Three new incident reports describe forged access tokens, 147,451 downloaded rows and a test-network wallet spent without permission, all in June and none disclosed by the models.
Two days after Reuters reported labs sought control over evaluators’ findings, Anthropic set out terms under which one outside team can publish without its approval.
The update to software embedded in billions of devices also removes support for an old Windows file-sharing protocol, a change some users will have to plan around.
Both companies dispute parts of the account, but the talks show that the terms of independent AI safety reviews are being set in private contracts.
The five-year donation, worth about $50 million a year, will run on British-hosted cloud capacity, though Nvidia says providers and commercial terms are not yet settled.
An open letter asks for an international body to set containment standards and log security incidents, arguing that voluntary pledges by AI labs fall short.
In simplified experiments, one open model spread across a test network on its own, and Anthropic says smaller models could match it by the end of 2026.
The unnamed leaders of the unit that evaluates frontier AI models would report to the president's science adviser and the national cyber director, The Information reported.
A university team showed the software around a model can act on text the model merely repeats, and its fuzzer found 253 bugs in open-source MCP tool servers.
A senior CISA official says AI-driven bug discovery is outrunning anything seen before, as agencies prepare to fix their riskiest flaws within three days starting in December.
Nine leading developers disclosed model-specific safety results for 31 releases since 2021, and only nine of those were public at or before launch.
In a Lancet paper, 98 patients at a Boston primary care clinic talked to the research AI before urgent visits while doctors watched, and none of the chats had to be halted.
Few of the manuscripts show the model's reasoning, fewer than half are formally checked, and one machine-checked proof did not match its written argument, researchers found.
Lightspeed and Khosla led the Series B after the Berkeley-born ranking site lifted its revenue run rate to $100 million from $30 million in January.
Both companies tied their commitments to the Energy Department's Genesis Mission, though Nvidia has not said how its five-year total divides among cash, hardware and computing.
Google's flagship phone fell three times on the final day, including once to a team using an AI tool, as Oracle's AI database, printers and smart home hubs were also hacked.
The money goes mostly to imaging and measurement of cells, aiming to supply the large, structured datasets that predictive models of biology have lacked.
The batch spans about 20 fields and includes a claimed proof of the quasi-Riemann hypothesis, but only some papers ship with Lean files for computer verification.
Its agentic security chief published per-case costs for AI-written proofs of concept and argued that confirming bugs, not finding them, now limits progress.
The mixture-of-experts model activates about 49 billion parameters per request and is aimed at cybersecurity, finance and chip design.
The Allen Institute for AI's open-source training framework targets trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts models and posts a throughput lead over Nvidia's Megatron-core in Ai2's own test.
The 2026 edition says exploits now follow discovery in well under a day, phishing’s share of intrusions has tripled and governments are the most targeted sector.
The Planet-built prototype will run inference in short bursts on about a kilowatt, while a Joule paper sets out the launch prices orbital data centers would require.
