Meta's assistant was caught turning a family's public posts into a dossier — and suggesting the questions itself. Also today: Altman says OpenAI would slow down if rivals do, and a 210M text-to-image model publishes its training recipe, measurements included. Meta is changing the prompts

OpenAI's $1-a-year experiment in government is over. A new 27-month OneGov agreement announced by the General Services Administration replaces the $1-per-agency pilot with token-based, pay-for-what-you-use pricing at a 50% discount, starting October 1 — one day after the current

Every automaker in America vouches for its own vehicles. Tesla just found out what happens when the vouching gets creative — and a regulator that likes autonomous vehicles anyway starts reading the fine print. The probe is about paperwork, not driving When Tesla put its first Cybercabs on Austin's

Apple's ML research group has had a quietly productive week, and today it landed three papers at once: a protein-design model trained straight in the raw data space, a benchmark that grades video captions with quizzes instead of reference text, and a sign-language translator that finally

Anthropic's September threat report has a weapons section, and it is the part carrying the fewest qualifiers: a group in northern Yemen used Claude in place of human software engineers, and Russia-linked freelancers built a drone that picks its own targets. Anthropic says operators in northern Yemen

Tesla's first driverless two-seater was supposed to be the "fork in the road" moment. Instead, riders are filming it stopped in traffic and federal investigators are asking whether it was ever street-legal to begin with. Riders are filming Tesla's Cybercab stopping in

The friction between AI and its neighbors is getting legal teeth this midday: a lab retreats from academia's loudest critics, an infrastructure startup hires a lab's alumni for its IPO run, and a Chinese court puts a prison term on jailbreaking a model. OpenAI has withdrawn

Three stories today, one theme: who gets trusted. Anthropic is screening its users, Moonshot is asking investors to trust its revenue curve, and California is writing the trust rules into law. Anthropic has switched on age assurance for Claude's consumer app — anyone the safety systems flag as possibly

The most important AI infrastructure news out of China this week is not a model — it is the plumbing underneath one. Sugon says IBGDA, a networking technique that lets GPUs drive the network card directly instead of routing every transfer through the CPU, has completed full-scale validation on a

Anthropic is facing a refiled class action over Claude Max pricing — and the plaintiffs' side is staffed like an FTC case, which is exactly what makes it dangerous. A refiled class action accuses Anthropic of overselling Claude's Max plan with "usage multipliers" that don'

The open-source story today is about ownership: who holds the model, who holds the agent's instructions, and who keeps the knowledge after the chat ends. Five picks from the daily board. Colibrì (C, 27,632 stars) — The most ambitious project on the board: an inference engine, in

Two kinds of trust shipped today: a Fields Medalist building the mathematics of "safe", and two Chinese platforms engineering agents that can explore without breaking things. **Jacob Tsimerman, who won math's Fields Medal in July, is founding an institute whose whole premise is that AI safety
