The maker of the Claude chatbot filed for an IPO yesterday that would value the company at more than a trillion dollars.

Puts it right smack in the middle of this race with OpenAI and SpaceX.

Both are planning to go public this year.

Now, that was the headline-grabbing news that kind of buried another important development.

Anthropic is offering the European Union access to its AI model, Mythos.

Here to discuss is the FT's Laura Dubois in Brussels.

Hi, Laura.

Hi.

Hi.

So how big of a deal is this?

Yeah, and just to drill down on those concerns, people are worried that Mythos could actually be so sophisticated that it's basically working too well, right?

That it could outpace current cybersecurity defenses.

Laura, are there conditions that address those concerns that the EU wants in its deal with Anthropic?

How does this all fit into the EU's larger goals?

Because I know that they are focusing a lot on tech right now.

That's the FT's Laura Dubois.

Thanks, Laura.

The U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran is in its third month, and Tehran is calling it quits on peace talks for now.

Yesterday, Iran halted back-channel negotiations with Washington, as according to Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

Tasnim said Iran is protesting Israel's further expansion into Lebanon.
