Anthropic in talks with Microsoft to run Claude on custom Maia 200 chips via Azure

Anthropic is in early-stage talks with Microsoft as of May 2026 to rent Azure servers powered by Microsoft's custom Maia 200 AI accelerators for Claude inference, according to reports. The Maia 200 was announced in January 2026 and is built on TSMC's 3nm process with 216GB HBM3e memory. Microsoft claims the chip delivers 30% better performance per dollar than the latest-generation hardware in its own fleet. No deal has been signed and both companies declined direct comment, but the discussions represent a test of whether Microsoft's custom silicon can serve external customers beyond internal workloads.

CISA: Ray CVE-2025-62593 (RCE via browser) actively exploited; federal patch deadline Aug 20

CISA added CVE-2025-62593 (CVSS 9.4) affecting Ray, an open-source Python framework for scaling AI/ML workloads, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on August 17, 2026. The flaw enables unauthenticated remote code execution via DNS rebinding through standard web browsers (Firefox, Safari), affecting Ray versions before 2.52.0. Federal civilian executive branch agencies must remediate by August 20, 2026; private organizations are urged to follow suit.

Spline V2 integrates MCP; Claude Code can now edit 3D scenes live in real-time with full undo/sync

Spline, the browser-based 3D design platform, rebuilt its desktop editor from the ground up and integrated it with Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling Claude Code and other coding agents to manipulate 3D scenes natively. Spline V2 bundles an MCP server directly into the desktop application (macOS, Windows) that registers with Claude Code and other AI clients upon launch. Developers can now prompt Claude to generate or modify 3D scenes (e.g., "create a floating island"), and the agent converts those requests into MCP tool calls. The editable scene syncs back to Spline in real-time via the same connection, appearing in undo history and shared projects without requiring designers to re-export static meshes.

Anthropic deploys Claude Mythos 5 in Claude Security; $35M open-source vulnerability fund, enterprise access expands

Anthropic is now running its Claude Security vulnerability scanning tool on Claude Mythos 5, the frontier cyber-defense model previously limited to vetted defenders in Project Glasswing. Claude Security is available in public beta for all Claude Enterprise customers today, with no separate model add-on—scans bill as standard token usage ($10 per million input tokens, $50 per million output tokens). The scans connect to GitHub repositories, trace data flows across files, and return findings with CWE categories, confidence/severity ratings, and suggested patches.
