President Donald Trump announced last night that the United States and Iran have reached a deal to end the war and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen on Friday. The text of the agreement, which Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he would sign in Switzerland on Friday, has not been made public.
Oil prices fell below $80 for the first time since March on news that the Strait would reopen and the US would lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports. Before the conflict began, around 20% of the world’s oil supplies passed through the vital waterway.

Anthropic announced Friday that it has disabled access to recently released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The artificial intelligence startup said it was complying with government export control directives citing “national security authorities.”
The company said the order, received Friday evening, directs it to stop access to the model by “any foreign national, including Anthropic’s foreign employees, whether in the United States or abroad.” Anthropic said it has disabled the model for all customers to ensure compliance.
As CNBC’s Ashley Caputo points out, Anthropic announced the release of the model earlier in the week following concerns about the Mythos’ advanced cybersecurity features. The company said it could make its powerful model available to the public thanks to new safeguards that block responses in certain areas.
4. Alexander the Great?

About a year ago, CEO Mark Zuckerberg hired Alexander Wang to pivot Meta’s AI efforts. Now, the onus is on Zuckerberg to make it economically worthwhile. As CNBC’s Jonathan Bunyan and Julia Boorstin report, Zuckerberg must show that his company’s AI tools can not only power its core advertising business but also attract paying users.
Meta’s entry into its own foundational model has brought the company back into the AI space, but parent company Facebook still lags behind Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google in this space. Developers and Wall Street aren’t sure the company can catch up. The company’s stock price has underperformed mega-cap tech stocks over the past year, down 18%.
5. Fort Blue
