- Asian AI fills the Mythos gap: Sakana Fugu, 360 Tulongfeng, and the export-ban vacuum →
TechCrunch reports Tokyo's Sakana Fugu and China's 360 Tulongfeng stepping into the space Anthropic left when export controls pulled Mythos offline. We connect the dots across fifteen days of bans, distillation wars, and partial US restores.
- Sakana Fugu: One Model API to Orchestrate All the Others →
Sakana AI's Fugu Ultra launched June 22 with bold benchmark claims against Fable 5 and Mythos. Within 24 hours, Ethan Mollick and other testers reported 30-minute shader runs, ~$6 per demo, and output that does not match Fable in real use — despite strong published scores. Here is what the Harbor bench reveals.
- AI-Driven De-Skilling: Why Vibe Coding Is Producing Developers Who Cannot Debug →
A growing body of evidence confirms what senior engineers have been warning: AI coding tools boost short-term output at the cost of long-term skill formation. Anthropic's 2026 RCT found a 17% comprehension deficit. BairesDev's global survey reports 24% of juniors cannot write code from scratch without AI. The epistemic debt is real — and preventable.
