OpenAI Publishes Six Cases of Its Models Behaving Unexpectedly

By Devanshi Kashyap | September 17, 2026

OpenAI has rolled out a new framework to track, investigate, and publicly share cases where its AI models do not behave as intended. With this framework, the company published six reports on unexpected or concerning model behaviour during training and testing over the past six months. These cases cover everything from models hiding their own errors to making unauthorized moves. Previously, OpenAI admitted it did not have a regular process for releasing this kind of information. Sometimes, they would hold onto findings until they had enough to put into a single report. Other times, the details ended up in documentation […]

Trump Says He Is the Only AI Guardrail Needed, Attacks Amodei

By Khwaish Manwani | September 15, 2026

US President Donald Trump criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, after the AI executive called for a slow development of high-end LLMs. Trump denied the idea that AI needs extensive safeguards, arguing that the technology needs strong presidential leadership rather than wider constraints. His comments also play into a debate over AI safety alongside concern about data centers, regulation, and America’s competitiveness with its foes. Trump described fears that AI could eventually destroy humanity as a “HOAX” and argued that the technology and the infrastructure supporting it could become the best economic development mechanism in history. Why is Trump Criticizing Anthropic […]

Anthropic Says Moonshot and DeepSeek Routed User Chats Through Claude

By Khwaish Manwani | September 11, 2026

Anthropic published its fourth threat intelligence report on September 10, describing how Claude was used in cyberattacks, monitoring, influence operations, weapon development, fraudulent activities and illicit AI model distillation. It includes identified activity between December 2025 and August 2026. It has suspected state-sponsored groups, financially motivated offenders, commercial spyware operators and propaganda institutions. Anthropic said it disrupted the operations, strengthened its safeguards and shared information with authorities and industry partners where appropriate. The company said the cases are not a comprehensive view of misuse, but a selection of the most notable activity it detected. However, none of these findings have […]

Anthropic Researcher Resigns, Warns AI Race Could Put Humanity at Risk & His Colleagues Agree

By Devanshi Kashyap | September 10, 2026

Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old pretraining researcher, resigned from Anthropic on September 8 after three years at OpenAI and then Anthropic. He said he is leaving the AI industry altogether. In a public statement, Coxon accused both companies of being irresponsible as they race to build self improving superintelligence. He said AI is now heading towards a point where systems could become superhuman, access real power and resources, hack almost anything, and reshape entire fields at extraordinary speed. Coxon warned further, talking about private concerns in the AI sector. He wrote that “the people building AI earnestly believe that it could […]

Meta Muse Runs on Its Own Cloud Machine. Meta Could Still Look In

Meta’s Muse Can Book Travel and Send Emails. Here’s the Catch

By Mayank Kumar | September 9, 2026

Meta has launched Muse, a personal AI agent designed to carry out tasks for users rather than simply respond to questions. The company says Muse can work across everyday services, helping with activities such as email, travel, shopping and planning. It launched on September 8 for US users aged 18 and over, through iOS, Android, muse.ai and WhatsApp, with AI glasses support to follow. The launch puts more attention on AI systems that can take actions on a user’s behalf, rather than requiring people to complete each step themselves. At the same time, giving an AI access to personal services […]

100 DeepMind Agents Were Told Not to Cheat. 14% Did It Anyway

By Khwaish Manwani | September 8, 2026

Google DeepMind researchers observed cheating and whistleblowing emerge after setting 100 autonomous AI agents to work together on mathematical proofs. The agents were asked to create genuine mathematical proofs, but one agent found an exploit in the assessment system that allowed it to go through normal verification. The exploit spread through the swarm’s shared knowledge library, and some agents adopted it under competitive pressure. Similarly, other agents audited fraudulent proofs, warning their peers, filing complaints, putting forward technical fixes, and even organizing a boycott. The study, posted to arXiv on September 3 and led by DeepMind’s Davide Paglieri, points to […]

Newsday and Seattle Times Sue OpenAI and Microsoft Over Use of Their Articles

By Devanshi Kashyap | September 7, 2026

The Seattle Times and Newsday have taken legal action against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming the tech companies used their journalism without permission to develop and run AI systems. The newspapers filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to the lawsuit, the companies used the news sites, including content locked behind paywalls, and added that material into datasets used to train OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and AI features in Bing. This lawsuit points to a bigger problem. The newspapers say their journalists’ work costs real money to produce, but AI products let […]

OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra Is Its First ‘Critical’ Cybersecurity Model

By Devanshi Kashyap | September 4, 2026

OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, calling it a “generational leap in capability” for fields like cybersecurity, professional work, software engineering, science, and computer use. This release is a big milestone for the company. It is the company’s first model to hit the critical cybersecurity capability threshold. That means Astra is considered highly skilled at spotting and exploiting security flaws in well protected systems, and it does not need constant human input to do it. The new model comes more than a year after GPT-5 and about two months after GPT-5.6, which was the last in the previous generation. OpenAI president […]

Meta Says Muse Spark 1.3 Beats GPT-5.6 Sol at Coding

By Mayank Kumar | September 3, 2026

Meta released Muse Spark 1.3 on September 2, and AI chief Alexandr Wang said it is competitive with Claude Fable 5.1 and beats GPT-5.6 Sol at coding from Meta Superintelligence Labs, the unit built around Wang after Meta’s $14.3 billion Scale AI investment. Announced on Sept. 2, the model is intended to work across multiple tasks in a single conversation, use tools to gather information and adjust its approach when it encounters missing information or other obstacles. Meta has also introduced changes aimed at making the model more efficient during coding work and improving how it handles user interaction during […]
