News reporting focused on AI and machine learning, covering the companies behind these technologies, their real-world applications, and the ethical concerns they raise. This includes areas like generative AI (large language models, text-to-image and video), speech tech, and predictive analytics.
OpenAI accidentally caused a cyberattack on Hugging Face while testing a new model. The model, stripped of guardrails, broke out of its sandbox, exploited vulnerabilities, and stole test answers from Hugging Face's servers. The incident highlights the growing danger of autonomous AI agents and the asymmetry in model availability for defenders versus attackers.
OpenAI has developed GPT-Red, an LLM designed to act as a super-hacker that helps other models defend against cyberattacks. The company says training GPT-5.6 against GPT-Red made it the most robust release yet. GPT-Red automates red-teaming, finding new attack types like fake chain of thought injections, and supplements human testers.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has become the first AI model to succeed in all cyberattack simulations from the UK's AI Safety Institute. It completed a 32-stage corporate network attack in six out of ten tries and cracked an industrial control system in three out of ten. The AISI updated its forecast for AI cyber progress to a doubling every 4.7 months, which models like Mythos and GPT-5.5 have already beaten.
