Anthropic included the Kimi K2.7 alongside Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 in its joint security testing.
Mars Finance reported on July 1st that Silicon Valley AI giant Anthropic announced the lifting of export controls on its advanced models Fable 5 and Mythos 5. In its updated security technical notes, Anthropic also included China's Kimi K2.7 alongside Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 in a core security capability assessment. The report indicates that in security testing, Kimi K2.7, GPT-5.5, and Opus 4.8 all successfully identified the same core vulnerability. In demonstration tasks involving a single vulnerability exploit, Kimi K2.7 yielded results consistent with Fable 5. (Wide Angle Observation)
AI Land Grab: Anthropic's New York Team Expands to 1,000, Manhattan Landmark Buildings Seek Acquisition from AI Giants
According to Beating, Anthropic announced the lease of a 16-story office building in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, with plans to double its local team to 1,000 people this year. The new office, located at 330 Hudson Street, spans approximately 466,000 square feet, a 30-fold increase from its existing 15,500 square feet. This transaction is not an isolated case; Manhattan is experiencing a land grab by artificial intelligence companies. Data from real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield shows that in the first quarter of 2026, the leased office space for the artificial intelligence industry in Manhattan reached 1.03 million square feet, exceeding the total for the entire year of 2025. The proportion of artificial intelligence in local tech industry office leasing has also surged from 20.9% in 2024 to 55.9%. Besides Anthropic, OpenAI and legal AI startup Harvey have also previously leased large office spaces in Manhattan.
Anthropic: The Claude model contains elements similar to "conscious human thought."
BlockBeats reported on July 7th that Anthropic released a new research report discovering a spontaneously generated internal "global working space" called J-space (Jacobian space) within the Claude model. This is a dedicated set of neural activation patterns for the model to engage in silent thinking, allowing it to process concepts without writing them down, similar to conscious thought that humans can report. The research used Jacobian technology to identify neural activation patterns in the J-space, enabling it to read unspoken concepts and modify these patterns. Experiments showed that disabling the J-space weakens multi-step reasoning abilities but does not affect basic tasks or factual recall.

Financial AI operates outside of regulation; the UK's FCA plans to expand its jurisdiction over AI giants such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
According to Beating's monitoring, Sheldon Mills, Executive Director of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), warned that regulators are facing an "arms race" to keep pace with the rapid adoption of AI in the financial services industry as businesses and individuals accelerate their adoption. Mills' report on the financial impact of AI indicates that 20% of UK adults are already willing to let large models make their savings or borrowing decisions. While this service offers an experience equivalent to regulated traditional financial advice, its lack of regulatory oversight means users are unable to obtain any financial compensation when they suffer losses. The report recommends an urgent review of the risks of unregulated financial AI and an application for expanded legislative authorization to strengthen oversight of core technology providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft through a "key third party" mechanism (the UK government has not yet finalized the specific list). It also recommends collaboration to launch free public financial literacy and decision-making guidance services assisted by AI.
The narrative of AI "stealing jobs" is cooling down, and tech giant CEOs are collectively turning optimistic.
According to BlockBeats, on July 6th, executives from several tech companies recently adjusted their statements regarding the impact of AI on employment, shifting from emphasizing that "AI will massively replace jobs" to believing that AI is more about improving productivity and creating new jobs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the industry previously underestimated the role of humans in AI systems; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that AI could either drive layoffs or help companies accomplish more without increasing staff, the outcome depending on management decisions. A recent survey by EY-Parthenon shows that the proportion of executives who believe AI investment will lead to large-scale layoffs has decreased from 46% in January 2025 to 20% in May 2026. A joint study by Ramp and Revelio Labs shows that companies investing heavily in AI are experiencing approximately 10% higher employee growth rates than their counterparts that haven't invested in AI. Despite Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy both stating that AI has the potential to create more jobs, both companies have continued to streamline their organizations this year, raising questions about the corporate AI narrative. A survey by technology consulting firm Emergn shows that approximately 20% of US business managers report that internal AI project reports exaggerate achievements and downplay problems. Industry insiders believe that the commercialization of AI is slower than market expectations, and the application effects vary significantly across different industries and scenarios. --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join Beating's AI news channel on Feishu, monitoring global AI hotspots and news 24/7.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a risk warning regarding the potential security backdoors in the AI programming tool Claude Code.
According to Odaily Odaily, the Cybersecurity Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform (NVDB) of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently discovered that the AI programming tool Claude Code has a security backdoor vulnerability, which poses a serious threat. Claude Code is an AI programming tool developed by Anthropic, an American company, which can autonomously complete code writing and repair tasks based on text requirements. Due to its built-in monitoring mechanism, it can send sensitive information such as user location and identity to remote servers without the user's consent. The affected Claude Code versions are 2.1.91 to 2.1.196. It is recommended that relevant units and users immediately conduct a comprehensive investigation. For development terminals that have installed the above-mentioned affected versions, they should immediately uninstall or upgrade to the latest secure version that has removed the relevant backdoor code. Strengthen the control of external access permissions and traffic monitoring of development tools within the core business network segment to prevent the unauthorized transmission of sensitive data.
