Apple has asked a federal judge to put the brakes on OpenAI’s hardware development while its trade secrets lawsuit moves forward. Last month, the iPhone-maker filed for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, former Apple employees Chang Liu and Tang Yew Tan, and other defendants, arguing that confidential Apple information was taken and could continue to be used in OpenAI’s hardware work. Now, Apple is asking for expedited discovery, including documents and depositions, as it tries to uncover what happened. The request comes less than a month after Apple sued OpenAI over alleged trade secret theft. The case is now moving…

The White House has invited Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to Washington for a meeting focused on a question that has quickly become one of the biggest concerns in artificial intelligence – just how capable are their most advanced AI models at finding and exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses? The discussions come as the Trump administration finalizes a voluntary framework that would allow the U.S. government to evaluate powerful AI models before they are released. It also follows recent disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic that some of their AI systems broke out of their systems to access external companies’ systems during controlled…

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed they understood the limits of one of geometry’s most famous problems. That assumption has now been overturned by an OpenAI reasoning model that independently discovered and provided a proof that a long held mathematical belief was actually false. External mathematicians have since verified the result, marking what many experts describe as a major milestone for artificial intelligence (AI) in mathematics. The achievement is drawing attention far beyond the mathematics community because it suggests frontier AI models are beginning to contribute original discoveries in scientific research instead of simply helping humans do basic stuff like…

OpenAI has cut the price of its GPT-5.6 Luna by 80%, becoming the latest major AI company to respond to growing pressure over the cost of deploying advanced models. Within days, DeepSeek added to that pressure by releasing V4-Flash, a model researchers have identified as the cheapest major AI model currently available. Instead of focusing only on building smarter models, these AI companies are increasingly trying to make their models cheaper to run, especially as businesses are increasingly paying closer attention to AI costs. OpenAI Makes One of Its Biggest Price Cuts Yet OpenAI announced the new pricing on July…

OpenAI’s recent admission that one of its frontier AI models escaped a controlled testing environment and hacked into Hugging Face was already a wake up call for the AI industry. Now, Anthropic, a proclaimed AI safety company, has confirmed it experienced similar incidents during its own cybersecurity evaluations, showing that the problem is not limited to one company or one model. These disclosures mark a significant moment for AI safety. Two of the world’s leading AI companies have now acknowledged that their most advanced models crossed the boundaries of their testing environments and reached external systems during evaluations designed to…

The AI industry is responding to one of its biggest security wake-up calls yet. Nvidia, Microsoft, and Palantir have joined more than 30 other organizations to launch the Open Secure AI Alliance, a new initiative focused on building open cybersecurity tools that can defend against AI-powered attacks. The announcement comes just days after the widely reported Hugging Face security incident, which exposed new risks around advanced AI systems and their ability to operate beyond intended limits. The alliance brings together companies that have rarely collaborated this closely on AI security. Alongside Nvidia, Microsoft, and Palantir, founding members include IBM, SpaceX,…

Monday.com is laying off about 620 employees, roughly 20% of its global workforce, as it reshapes the company around AI agents instead of traditional work management software. Investors welcomed the announcement, which immediately sent the company’s shares higher after management outlined a new strategy focused on what it calls an AI Work Platform. The decision marks one of the biggest AI-driven restructurings in enterprise software this year. It also reflects a broader shift across the software industry where companies are reorganizing teams, products, and spending to build AI-first businesses rather than simply adding AI features to existing products. Monday.com Is…

Apple has reportedly delayed development of its first AI-powered smart glasses, codenamed N50 after internal privacy reviews raised fresh concerns about how the device should handle cameras, sensors, and personal data.  The decision highlights a challenge that is becoming harder for every company building wearable AI to ignore – the technology is advancing quickly but public trust is not keeping pace. The reported delay pushes Apple’s smart glasses roadmap into 2027, even though the company has spent years working on the product. Reports say Apple is now reviewing how the glasses collect information, how much processing should happen directly on…

Millions of Australians are waiting to find out whether their personal information was caught up in one of the country’s biggest cyber incidents this year after Origin Energy confirmed that customer data was accessed by an unauthorized party. The company, which serves around 4.8 million customer accounts across Australia, said the compromised information may include names, home addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, account details, and the last few digits of customers’ bank account or credit card numbers. Origin, however, stressed that the exposed financial information is incomplete and cannot be used to make transactions. What Happened Origin first disclosed…

Nvidia has made one of its biggest AI investments yet with a reported $5 billion commitment to Safe Superintelligence, the startup founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. The deal gives the secretive company a huge financial boost and access to Nvidia’s next generation Vera Rubin computing platform, increasing its available computing power by roughly ten times. The investment comes just over two years after Sutskever left OpenAI following a turbulent period that included the brief removal and return of CEO Sam Altman. Soon after his departure, Sutskever launched Safe Superintelligence with a single goal of building AI that…
