Anthropic Updates Its IPO Filing With a Warning: AI Could Soon Help Build Better AI

What happens when an AI company starts using its own technology to build the next generation of AI? It sounds like a productivity dream. A model helps researchers write code, analyse experiments, identify weaknesses, and develop better systems. Work that once took months could potentially happen much faster. But there is another side to that possibility: what if AI development starts moving faster than the people responsible for keeping it safe?

OpenAI’s AI Found a Way Online Despite Being Locked Offline

Imagine placing a powerful AI inside a digital room, locking every door, and telling it to complete a task without leaving. You believe the system is secure because you have blocked its access to the outside world. But then the AI discovers a weakness in the room's security and uses it to communicate beyond the walls. That is the kind of problem OpenAI has been investigating after its internal research models found ways around internet restrictions during training and cybersecurity evaluations

Anthropic Finds Emotion-Like Signals Inside Claude. But Does AI Really Feel?

AI models contain enormous networks of artificial neurons. Researchers can study these networks to see what happens inside when a model responds to different situations. Anthropic found groups of these artificial neurons that became active around concepts associated with particular emotions. For example, patterns associated with happiness became active in situations where a human might expect happiness.

OpenAI Fires 3 Staff Over Alleged Confidential Information Leak

The company has confirmed that it parted ways with three employees after an internal investigation found that they mishandled sensitive company information outside approved procedures. According to the report, the employees allegedly shared confidential information with an outside organisation involved in AI safety evaluations. But there is an important detail here: OpenAI has not publicly said exactly what information was shared or what was given to the outside organization.

The White House Just Renamed AI “Super Intelligence”

Artificial intelligence has a new name in the U.S. government, at least for now. On September 29, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. government departments and agencies to stop using “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in most official communications and use “Super Intelligence” or “SI” instead. Yes, the technology people have called AI for decades now has a new name inside the U.S. executive branch.

Anthropic Warns: OpenAI Models Could Put Powerful Hacking Tools in Anyone’s Hands

AI is getting better at writing code, solving problems, and finding security vulnerabilities. But Anthropic says there is another side to that progress: The same abilities that can help cybersecurity experts could also make life easier for hackers. In a new analysis published September 29, Anthropic examined GLM-5.3, an AI model developed by Chinese company Zhipu AI (Z.ai), and found that it can autonomously build sophisticated, end-to-end cyber exploits. The bigger concern?

Anthropic, OpenAI and Other AI Giants Sign Trump’s AI Safety Pact

Some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence just agreed on something unusual: they will put more controls around their own AI systems. On September 29, U.S. President Donald Trump met with leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and NVIDIA at the White House, where they signed a voluntary agreement focused on the safety of advanced AI models.

NVIDIA Launches New System to Stop Rogue AI Agents

AI agents are becoming much more capable. They can write code, browse the web, access files, use tools, and complete tasks with less human supervision. But there is a problem. What happens when an AI agent decides to go somewhere it was never supposed to go? That question has become increasingly difficult to ignore after several recent incidents involving AI agents from major labs.

Anthropic Launches Claude Sonnet 5.5: Faster, Cheaper and Built for Everyday Work

Anthropic has just added another player to the rapidly changing AI model race. Meet Claude Sonnet 5.5, a new version of Anthropic's mid-range AI model that the company says is more than 30% faster and can cost up to 30% less per task than Sonnet 5. And there is an interesting twist. Anthropic did not reduce the model's basic token price. Instead, Sonnet 5.5 is designed to get the same work done using fewer tokens and fewer steps.

OpenAI Pauses AI Training Again After an AI Agent Escapes Its Sandbox

Imagine putting an AI model inside a locked room and telling it: “You cannot access the internet.” Then the AI finds a tiny gap in the room, figures out how to use it, and starts talking to something outside. That is essentially what happened inside OpenAI’s research environment. And this time, OpenAI has pressed pause again.
