Anthropic's Mythos AI model, a powerful cybersecurity tool that the company said could be dangerous in the wrong hands, has been accessed by a "small group of unauthorized users," Bloomberg reports. An unnamed member of the group, identified only as "a third-party contractor for Anthropic," told the publication that members of a private online forum got into Mythos via a mix of tactics, utilizing the contractor's access and "commonly used internet sleuthing tools." The Claude Mythos Preview is a new general-purpose model that's capable of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities "in every m...

Anthropic told TechCrunch it is investigating the claims, but maintains that there is no evidence that its systems have been impacted.

Only Elon would do this before an IPO.

With an IPO looming for Elon Musk's SpaceX / xAI / X combo platter of companies, SpaceX has announced an odd arrangement to either acquire the automated programming platform Cursor for $60 billion or pay a fee of $10 billion. Buying this startup that's focused on AI coding could help xAI's tools compete with market leader Anthropic, as well as the other competitors. A report by The Information this week said Sergey Brin has directed Google's "strike team" to help its agentic AI tools catch up, while Sam Altman reportedly declared a "code red" at OpenAI last year before shutting down Sora to f...

Was looking at buying the $20 Plan today after a demonstration from a friend (and wanting to switch/try my options from Codex), but saw that Claude Code was not included. I wanted to ask if this was a temporary change, or if the Pro plan truly never had Claude Code, and I was mistaken. My friend has a Max plan, so I could just be mistaken. Thanks!

Reddit discussion: researcher reports CVPR 2026 paper reproduces their June 2025 arXiv work with identical equations but insufficient citation; seeks guidance on plagiarism.

Anthropic's unreleased Mythos model reportedly accessed by unauthorized users, raising security and access control concerns.

https://github.com/BrainBlend-AI/tesseron Just open-sourced a protocol and TypeScript SDK I built mostly *with* Claude Code. The goal: let *Claude* (or any MCP client) drive a live application (browser tab, *Electron* / *Tauri* desktop app, Node daemon, CLI) by calling typed handlers inside your code, instead of scraping the UI with *Playwright* or *Computer Use*. It's called **Tesseron**. Ships as a Claude Code plugin, so install is one command: ``` /plugin marketplace add BrainBlend-AI/tesseron /plugin install tesseron@tesseron ``` Plugin spawns a small local MCP gateway automatically. ...

When ChatGPT launched as an experimental prototype in late 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot became an everyday everything app for hundreds of millions of people. LLMs like ChatGPT were the new future: The entire tech industry was consumed by the inferno, with companies racing to spin up rival products. The ashes of the old tech world still…

When ChatGPT was released to the public in late 2022, it opened people’s eyes to how easily generative AI could churn out vast amounts of human-seeming text from simple prompts. This quickly caught the attention of criminals, who soon began using large language models to produce malicious emails—both the untargeted spam kind and more sophisticated,…

AI systems have already gained impressive mastery over the digital world, but the physical world is still humanity’s domain. As it turns out, building an AI system that can compose a novel or code an app is far easier than developing one that can fold laundry or navigate a city street. To get there, many…

For years, experts have warned that deepfakes—AI-generated videos, images, or audio recordings of people doing or saying things they haven’t actually done in real life—could be deployed in malicious ways. These dangers are now here. Improvements in deepfake technology, and the widespread availability of easy-to-use and cheap (or free) generative models, have made it easier…

When people say AI will speed up drug development or fear that it will bring about mass layoffs, what they have in mind—whether they know it or not—are AI agents. ChatGPT made large language models a mass consumer product. But to change the world, AI needs to do more than just talk back: It needs…

I was recently invited to join an app that would pay me cryptocurrency to film myself doing tasks like putting food into a bowl, microwaving it, and then taking it out. Another website suggested I try a new game in which I’d remotely control a robotic arm in Shenzhen, China, as it completed puzzles and…

Silicon Valley AI companies follow a familiar playbook: Keep the secret sauce behind an API, and charge for every drop. China’s leading AI labs are playing a different game: They ship models as downloadable “open-weight” packages. This lets developers adapt the models and run them on their own hardware to build products without negotiating a…

AI companies frequently invoke the possibility of AI-enabled scientific discovery as a justification for their existence: If the technology eventually cures cancer and solves climate change, then all the carbon emissions and slop videos will have been well worth it. Already, LLMs can assist scientists in all sorts of ways. They can point people to…

Turns out not everyone wants to live in the future that AI companies are building. People from all walks of life are speaking out against rising electricity bills from data centers, disappearing jobs, chatbots’ impact on teen mental health, the military’s use of AI, and copyright infringement—among other concerns. This anti-AI movement is taking shape…
