# AI News Digest - 2026-06-24

1. ASML shipped high-numerical-aperture (high-NA) EUV lithography machines priced at about $400 million each, enabling production of chips with features down to roughly eight nanometers and increasing transistor density; Intel purchased the first high-NA unit.

2. Anthropic had developed the Mythos model and released a modified public version called Fable; the US government determined Fable posed a national security threat, imposed export controls, and Anthropic revoked access to both models.

3. OpenAI released GPT-5.5-Cyber, expanded its Daybreak cybersecurity initiative with an updated Codex Security plugin and a partner network of more than 25 security firms and several governments, and reported that GPT-5.5-Cyber outperformed Anthropic's Mythos on a cybersecurity benchmark.

4. ByteDance introduced Seedance 2.5, a video-generation model that breached the 30-second video-length barrier, and announced it would launch in early July alongside four other models at its Volcano Engine FORCE conference.

5. Cursor announced its first AI model trained entirely in-house and unveiled a new Git-based development platform and a mobile application.
