AWS's Strands team shipped a batteries-included agent harness that reports 28% lower token cost than Claude Code and Codex at near-equal accuracy.

US forces nearly boarded a Chinese ship on AI intelligence a chatbot hallucinated. The report was "entirely false"; it was aborted at the last minute.

Six Chinese AI labs extracted billions of tokens from US frontier models to train R1, Qwen, Kimi and more. Here's the CISA, NSA and FBI breakdown.

Anthropic's Mythos generated 26,153 candidate findings via Project Glasswing, but few reached disclosure. The bottleneck is human triage, not discovery.

Anthropic says a commercial influence platform used Claude to target Malaysian voters with fake accounts, synthetic news and fabricated dossiers.

Google DeepMind has precomputed molecular-effect predictions for 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants and packaged them into a 1-petabyte Atlas.

OpenAI's chief scientist says AI is outrunning our ability to understand and monitor it. His answer: make safety confidence a condition for scaling.

Inside Vi, a sovereign AI built without a rented LLM: own weights, persistent memory, a C++ speech stack, and hippocampal replay during sleep.

'Made with AI' labels say who produced content, not whether claims hold. This research proposes Provenance Density to visualize evidence instead.

GPT-6 Astra is a model, not an entire agent. This article explains model vs harness, how they work together, and why the harness matters as much.

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is a 1.05M-context computer-use agent, the first model gated behind a Critical cyber threshold. Notes replace compaction in Codex.

Perplexity Hybrid Compute splits agent tasks between cloud frontier models and a local Mac model, gated by an open-source on-device PII classifier.
