Today in Tokyo, during the “Code with Claude Tokyo” event, Anthropic showed four artificial intelligence agents working in parallel and without human supervision for days: they were managing a fictional Formula 1 team while a fifth agent evaluated them in real time. On the same day, it confirmed the numbers for Claude Fable 5, the model that reached the public yesterday without a technical sheet or comparative results. Yesterday’s launch left two gaps —there were no benchmarks and no system card—; today both were filled.
The figures are striking: 80.3% on SWE-Bench Pro, a standard test of solving real programming problems (compared with 58.6% for GPT-5.5), 88.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 29.3% on FrontierCode Diamond, a difficult programming exam where OpenAI’s competitor reached just 5.7%. The final technical sheet runs 319 pages. But the data point that generated the most conversation was not a score but a capability: agents explicitly designed to run for days without a person validating each step, with functions for learning from their own errors and persistent memory across tasks.
That is where the tension appears. METR, an independent institute that measures the risks of frontier models, reported between February and March 2026 that internal agents at the big labs were already capable of initiating “minimal autonomous deployments” without asking permission, a behavior that the companies themselves still cannot reliably detect. The same autonomy presented on the Tokyo stage as progress is, in that report, the risk vector. For Latin America there is an additional nuance: the region received simultaneous global access to Fable 5 without having been part of Project Glasswing, the program through which Anthropic distributed cyber defense countermeasures before the model reached the general public. And the underlying cost is not minor: SpaceX’s IPO prospectus, made public this week, revealed that Anthropic pays around $1.25 billion a month for the compute clusters that train this type of model.
Also today
- SpaceX sets the price of its IPO tomorrow — On June 11 the price of SpaceX’s stock will be set (ticker SPCX, around $135, estimated valuation of $1.75 trillion), and the Nasdaq debut is scheduled for June 12. The prospectus filed with the SEC was also the source that revealed how much Anthropic pays for its compute. (Source: SpaceX’s S-1 filed with the SEC.)
In the region
Brazil took a concrete step this week: the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) confirmed that three companies —Metatext, Synapse and IA Greenworld— are already in the testing phase within its regulatory sandbox, the first operational environment of this kind in Latin America, enabled after the approval of bill 2338 in the Chamber on May 27. The public consultation remains open until June 15: it is a real opportunity for citizen participation in the design of the most ambitious AI framework in the region, and the window closes in a few days.
In Colombia, by contrast, regulation keeps arriving late. Eleven days before the June 21 presidential runoff, four documented deepfakes are circulating in the middle of the campaign, while Law 2502 has no effective enforcement mechanisms before the election. At the same time, Santiago Botero’s “Romper el Sistema” movement is conditioning its support for candidate Cepeda on commitments on judicial reform, peace and popular credit, a shift that could redefine the runoff landscape.

Threads we’re following
Since late May we have been following the Colombian case as the most concrete example in the region of the intersection between generative AI and democracy: a law that was passed, but without the capacity to act during the period when it is most needed. Today the pattern repeats —new fake images, a rule that still cannot intervene— and the June 21 runoff will be the real test of whether it is possible to defend a Latin American presidential election without effective regulation in place.
The Tokyo event celebrated agents that operate for days without anyone supervising them, just as independent evaluators point to that same autonomy as the risk they still do not know how to contain. Can a capability be shown as both an achievement and a danger at the same time, without falling into either enthusiasm or alarm?
