OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family (Sol, Terra and Luna) is now in limited preview with around 20 government-vetted partners, while Anthropic's Fable 5 remains blocked and Mythos 5 has only been partially restored to a small group of critical infrastructure organisations. The most powerful AI models won't necessarily be available to everyone at the same time. AI is becoming slightly more regulated, and access is becoming a competitive advantage. UK greenwashing crackdown, and it has teeth now. The Advertising Standards Authority banned ads from Adidas, Uniqlo and Calvin Klein for using the word "recycled" in ways they couldn't substantiate at product level. Broad category claims are now a regulatory risk, claim-level evidence is the new standard. The British Business Bank committed £90m to 10 first-time VC fund managers under its Investor Pathways Capital initiative. 57% of GPs are women, 43% from ethnic minority backgrounds. Western States is one of the world’s most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons, run each year in California from Olympic Valley to Auburn through mountains, canyons and heat. This year’s race was unusually fast, with both the men’s and women’s course records broken, including the men’s winner taking the record by 23 minutes. That came down to a mix of cooler conditions, a much deeper elite field, and increasingly professional preparation across the sport. ✌️✌️
