White House Pushes Back On Anthropic Mythos Expansion
The White House is pushing back on Anthropic’s plan to widen Mythos availability, a powerful AI model built for cybersecurity work, because officials fear it could create national security and compute risks.
Details:
Anthropic reportedly wants to let about 70 more companies and organizations use Mythos, after roughly 50 already had permission, raising the total user base to around 120
The concern is that Mythos can help detect software flaws, but its ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities could also become dangerous if the rollout expands too quickly
Officials are also worried Anthropic may not have enough computing power to serve more outside users without limiting government use of the same advanced model
This shows the next AI race is not just about better models. It is also about availability, safety, compute, and who gets priority when the stakes are this high.

xAI Launches Grok 4.3 With Better Agent Skills and Lower API Costs
xAI has launched Grok 4.3, its latest recommended API model. It scores 53 on Artificial Analysis, ranks above Muse Spark and Claude Sonnet 4.6, and beats Grok 4.20 by 4 points while costing less to evaluate.
Details:
Benchmark cost is $395, about 20% lower than Grok 4.20. Input pricing fell 37.5%, output pricing fell 58.3%, even though Grok 4.3 used around 44% more output tokens in testing
The biggest jump is agentic work. Grok 4.3 scored 1500 Elo on GDPval-AA, up 321 points, beating Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Muse Spark, GPT-5.4 mini and Kimi K2.5, but still behind GPT-5.5
It also reached 98% on τ²-Bench Telecom, kept 81% on IFBench, and gained 8 points in AA-Omniscience accuracy. But non-hallucination fell 8 points, so reliability is still the watch point
Vercel added Grok 4.3 with a 1M token context window, better tool calling and instruction following. The real pitch is clear: stronger AI agents at a lower cost.

How to Build an Automated Product Ad Generator
Creating product ads often requires multiple tools and lots of manual work. This tutorial shows how to use ElevenLabs Flows to combine image and video generation into one reusable workflow for any product.
Launch Flows
Go to ElevenLabs, navigate to ElevenCreative > Flows, and tap + New Flow.
Name template
Give the flow a reusable name, such as:
skincare serum ad template
wireless earbuds ad template
summer drink ad template
Add product images
Insert an Image Generation node. Upload 1 to 3 product photos so the tool has clear references to work from.
Write image prompt
Describe the scene you want.
Example prompt:
“Create a polished studio setup for the product in the reference images, placed on a clean stone block, soft natural window light, realistic shadows, premium commercial product photography”Add video node
Insert a Video Generation node. Connect the image node output to the video node so the generated image becomes the first frame.
Write video prompt
Describe the motion you want.
Prompt:
“Smooth cinematic move toward the product, gentle light sweep across the surface, soft background blur, refined luxury ad style, clean commercial motion”Run and iterate
Press Run on the video node, then choose Run till here to generate both the image and video together. Then test small changes to the prompts, such as:
background style
camera movement
lighting mood
Note: Use small motion in the video prompt. Slow camera moves often look more natural for product ads than dramatic movement.
