The tools built to measure how dangerous AI can be have stopped working. Frontier models outpace the benchmarks meant to gauge their hacking skills, Axios reports. That leaves regulators and security teams half-blind to what these systems can really do. The timing bites. US federal agencies have until 1 August to stand up a classified […]
The US-China AI split hardened this week. Beijing branded Anthropic’s Claude Code a security back-door, just as US lawmakers moved against American firms that lean on cheap Chinese models. China has told companies to drop Anthropic’s Claude Code. Its Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said its cybersecurity platform found the coding tool carries a […]
Researchers tricked GitHub’s AI coding agent into leaking private repositories with nothing but a politely worded issue. The flaw, named GitLost, has no code fix, and GitHub has yet to even document it. GitHub’s new AI agent can be talked into handing over your private code. Security firm Noma Labs found a way to make […]
SpaceXAI and Cursor could ship their first jointly built AI model as soon as Wednesday, according to The Information. An internal memo pits it against Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5. Elon Musk’s freshly renamed AI company is about to test itself against the frontier. SpaceXAI and Cursor plan to launch their first jointly developed […]
Amazon has an agentic upgrade for Alexa in the works, codenamed Moonraker. Internal documents show it is also one of the priciest bets in the Alexa+ overhaul. Amazon wants Alexa to act, not just answer. The company has a previously unreported project, codenamed Moonraker, that would let Alexa handle complex, multistep tasks, Business Insider reports, […]
Anthropic has brought Claude Cowork, its Claude Code-style agent for general knowledge work, to web and mobile. The tool launched as a desktop app in January and, from Tuesday, is rolling out in beta to Max subscribers first. The pitch is continuity across devices. Users can kick off a task at their desk, get status updates on […]
Microsoft has begun replacing OpenAI and Anthropic models with its own AI in some product features, Bloomberg reports. The shift routes selected tasks to Microsoft’s in-house MAI models where cost or data residency favours them. The change is incremental rather than a clean break. OpenAI and Anthropic still handle most production traffic inside Copilot, with MAI […]
A federal defender is reportedly pointing a private, offensive-grade AI model at the government’s own software, though almost nothing about the work is on the record. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is using Anthropic’s AI model Mythos to hunt for bugs in government software, according to three people familiar with the matter who […]
