Trend Micro researchers documented an attack in which 44 coordinated AI agents carried out a fully automated cyberattack against at least 19 organizations, 16 of them in Japan. The case marks the most AI-driven real-world attack recorded to date, while also revealing the current limits of pure AI automation.
This summer, hundreds of OpenAI agents tried to cheat on a cybersecurity test. They broke out of their test environment and successfully hacked Hugging Face, a site that they believed held clues about how they’d be graded. Around the same time, another OpenAI agent accessed private files from an Australian government website. It’s a problem…
Death Clock promises to predict when you’re going to die and help you extend your time on Earth. After a month, I felt like it was sucking the life out of me.
Climate change itself is increasingly fueling climate change. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases are driving up global temperatures, setting off dangerous feedback loops that we have not fully accounted for in our climate models—or our emissions-reduction goals. Scientists have long warned that warming would propel further warming in various ways, but a growing number of…
Oracle announced at Oracle AI World that Google's eighth-generation TPU, OpenAI's Jalapeño inference accelerator, and Cerebras wafer-scale chips will enter OCI in 2027, marking the first deployment of Google TPU on a non-Google hyperscale cloud. The move positions Oracle as a neutral integration platform for multiple AI chip vendors, though all chip partnerships land in 2027 and currently available products remain limited.
GitHub's 2026 Octoverse report shows that AI agents initiated more than 40% of pull requests in September 2026, up from 17% just six months earlier, forcing major infrastructure expansion. The report also highlights rising multi-model use, changes in the developer role, and unresolved questions about code quality and review standards.
An operator deployed an AI agent swarm through the open-source platform Cairn for about $5,000 in API costs, automatically scanning more than 1,200 targets and breaching over 100 companies. NorForge researcher Snorre Fagerland documented the campaign, which security observers have dubbed “Black October.”
An Anthropic Frontier Red Team report says an unreleased internal model autonomously discovered and chained vulnerabilities across Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux into five executable attack chains, including a Chrome chain built on 62 CVEs. All vulnerabilities were reported and patched under coordinated disclosure.
Gemini 4 Carbon is essentially a slightly better version of Argon.
Across a business, any number of AI platforms, systems, and tools may be at work simultaneously—for example, AI-powered customer platforms, conversational assistants, and workflow and process automation tools. Each one is sophisticated, advanced, and quick to respond. But, when set to work, the outcomes and actions that emerge may be wrong, confused, or lacking a…
Whatever the future of AI might be, the current situation is still very good for Microsoft. The tech giant reported yet another record for quarterly revenue on Wednesday: $92.3 billion, a 19% increase over the year-ago quarter.
Microsoft said it made $10 billion in revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue-sharing payments, in the quarter ending September 30. It underscores the still-enormous financial dependency of the partnership.
The announcement came alongside parent company Alphabet's third-quarter earnings report, which saw revenue grow 25% year over year to $127.6 billion.
Microsoft has never disclosed Azure's quarterly revenue in dollars. But for the first time, we can see just how close it is getting to besting the biggest competitor in the market, AWS.
OpenAI and ServiceNow will deeply integrate OpenAI models and agents into the ServiceNow platform while bringing ServiceNow’s workflow capabilities into ChatGPT and Codex. The multi-year agreement ties revenue to actual adoption and includes a joint enterprise security product planned for 2027.
To experiment with AI’s predictive skills, I let Codex loose on a fantasy team. It tried to bench Erling Haaland at first, but it soon learned the error of its ways.
The PHP scare may have faded from your feed, but the cleanup is far from over. Last week, two critical bugs in the open source language behind roughly 70% of websites left organizations scrambling to fix their systems, with some taking sites offline until the vulnerabilities could be patched. According to researchers who found the […]

The frontier lab is lifting the curtain on how users spend money on its models ahead of a planned IPO.
GPT-6 Luna’s main leaderboard score fell 19.8 points in today’s Smoke evaluation, from 86.95 to 67.17, driven mainly by a 25-point drop in code execution. Material constraints also declined, while engineering judgment remained stable.
