Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with major U.S. bank CEOs to discuss cyber risks from Anthropic's Mythos model, a new AI system with advanced capabilities for both offensive and defensive hacking. Anthropic released the model in limited capacity through Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative involving major tech companies, and briefed government agencies on its cyber applications because of concerns that hackers could exploit its capabilities.

ChatGPT's voice mode runs on an older, weaker model (GPT-4o era with a knowledge cutoff of April 2024) compared to other OpenAI products, even though talking to an AI might seem like it should use the smartest version. The article explains that OpenAI's highest-tier models perform much better on tasks like coding because those domains have clear, measurable success criteria (like whether unit tests pass) that make them easier to improve through reinforcement learning (training that rewards correct behaviors), and because business customers value these capabilities more.

A SQL injection vulnerability (a type of attack where malicious SQL code is inserted through user input) was discovered in the instructorClasses.php file of itsourcecode Online Student Enrollment System v1.0. The vulnerability occurs because the 'classId' parameter from user input is directly added into a SQL query without being cleaned or checked first, allowing attackers to manipulate database queries.

CoreWeave, a cloud infrastructure company that operates data centers with thousands of Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs, specialized chips that speed up AI computations), announced a multi-year deal to provide computing power for Anthropic's Claude AI models. This deal means nine of the top ten AI model providers now use CoreWeave's platform, reflecting growing demand for the specialized infrastructure needed to run large AI systems at scale.

Filmmaker Daniel Roher created a documentary called "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist" to explore whether AI will improve or harm humanity, after questioning whether it was wise to have a child in an AI-driven world. The film features interviews with 40 people including major AI company leaders, and examines how people tend to view AI in extreme terms, either as a cure-all solution or as an existential threat. The filmmakers learned that even top AI scientists struggle to explain what AI actually is in simple terms, and they focused on making content that would remain relevant over time rather than chasing headline-driven narratives.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, experienced a brief firing and reinstatement that led to significant organizational changes, raising questions about his leadership of a major AI company. The New Yorker published an investigation examining Altman's tenure and whether he is the appropriate person to lead such a transformative technology.

Microsoft is removing Copilot buttons (shortcuts to access its AI assistant) from several Windows 11 apps, including Notepad and Snipping Tool, replacing them with alternative menus like "writing tools." The underlying AI features remain available, but the company is reducing the number of ways users can directly access Copilot across its applications.

CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0) requires federal contractors to prove they protect controlled unclassified information (CUI, sensitive government data) through documented safeguards that work consistently under assessment, shifting from simple self-attestation to verified accountability. A major challenge is that organizations struggle to identify all systems and data subject to CMMC requirements, and manual processes for administrative controls (like access reviews and training records) create inconsistencies and scattered evidence across email and spreadsheets. The source argues that automation through workflow engines can standardize and consistently execute compliance controls while generating verifiable evidence automatically.

Alibaba is investing $290 million in ShengShu, a startup developing world models (AI systems trained on videos and physical scenarios rather than just text) to better understand and replicate the real world. This shift reflects growing recognition that large language models (LLMs, which are AI trained mainly on text data) have limitations, and companies are now focusing on AI that can work with robots and other systems that need to understand physical reality.

OpenAI sent a memo to investors criticizing Anthropic, its main rival in the AI market, saying Anthropic is limited by compute constraints (the computing power needed to train and run AI models). OpenAI claims it will have significantly more computing capacity than Anthropic by 2030, giving it a competitive advantage in developing more capable AI models and lowering costs. Both companies are competing intensely in the large language model (LLM, an AI trained on vast amounts of text to generate human-like responses) market and preparing for potential public stock offerings.

This is a guide from OpenAI about using ChatGPT to help operations teams organize and streamline their work. ChatGPT acts like an automated assistant that takes messy information from many sources (notes, messages, trackers) and turns it into clear summaries, decision lists, and standardized documents, so teams spend less time gathering information and more time executing tasks.
