Earlier today, OpenAI launched GPT-5.6-Cyber , a specialized model designed to perform advanced vulnerability research and exploit development for approved defenders — including categories of work that its general-purpose models will often refuse. GPT-5.6-Cyber is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI's most advanced general model, GPT-5.6 Sol, unveiled back in June , but trained specifically to improve performance on advanced cybersecurity tasks, including finding zero-day vulnerabilities and developi

Meta has been trailing competitors. Zuckerberg thinks he's found a way forward.

Recently, a man I was rock climbing with told me about how he'd used AI to make a motivational poster for himself, which he'd hung on his bedroom wall: a bear, walking a slackline over a canyon, holding a sign that said, "Do cool shit." I made what I hoped was a polite noise. What […]

NVIDIA has signed memorandums of understanding with six of the largest pools of private capital in the world — Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR — to create independent compute financing platforms the company says will mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital for AI infrastructure over time, according to the company's August 10, 2026 announcement. The platforms are designed to create dedicated pools of capital at scale and at what NVIDIA calls…

30-billion parameter LLM, Meta's first in more than a year, signals Meta's return to the open weights arena. Open version of Muse Spark to follow

Amazon Web Services is threading its AI-powered security infrastructure directly into the coding environments built by two of its fiercest rivals — and in doing so, it is making a bold bet that controlling the security layer matters more than controlling the model. AWS announced at Black Hat USA 2026 this month that its Continuum platform for code vulnerabilities will integrate directly into Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex , alongside AWS's own Kiro IDE . The move embeds AWS security

Authors: Sudeeptha Jothiprakash, Venkat Bala, Tushar Pandey, Romi Datta The real bottleneck in the modern AI stack Enterprise IT has a strange problem: token spend and third-party model subscription costs keep climbing, while the GPU clusters running these workloads sit at just 20% utilization. That gap comes down to one thing: the tools managing access... The post Stop Rate-Limiting Requests. Start Scheduling Tokens: Introducing DataRobot TokenGrid appeared first on DataRobot .

Our latest Agents Week has come to a close. Here’s a recap of all the announcements we made from Wallets to Radar.

Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi offered a blueprint for one of the pressing challenges facing the enterprise today at VB Transform 2026 : securely deploying AI agents, like the open-source OpenClaw, into production environments. Unlocking this enterprise value requires a mindset shift. The industry needs to move past vague terminology and focus on concrete enterprise roles. “People talk a lot about agents, but I think 'agents' is a terrible name. It's this Silicon Valley concept that doesn't really me

The FineBooks project from Hugging Face and EleutherAI tested 14 open-source OCR models on more than 2,000 historical book pages. The top model, dots.mocr, hits 97.6 percent character accuracy at under two dollars per thousand pages. That's good enough for AI training data, but not yet for scholarly transcriptions, the team says.

OpenAI is splitting its cybersecurity program into two access tiers and releasing a new purpose-trained model alongside them, the company announced on August 10, 2026. Daybreak Blue opens frontier general-purpose models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, to approved defenders for everyday security work, while Daybreak Red gates the new GPT-5.6-Cyber model behind tighter vetting for vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing. The structure addresses a tension OpenAI says it has been…

OpenAI aims to give cybersecurity defenders a head start: The new GPT-5.6-Cyber model answers up to 98.5 percent of security queries that would otherwise be blocked and has already uncovered two previously unknown Chrome vulnerabilities. According to OpenAI, the window of opportunity for defenders is shrinking. Access requires identity verification.

Objects constructed by robots are ubiquitous. If you’ve used a car, household appliance, or smartphone today, you’ve used an object constructed at least in part by robots. The more products that manufacturers want to produce (and consumers want to consume) at lower costs, the more industrial robots will be needed. There are over 4 million industrial robots in use worldwide, according to the International Federation of Robotics . And researchers predict that number will grow to over 16 million by

Today we are introducing Vercel Managed Images (VMI), a set of versioned, open-source base images you can use as-is or extend. The source for every image lives in the public vercel/sandbox repository. Managed images replace Sandbox runtimes, which are now deprecated. Starting with version 3 of the Sandbox SDK, new sandboxes default to vercel/sandbox/universal:latest . It ships with Node.js, Python, common coding agents and standard utilities, so most users never build a custom image or install p

AI is helping development teams produce far more code, far faster. But security teams still have to review vulnerabilities, manage dependencies, prioritize fixes, and control risk at human speed. When software output jumps 10 to 50 times, the problem is no longer just finding vulnerabilities. It is keeping security from becoming the bottleneck, or worse, losing control of what gets shipped.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits betwee
