- Untold riches: It finally happened. SpaceX shares made their Nasdaq debut, sending the company's value past $2 trillion and turning Elon Musk into the world's first trillionaire. Global reaction to SpaceX’s public listing has spanned investor euphoria to admiration among fans and sharp criticism from politicians and members of the public who see him as a symbol of rising global inequality.
- Jailbreaking: Anthropic said it will "abruptly disable" its most advanced AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The company received the export control directive to suspend access without being given specific details of its national security concern.

- Protection: The FDA granted emergency approval for an over-the-counter drug that can treat screwworm in pets. Nitenpyram tablets can be used for pets weighing at least 2 pounds and at least four weeks old. The U.S. is trying to beat back the parasite despite staff cuts and the shortage of sterile male flies. The USDA’s efforts are not impressing cattle farmers.
- Resistance: An Italian study found antibiotic-resistant genes across the world’s oceans. The projects demonstrate how oceans can serve as an early warning system for global health risks, scientists said.
