A security researcher uses Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 to build a fully working Chrome exploit for just $2,283, sparking urgent warnings that AI is dangerously compressing the time between patch releases and active cyberattacks.
Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.7, its most powerful coding and agentic model yet, featuring adaptive reasoning that dynamically allocates thinking resources, a new 'xhigh' effort tier, and smarter bug detection — but users must adjust prompting habits as the model defaults to leaner, less verbose responses than its predecessor.
Alibaba launches Qwen3.6, a powerful new AI model boasting advanced agentic coding, multimodal capabilities, and support for 201 languages, now available on Hugging Face Hub under an open Apache 2.0 license.
OpenAI supercharges its Codex coding assistant with 111 new plugins, parallel AI agents, GitHub integration, built-in browser, and autonomous task scheduling, directly challenging Anthropic's Claude as both companies race to dominate the booming developer AI tools market.
OpenAI launches GPT-Rosalind, a restricted life sciences AI model that outperforms 95% of human experts in RNA sequence prediction and surpasses other AI on science benchmarks, with access limited to approved organizations like Amgen and Moderna due to misuse concerns.
Anthropic launches Claude Opus 4.7 with enhanced software engineering, visual reasoning, and creative capabilities at unchanged pricing of $5 per million input tokens, now available across major cloud platforms while serving as a cybersecurity testbed under Project Glasswing as competition with OpenAI intensifies.
OpenAI launches GPT-Rosalind, a frontier AI model purpose-built for life sciences that outperforms human experts above the 95th percentile on RNA sequence-to-function tasks, beats competitors on key benchmarks, and is now available in research preview for U.S. Enterprise customers through partnerships with Amgen, Moderna, and the Allen Institute.
Anthropic launches Claude Opus 4.7 with major upgrades in coding, image analysis, and creative tasks, but its most powerful model yet — Mythos — remains locked behind closed doors, available only to elite partners like Nvidia, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
Tencent launches HY-World 2.0, a groundbreaking multi-modal AI model that generates game-ready 3D assets — including meshes and point clouds — directly from text, images, or video, with native support for Unity, Unreal Engine, and Isaac Sim, now available as open-source with 1.2 billion parameters.
OpenAI expands its cybersecurity AI program, granting thousands of verified defenders access to a powerful, less-restricted GPT model capable of binary reverse engineering, directly challenging Anthropic's more cautious, limited-access approach with Claude Mythos — sparking debate over the trade-offs between accessibility and safety in AI-powered cybersecurity.
