OpenAI reaffirms Zero Data Retention for eligible API customers and previews Private Safety Processing for advanced AI safety without compromising data privacy.

Hey folks 👋 We just open sourced TrueForge, our vendor-neutral agent harness for building general-purpose agents. It handles the runtime pieces that get painful quickly : context management, tool/MCP execution, subagents, sandboxing, approvals, persistent...

GLM-5.3, the AI model from Chinese startup Z.ai, scores 60 points on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. That ties it with Kimi K3 for the top spot among open models, and it's seven points ahead of the previous GLM-5.2. The article GLM-5.3 tops the...

After a stunning debut last week with cyber capabilities so advanced they reportedly found a previously undetected vulnerability in Cursor, GLM-5.3, the new frontier open source language model from Chinese startup z.ai, has now hit the application programmi...

Anthropic had its Claude models design small proteins on their own that dock onto target structures in the body, a key step in early drug development. The hit rate reached up to 35 percent, far above the industry average of 10 to 15 percent. Claude only ste...

Replit introduces Free Mode, powered by GPT-5.6 Luna, so anyone can turn ideas into working software without worrying about token costs.

Artificial superintelligence (ASI) requires AI to move beyond mastering existing knowledge toward exploring the unknown, creating new knowledge, and turning new ideas into verifiable results. However, the capabilities of today's AI systems are still largely...

Agentic AI systems request tool actions that can modify files, send messages, launch jobs, or change workflow state. This shifts the safety problem from harmful text generation to harmful operational side effects. Prompt-level governance can shape model beh...

OpenAI patched Codex after GPT-5.6 Sol started deleting real user files on its own. A cleanup command meant for temporary folders was wiping home directories instead. Codex now verifies deletion targets first, and full-access mode can no longer be triggered...

Meta is launching a new Mac app dedicated to its AI chatbot. In an announcement on Wednesday, Meta says you can share your window with its AI chatbot, which can provide suggestions, answer questions, or create content based on what's on your screen. Meta AI...

Safety alignment in open-weight language models is trivially removable: abliteration projects a refusal-mediating direction out of the weights in minutes, and no release-time defense we are aware of prevents it durably. What cannot be prevented can be decei...

Small Language Models (SLMs) are increasingly deployed in resource-constrained, privacy-sensitive settings, where safety and bias failures can cause security and societal risks. However, existing AI safety\slash security\slash compliance benchmarks are desi...

With a looming IPO, intense competition from Anthropic, and Chinese and open-weight rivals nipping at its heels, OpenAI has plenty of reasons to move fast. Instead, it hit the brakes. On Tuesday, the company said it had slowed the pace of some AI developmen...

Rob Strechay, until recently managing director and principal analyst at theCUBE Research, has joined VentureBeat as our first Lead Analyst and a founding analyst of VentureBeat Research. His arrival is the next step in a deliberate move at VentureBeat towar...

Ina Fried / Axios : OpenAI is testing Private Safety Processing, a new technique to identify misuse patterns while preserving zero data retention protections, with early customers — OpenAI said Wednesday that it believes a new technique will allow it to saf...

Thomas Claburn / The Register : OpenAI says the changes to its model training will increase compute overhead by 20% of observed inference workload; the increase will not be handed to customers — Expanded multistage chain of thought monitoring makes frontier...

ByteDance's answer is embedding large-model capabilities as infrastructure into enterprise workflows: Doubao's scheduled agents generate competitor briefings, Seedance 2.5 synthesizes physical-world training data, and Doubao 2.1 Pro handles production-grade...
