A Data Leak Revealed Anthropic's Most Powerful AI Yet: Claude Mythos
A misconfigured data store at Anthropic exposed nearly 3,000 internal documents, including a draft announcement for a next-gen model called Claude Mythos (codename: Capybara). Anthropic confirmed it's real — describing it as "a step change" above Opus 4.6, with dramatically higher coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity scores. The draft also flagged "unprecedented cybersecurity risks." The leak came days before a second breach exposed Claude Code's source code.

Artemis II Has Launched. Humans Are Heading to the Moon for the First Time Since 1972.
NASA's Artemis II lifted off April 1 with four astronauts aboard — the first crewed moonshot in 53 years. They're not landing; the mission loops around the moon and returns in 10 days, getting farther from Earth than any humans ever have. It's a dress rehearsal for Artemis III (2027), which will actually land on the lunar surface. The launch had been delayed multiple times since late 2024. Wednesday's liftoff ended over a year of waiting.

Anthropic Cuts Claude Subscription Coverage for Third-Party AI Tools
From April 4, Claude subscriptions no longer cover usage on third-party agent tools like OpenClaw. Users now need extra usage bundles or a direct API key. The reason: automated agents were making thousands of API calls per day, way beyond what a flat monthly plan was priced for. Anthropic is offering one-time credits to soften the transition.
