. For that reason, leaning on AI to untangle confusing document, legal jargon or professional spreadsheets that seem overwhelming, can be useful. Important information rarely lives in one document, which makes this an excellent test of Claude's ability to connect information across multiple sources. Rather than simply summarizing each document individually, Claude combines everything into one easy-to-understand explanation, highlights important dates and points out anything that seems unclear or contradictory. As always, I'd treat this as informational help -- not legal advice. 4. Build me a tool, not just an answer Prompt: Research the best carry-on suitcases under $250, then build me an interactive comparison chart where I can change how much I care about weight, durability, warranty and price. This is another opportunity to use a prompt like this and then turn it into an app by simply adding, "Build a lightweight shopping tool for future purchases." After a few questions, Claude will build an app in real-time that you can use immediately. What I like about this prompt is instead of simply asking for recommendations, I'm asking Claude to research current products and then create something I can actually use to make a decision. 5. Give me honest feedback -- not compliments Prompt: Here's my draft. Don't just improve it. Tell me the three weakest parts, what someone reading it is likely to think and what I'm avoiding saying. Many AI assistants lean toward being overly encouraging. Claude happens to be one of the least people-pleasing of all the chatbots. Because of this, I often ask Claude for constructive criticism -- I know it will give it to me straight. When it comes to feedback, I'm less interested in grammar corrections and want to identify weak arguments, awkward phrasing or blind spots that I missed, that's the kind of response that actually helps improve productivity. Final thoughts Claude Fable 5 is making user interactions with AI feel more complete. The biggest promise isn't faster answers but far fewer interruptions and less need for follow-up prompts. .Fable 5 is designed to carry complex tasks all the way to the finish line while checking its own work along the way. If you already subscribe to Claude Pro, Max, Team or an eligible Enterprise plan, now is a good time to experiment. Through July 7, Fable 5 is included within part of your weekly usage allowance before moving to a usage-credit model, giving subscribers a chance to see what Anthropic's latest model can do without spending additional credits. One final note: don't be surprised if an occasional request gets redirected to Claude Opus instead. The redeployed version of Fable 5 includes stricter safety systems, and some prompts are automatically routed to another model. If you see that notification, it's working as intended -- not a bug.

Anthropic Tightens AI Access Controls After Reports of China-Based Workarounds
Anthropic is strengthening measures to prevent unauthorized access to its artificial intelligence services from China after discovering that several Chinese companies had allegedly bypassed its restrictions, according to a Financial Times report published Thursday. The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, said companies including Ant Financial and ByteDance found alternative ways to use Anthropic's Claude AI models despite the company's restrictions on access from China. According to the report, Ant Financial reportedly provided employees with corporate Claude accounts linked to its Singapore-based subsidiary, allowing staff to use the AI platform through an overseas entity. ByteDance, meanwhile, allegedly reimbursed engineers for personal Claude subscriptions that were accessed through virtual private networks (VPNs), enabling users to connect to the service from China. While these methods reportedly do not violate either U.S. or Chinese laws, they are said to breach Anthropic's terms of service. The AI startup prohibits Chinese companies, as well as foreign entities under their control, from accessing or using its Claude AI models. In response, Anthropic has intensified efforts to identify and block unauthorized users. The company is reportedly monitoring customer accounts for indicators such as mismatched computer time zones and other signs that users may be attempting to circumvent geographic restrictions. The Financial Times also reported that Anthropic is targeting so-called "transfer station" services, which act as intermediaries by relaying requests through Claude accounts registered outside China. These services have reportedly become one of the methods used to access the AI platform despite regional limitations. In addition, some organizations are said to have used overseas subsidiaries combined with foreign cloud infrastructure, including Microsoft Azure, to access Claude's AI capabilities. The reported crackdown highlights the growing challenge facing AI developers as they seek to enforce regional access restrictions while demand for advanced generative AI tools continues to expand globally. Anthropic's latest efforts underscore the company's focus on protecting its platform, complying with its policies, and preventing unauthorized use of its AI technology across restricted markets.
"That's human trafficking. Are you aware of that?": Malena Tudi and Nmplol's Discord messages surface
YouTuber Henry Resilient has shared screenshots of Discord messages between Malena Tudi and Nick "Nmplol." On July 2, 2026, Henry Resilient took to X to claim that Nmplol's divorce from Malena was "worse than he thought," and announced that he would be discussing the situation in an upcoming YouTube video. The content creator also shared two screenshots of Nick and Malena's Discord conversation from May 29, 2024, which contained the following text: Malena: "Nick. You're controlling me always. Always." Nmplol: "Hey re**rd." Malena: "And when I'm not controlled you lose your ****." Nmplol: "You're done nothing for 6 months. Stop gaslighing me." Malena: "^" Nmplol: "Jesus. That's not controlling you that's saying a fact. hello." Malena: "What about the bank account then?" Nmplol: "I asked my dad about that and he agrees." Malena: "Gaslighting me for years saying I'm crazy. Too crazy to be on the account." Nmplol: "My mom didn't have access to that at all." Malena: "With MY MONEY in it." Nmplol: "And she got her half when they divorced." Malena: "That's human trafficking are you aware of that?" Nmplol: "Lmao it's not." Malena: "It is. Working for free whilst controlling the money of a foriegn citizen." Nmplol confirms Discord messages between him and Malena Tudi are real, claims they are "exhibitions from his case that have been discussed, submitted, and scrutinized" by lawyers and judges On July 2, 2026, Nmplol commented on a thread on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, in which Felix "xQc" read the aforementioned Discord messages between him and Malena Tudi. According to the OTK (One True King) member, the Discord chat logs were evidence in his case, which had "already been discussed, submitted, and scrutinized by lawyers and judges": "These are exhibitions from my case that have already been discussed, submitted, and scrutinized by lawyers and judges. Out of context screenshots might sway some haters online but it had no bearing in the actual court that mattered." The 35-year-old then provided context for the text conversation between him and his ex-wife: "For context, this wasn't about having ACCESS to my account, which she had for years (Her own log in to my account), and had her own personal credit card (Attached to my account), it was for her to CO OWN my account which I said no. She could have withdrawn, sent funds etc., and had the same banking restrictions I had, I was just the owner. She wanted to have her name be right beside mine and I said no. The judge agreed with me as well that this IS NOT financial abuse. I am not going to relitigate my case with the lawyers of reddit. All of this stuff has been seen by actually qualified people and they came to the correct decision. Everything you are gonna see with that ugly watermark on it has been discussed by actual judges and lawyers." As of this writing, Malena Tudi has not issued a statement regarding the Discord messages that have surfaced on social media.
