Episode 61 of Tech Week in Review (27 Jul–2 Aug 2026) is hosted by Nigel Dixon‑Fyle. This episode covers breakthrough AI developments, the biggest tech earnings week of the year, and the shifting economics of frontier models and memory supply.
Key stories include Anthropic’s restricted Mythos model performing rapid cryptanalysis—halving the key strength of a NIST post‑quantum signature candidate (Hawk) and inventing the “Mobius Bridge” that speeds attacks on AES — what that means for defenders and security.
We break down earnings for Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and supply‑constrained AI demand. Model launches and cost shifts — Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5 pricing changes, the open KIMI K3 3T weights release, and the memory “Ramageddon” driving device price hikes — and the episode’s final takeaway.
