This week’s AI recap focuses on the fallout from the Fable event, which triggered a broad realignment across the industry. The episode highlights a shift toward open models, model routing, local control, and a retreat from reliance on any single frontier system. Key developments include the release of GLM 5.2, OpenRouter’s Fusion tool, SpaceX’s acquisition of Cursor, and Europe’s scramble for AI sovereignty. The overarching theme is a more fragmented, strategic, and contested model ecosystem.
