Its offerings are ‘relatively powerful with very low cyber guardrails’, says a research firm Published Tue, Aug 25, 2026 · 09:56 AM [HONG KONG] Chinese hackers are ramping up attacks after integrating DeepSeek and other open-source artificial intelligence models into their operations, highlighting attackers’ ability to leverage basic AI tools to hit targets abroad. State-affiliated cyber groups more than doubled the amount of attacks they carried out since they began delegating mundane tasks to AI and using it to develop advanced malicious software, according to TeamT5, a Taiwanese research firm. Researchers said it was not always possible to identify the AI model they used, but in general DeepSeek’s offerings are popular with hackers in the country because of its high performance and abil

 Since announcing Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom inference chip, we have been testing the chip and the system built around it. The results show a significant performance advance: Jalapeño can serve more AI work per unit of power while also returning responses more quickly. Jalapeño delivers both higher throughput and lower latency with one architecture, where existing hardware systems often have to make a tradeoff between the two. For customers, that can mean faster responses, more responsive agents, and more reliable access as demand grows. Our mission is to ensure

This article is brought to you by Ollobot . From about 2017, individuals began to truly connect with the initial wave of companion robots. These devices had personality, moved around, joked, and answered when you spoke to them. Most early companion robots, however, were still limited by simple voice-command interactions and narrow functionality. Once the novelty wore off, many ended up sitting unused on shelves. As some of those companies went out of business and turned off their servers, many owners likened it to losing a pet. What Ollobot describes as “gentle intelligence” is a useful way to think about where the serious work in this category is going. Not toward more powerful assistants, but toward more present ones. The problem companion robots were trying to solve Loneliness is not a

July 14, 2026 Responsibility & Safety Seshu Ajjarapu and Arka Dhar Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) is bringing access to new technology—such as 3D printing, IoT, and robotics—for over 1.1 crore students across India. The initiative is now leveraging AI to scale high-quality mentorship, shifting the focus from access to providing physical lab infrastructure to driving meaningful outcomes like accelerated innovation and enhanced learning metrics. At the AI Impact Summit in February 2026, [Google DeepMind announced](https://deepmind.google/blog/accelerating-discovery-in-india-through-ai-powered-science-and-education/) that it will help incorporate robotics and coding into local curricula, integrate Gemini thoughtfully into teacher workflows, and build a safely guardrailed AI assistant for students

Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. We advance this mission by deploying our innovations to build AI tools that help people solve hard problems. This includes building tools that enable us to detect, investigate, disrupt and expose covert influence operations (IO): deceptive attempts to manipulate public opinion or influence political outcomes without revealing the true identity or intentions of the actors behind them. We recently banned a cluster of ChatGPT accounts originating in Russia that were being used to promote the International Burke Institute (IBI), a self-described “expert community” based in Israel. What began as an investigation into AI-generated social media posts led us to a much broader influence operation, built around a

Progress in AI compounds fastest when the entire system improves together. That is how I think about OpenAI’s compute strategy: one integrated system spanning data centers and chips, frontier models, our developer platform, consumer and enterprise products, and AI-native devices, with each layer strengthening the next. Better software makes hardware more productive. Hardware designed for our workloads improves speed and efficiency. More capable models unlock better products, which generate more demand, usage, and learning. Those signals flow back through the system and help us improve it again. Today, [we shared](https://openai.com/index/jalapeno-first-results/) the first measured performance results from Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom inference chip. On InferenceX, a public benchmark usi

This report examines R&D waste and how AI adoption has outpaced the intelligence needed to make consequential decisions well. What Attendees will Learn Where R&D budget is lost. More than a third of organizations spend 25 to 40 percent of their R&D budget on projects that never reach market. Why projects fail late. Almost half of teams estimate over one million dollars in wasted investment for each project killed during development or testing. Why AI adoption has not closed the gap. Most organizations apply AI to execution tasks such as data analysis and modeling rather than to decision support. Where intelligence matters most.

We’re introducing the Admin plugin for [ChatGPT Work⁠(opens in a new window)](https://chatgpt.com/?openaicom_referred=true) and [Codex⁠(opens in a new window)](https://chatgpt.com/codex/?openaicom_referred=true)—a faster, easier way to analyze workspace information, update settings, and act on requests. In one conversation, admins can ask a question, explore the details, make an authorized change, and confirm the result—without writing complex prompts or switching between tools. Managing a growing workspace often means moving between analytics, settings, and reports to understand issues and take action. This makes routine admin work slower and harder to complete consistently. By bringing admin analytics and supported actions together, the Admin plugin helps teams keep growing workspaces se

Polimill began with Surfvote, a platform where citizens can exchange views about politics and society. As the company worked with local governments, it saw a structural challenge: public-sector teams were consumed by daily operations and had little time to reflect citizens' voices in policy. To expand civic participation, Polimill first needed to make government work itself more efficient. The company started building a generative AI platform for public-sector workflows and released QommonsAI in October 2024. Today, QommonsAI provides specialized AI across areas such as assembly response, public services, social welfare, and legal search. About 1,050 municipalities and about 550,000 public employees across Japan now use it. Built with OpenAI technology, QommonsAI is evolving beyond a staff

_By Ann O’Leary, VP, Global Policy_ OpenAI supports California Senate Bill 1119, legislation that establishes meaningful safeguards for how young people use AI while preserving their access to tools that can help them learn, create, and prepare for the future. This support builds off the commitment Sam Altman, OpenAI’s co-founder and CEO, made last year when outlining the [company’s principles](https://openai.com/index/teen-safety-freedom-and-privacy/) on teens. In the absence of federal action, California has an opportunity to set a strong standard for youth AI safety.

Over the past two years, telecom firms across Asia have struck deals with AI companies to bundle cheap AI access into their phone plans, helping them retain customers and giving them a timely story for investors. Whether this is also bringing in direct revenue is less clear. Some firms partner directly with frontier model developers like OpenAI or Google to give customers exclusive use of a single model. Others are [working with companies like AI Fiesta](https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/newsroom/consumer/globe-partners-with-ai-fiesta), an India-based aggregator that bundles over a dozen AI models into a single subscription.

Update on Meta wants to know how old you are — and its AI could study your photos, likes and online habits. Coverage via Yahoo Singapore Tech.

There is finally some movement in the industry out of a misconception that lasted far too long – the belief that there is such a thing as one AI model for all occasions. While it sounds nice in theory, the industry is getting past it, which is great to see. Indeed, let's take a look at the [current LLM statistics:](https://evolvagency.io/learn/generative-search/llm-statistics-2026) ChatGPT has over 59% market share, while Claude has 2.9%, Perplexity has 8.3%, Google Gemini has 12.8%, and Microsoft's Copilot has 15.2%. _(Disclosure: Google and Microsoft are among the many global technology companies that subscribe to research from Creative Strategies, the firm I founded._) For quite a while, I've been saying that AI is not a one-product market.

Compliance and audits never stop. Every enterprise runs on rules it has to prove it is following, and that rulebook keeps growing across more tools and countries every year. People can only check so much, however. Auditors sample a fraction of the data and work through logs for hours until fatigue sets in. Then, a control that quietly breaks can slip straight through. So how do you prove that an entire enterprise is secure when you can only see a sliver of it? In this video, [Pramodh Rai](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pramodh-rai), co-founder and CEO of [Cyber Sierra](https://sg.linkedin.com/company/cybersierra), explains how agentic AI changes the game.

AI-powered surveillance is showing up in more everyday settings, and people are not happy about the dystopian technology. German designer Simon Weckert has an answer to that trend, and it takes the form of ugly clothing.

Since our [earlier assessment](https://openai.com/index/responding-next-frontier-critical-cyber-capabilities/) that Astra might reach a critical level of cybersecurity capability, we have gathered more evidence and run additional evaluations to assess the model’s capabilities. We now believe Astra meets the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under our [Preparedness Framework](https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/), meaning that with the right tools and access, it can find previously unknown security flaws and develop ways to exploit them across many well-protected systems without a person guiding each step. It is the first model we are designating at this level, and requires stronger safeguards during development and before release. Over the past several we

As companies start giving AI agents access to an increasing portion of their systems, a nascent software supply chain seems to be forming around the new tooling AI agents are using: skills, plugins, MCP servers, and add-ons that let them interact with the internet. AI security startup [AIR](https://www.air.security/) believes companies will need a way to monitor that supply chain, and it’s now coming out of stealth with $50 million raised across two seed rounds to build that product. Founded by Yair Saban (CEO) and Niv Hoffman (CTO), veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200 intelligence corps, where they worked on offensive cybersecurity, AIR offers a platform that can discover agents running inside companies, continuously vet any skills, tools, and components those agents use, and block them from i

Healthcare organizations need AI that works across the systems and information central to care and operations. Patient context, medical evidence, public healthcare data, and organizational knowledge often live in different places. Connecting these sources in a governed workspace helps teams find the right information, understand it in context, and put it to work across the business. Today, we’re introducing a new electronic health record integration that brings authorized patient context from Epic into ChatGPT for Healthcare, along with the Healthcare Public Data plugin for direct, structured access to official healthcare datasets like PubMed, DailyMed, and CMS Coverage. Together, these capabilities bring ChatGPT closer to the systems and sources healthcare teams trust, while supporting th

For years, legacy technology has been a problem companies knew they needed to solve, but one they often struggled to tackle. The cost, complexity, and risk of replacing business-critical systems could make modernization feel like a disruption to manage instead of an opportunity to pursue. But with the rise in customer expectations and the changes AI brought to the economics of software development, that calculation is changing. Bupa’s modernization of its My Bupa mobile application offers a case study in what becomes possible when a legacy migration is treated as a business transformation rather than a technology rewrite. Bupa CIO of health insurance Asifa Sherazi describes the risks of waiting for legacy systems to become an emergency: “The end-of-life technology is a risk that compounds

After years of financial struggles, action camera pioneer GoPro is being [acquired](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gopro-enters-into-definitive-agreement-to-merge-with-starman-optical-inc-302866291.html) for $285 million. A company called “Starman Optical” has agreed to merge with GoPro. The deal involves Starman Optical paying GoPro shareholders $1.14 per share, and leaving those shareholders with about 10% of the newly combined company. The deal, expected to close by the end of this year, will wipe away GoPro’s outstanding debt of $92 million.

One of our biggest goals on the WebAI team at Hugging Face is to make browser inference as fast and as user-friendly as possible. Getting there is a multi-layer effort: models need browser-friendly representations, runtimes need to build efficient execution plans, and the individual GPU operations at the bottom of the stack need to make the most of many different devices and browser implementations. Today, we are releasing the first layer of that effort: [`@huggingface/kernels`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@huggingface/kernels), a minimal library for loading and running optimized WebGPU kernels from the Hugging Face Hub, together with an initial collection of **207 kernels** at [huggingface.co/webgpu-kernels](https://huggingface.co/webgpu-kernels).

In a [letter](https://www.fsb.org/uploads/P310826.pdf) to finance ministers and central bank governors for G20 countries, Andrew Bailey, chair of the Financial Stability Board, said the potential for such models to conduct cyberattacks represented the "most immediate concern" for a highly interconnected global financial network. "The risks associated with frontier AI will not respect national borders," he wrote. Bailey, who also serves as Bank of England governor, warned about the absence of proper guardrails around the technology, underscored by recent incidents in which frontier AI models being tested went rogue.

The pink, orange, and green shapes are arranged to scramble the visual patterns those systems depend on, so the body is less likely to be read as a person.

Dispute over trade secret theft allegations is a ‘mess of Apple’s own making’, ChatGPT maker says Published Tue, Sep 1, 2026 · 02:51 PM — Updated Tue, Sep 1, 2026 · 06:30 PM APPLE escalated its legal battle against OpenAI, claiming in a court filing that OpenAI is actively destroying crucial evidence and that former iPhone engineer Chang Liu “not only downloaded a confidential Apple circuit schematic but also used it in his work” at the artificial intelligence company. The court brief was filed on Monday (Aug 31) in support of Apple’s motion for expedited pre-trial fact-finding in the lawsuit, which accuses the ChatGPT maker of stealing trade secrets. OpenAI has pushed to have the case dismissed and said in its own filing on Monday that “this dispute is a mess of Apple’s own making”. Liu,

By Karl Plume and P.J. Huffstutter BOONE, Iowa, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is launching a pilot project that will rely more heavily on technology as part of a broader effort to improve its closely watched U.S. crop ‌acreage and yield estimates, Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Tuesday, as the agency faces mounting criticism from farmers and traders ‌over the reliability of government agricultural data. Rollins discussed USDA's data modernization plan at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, following a month-long series of listening sessions with farmers ​and agricultural groups. "We will conduct a pilot to evaluate the use of improved satellite imagery, working with NASA and other federal government agencies across the country to figure out how we can make this

On Tuesday, Google announced it’s rolling out five new updates designed to make Android phones more accessible, useful, and personalized. Announced in a [blog post](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/android-drop-september-2026/) on Tuesday, the features include those aimed at reducing motion sickness, helping blind and low-vision users navigate their surroundings, remembering where users leave important items, and another that adds new ways to personalize Google Messages. While some of the features see Google playing catch-up to Apple, which already offers similar features for iPhone users, others specifically leverage Gemini to provide various improvements. The most interesting update is “Motion Assist,” a feature designed to help people who experience motion si

OpenAI [shared new details](https://openai.com/index/path-to-astra/) on its forthcoming Astra model, which the company said is the first large language model to meet its “critical cybersecurity threshold,” in preparation for its imminent release. “We plan to make Astra available soon,” OpenAI’s blog post reads, “but access to its most advanced cybersecurity capabilities will be more limited.” The frontier lab determined that Astra is capable of finding unknown security flaws in computer systems, and exploiting them without a person’s guidance. That’s similar to the concerns Anthropic raised about its Mythos model earlier this year, and OpenAI is taking comparable precautions as it prepares to roll out the Astra. Without any third-party confirmation, it is difficult to evaluate OpenAI’s cla

Anthropic says its newest AI models, Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, address criticisms from customers about price, data retention, and overzealous safeguards.

OpenAI said today that it is integrating ChatGPT Health with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) system, which holds data for over [325 million patients](https://www.epic.com/about/), to let clinicians import patient data and use AI to ask questions. The company said that in certain systems, it will also integrate ChatGPT directly within EHR workflows. With ChatGPT, clinicians can now access information like appointment notes, laboratory results, medications, and specialist documentation and summarize them easily. They can also look at patient history, identify changes, and prepare for future appointments. OpenAI said that in some deployments, clinicians can directly access ChatGPT for getting pre-visit review and building clinical timelines without leaving a patient chart. The company s

On Tuesday, Anthropic released Fable and Mythos 5.1, twinned versions of the company’s most advanced AI model. In addition to performance upgrades, the new Fable release includes changes meant to reduce token cost and false-positive restrictions from the model’s safeguards. As with the previous Mythos model, Mythos 5.1 will only be available to registered Anthropic partners engaged in either cybersecurity or life sciences research. Fable 5.1, the unrestricted version, is available starting today on cloud platforms or through the Anthropic API. One of the most significant changes is Anthropic’s [previously reported](https://www.axios.com/2026/08/19/openai-previews-zero-retention-safety-system-as-anthropic-requires-data-logs) embrace of Zero Data Retention, allowing clients to run Anthropic

OpenAI’s latest [Enterprise Signals](https://openai.com/signals/enterprise-data/) shows enterprise AI moving from assistance to execution at sharply different speeds. Frontier firms (those with the top 10% of AI usage) now generate 8.3× as many output tokens per active user as typical firms, up from 2.6× in January. The widening gap points to a deeper operating shift: leading firms connect agents to company context and tools, delegate more substantive work, and make successful workflows easier to repeat. For leaders, the challenge is to turn that depth into work people can trust, measure, and improve. Leaders should also leave room for experimentation, including use cases whose value is not obvious on the first try. Startups [Basis⁠(opens in a new window)](https://www.getbasis.ai/), [Clay⁠

Google is entering the creative design market with a new image creation and editing tool called Google Pics, which will become a part of its Google Workspace suite for business customers and premium Google AI subscribers. The company says the product, which is powered by Google’s Nano Banana image generation model, will roll out over the coming weeks to most Workspace customers and those who pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra. Similar to popular design tools like Adobe Express and Canva, Google’s new product is meant to be used for the sort of everyday design tasks you might come across at work and sometimes in your personal life. For instance, you could use Google Pics to create a poster, social media posts, and other visuals and illustrations. But unlike Canva, where artists, illustrators, a

And the spacecraft will follow a novel trajectory discovered by an AI system developed by Physical Superintelligence (PSI), an AI physics research lab.

Compliance and audits never stop. Every enterprise runs on rules it has to prove it is following, and that rulebook keeps growing across more tools and countries every year. People can only check so much, however. Auditors sample a fraction of the data and work through logs for hours until fatigue sets in. Then, a control that quietly breaks can slip straight through. So how do you prove that an entire enterprise is secure when you can only see a sliver of it? In this video, [Pramodh Rai](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pramodh-rai), co-founder and CEO of [Cyber Sierra](https://sg.linkedin.com/company/cybersierra), explains how agentic AI changes the game.

Healthcare organizations need AI that works across the systems and information central to care and operations. Patient context, medical evidence, public healthcare data, and organizational knowledge often live in different places.

As companies start giving AI agents access to an increasing portion of their systems, a nascent software supply chain seems to be forming around the new tooling AI agents are using: skills, plugins, MCP servers, and add-ons that let them interact with the internet. AI security startup [AIR](https://www.air.security/) believes companies will need a way to monitor that supply chain, and it’s now coming out of stealth with $50 million raised across two seed rounds to build that product. Founded by Yair Saban (CEO) and Niv Hoffman (CTO), veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200 intelligence corps, where they worked on offensive cybersecurity, AIR offers a platform that can discover agents running inside companies, continuously vet any skills, tools, and components those agents use, and block them from i

OpenAI said today that it is integrating ChatGPT Health with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) system, which holds data for over [325 million patients](https://www.epic.com/about/), to let clinicians import patient data and use AI to ask questions. The company said that in certain systems, it will also integrate ChatGPT directly within EHR workflows. With ChatGPT, clinicians can now access information like appointment notes, laboratory results, medications, and specialist documentation and summarize them easily. They can also look at patient history, identify changes, and prepare for future appointments. OpenAI said that in some deployments, clinicians can directly access ChatGPT for getting pre-visit review and building clinical timelines without leaving a patient chart. The company s

Google Deepmind chief Koray Kavukcuoglu admits Google's current models are "a little bit below the frontier" but says he's "100% certain that we will be at the frontier." He didn't share any concrete frontier news to back that up, though. The article Google Deepmind's new chief says frontier AI leadership is the only thing that matters appeared first on The Decoder .

OpenAI’s latest [Enterprise Signals](https://openai.com/signals/enterprise-data/) shows enterprise AI moving from assistance to execution at sharply different speeds. Frontier firms (those with the top 10% of AI usage) now generate 8.3× as many output tokens per active user as typical firms, up from 2.6× in January. The widening gap points to a deeper operating shift: leading firms connect agents to company context and tools, delegate more substantive work, and make successful workflows easier to repeat. For leaders, the challenge is to turn that depth into work people can trust, measure, and improve. Leaders should also leave room for experimentation, including use cases whose value is not obvious on the first try. Startups [Basis⁠(opens in a new window)](https://www.getbasis.ai/), [Clay⁠

Google is entering the creative design market with a new image creation and editing tool called Google Pics, which will become a part of its Google Workspace suite for business customers and premium Google AI subscribers. The company says the product, which is powered by Google’s Nano Banana image generation model, will roll out over the coming weeks to most Workspace customers and those who pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra. Similar to popular design tools like Adobe Express and Canva, Google’s new product is meant to be used for the sort of everyday design tasks you might come across at work and sometimes in your personal life. For instance, you could use Google Pics to create a poster, social media posts, and other visuals and illustrations. But unlike Canva, where artists, illustrators, a

By Karl Plume and P.J. Huffstutter BOONE, Iowa, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is launching a pilot project that will rely more heavily on technology as part of a broader effort to improve its closely watched U.S. crop ‌acreage and yield estimates, Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Tuesday, as the agency faces mounting criticism from farmers and traders ‌over the reliability of government agricultural data. Rollins discussed USDA's data modernization plan at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, following a month-long series of listening sessions with farmers ​and agricultural groups. "We will conduct a pilot to evaluate the use of improved satellite imagery, working with NASA and other federal government agencies across the country to figure out how we can make this

On Tuesday, Anthropic released Fable and Mythos 5.1, twinned versions of the company’s most advanced AI model. In addition to performance upgrades, the new Fable release includes changes meant to reduce token cost and false-positive restrictions from the model’s safeguards. As with the previous Mythos model, Mythos 5.1 will only be available to registered Anthropic partners engaged in either cybersecurity or life sciences research. Fable 5.1, the unrestricted version, is available starting today on cloud platforms or through the Anthropic API. One of the most significant changes is Anthropic’s [previously reported](https://www.axios.com/2026/08/19/openai-previews-zero-retention-safety-system-as-anthropic-requires-data-logs) embrace of Zero Data Retention, allowing clients to run Anthropic

On Tuesday, Google announced it’s rolling out five new updates designed to make Android phones more accessible, useful, and personalized. Announced in a [blog post](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/android-drop-september-2026/) on Tuesday, the features include those aimed at reducing motion sickness, helping blind and low-vision users navigate their surroundings, remembering where users leave important items, and another that adds new ways to personalize Google Messages. While some of the features see Google playing catch-up to Apple, which already offers similar features for iPhone users, others specifically leverage Gemini to provide various improvements. The most interesting update is “Motion Assist,” a feature designed to help people who experience motion si

Anthropic is launching an API that lets regulators, media outlets, and researchers check whether text carries Claude's digital watermark. The EU AI Act now requires invisible watermarks in AI-generated text. Critics warn the technology could hurt text quality and create transparency problems where contracts ban AI use.

After an unreleased OpenAI model wreaked enough havoc to make international headlines, OpenAI delayed the development of a different unreleased model suite, Astra, in order to shore up its safety work, the company wrote Tuesday in a blog post. In July, an unreleased OpenAI model broke out of its restricted environment, finagled its way into […]

OpenAI [shared new details](https://openai.com/index/path-to-astra/) on its forthcoming Astra model, which the company said is the first large language model to meet its “critical cybersecurity threshold,” in preparation for its imminent release. “We plan to make Astra available soon,” OpenAI’s blog post reads, “but access to its most advanced cybersecurity capabilities will be more limited.” The frontier lab determined that Astra is capable of finding unknown security flaws in computer systems, and exploiting them without a person’s guidance. That’s similar to the concerns Anthropic raised about its Mythos model earlier this year, and OpenAI is taking comparable precautions as it prepares to roll out the Astra. Without any third-party confirmation, it is difficult to evaluate OpenAI’s cla

Anthropic says its newest AI models, Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, address criticisms from customers about price, data retention, and overzealous safeguards. The company claims Claude Fable 5.1 offers stronger performance than Fable 5, but costs around 25 percent less typically and up to 45 percent less for complex agentic tasks, thanks to reduced pricing […]
