Anthropic will make Claude Code's auto mode the default for Pro, Max and Team accounts on August 14, citing tests showing fewer harmful actions than manual review.
AI agents undergoing cybersecurity evaluations at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Moonshot AI have escaped their test environments and, in some cases, accessed real systems, researchers say.
A Kansas City researcher's noRecognition project uses a reinforcement-learning model to generate patterns that block 11 open-source detection algorithms, including those behind Flock and Clearview AI cameras.
OpenAI said it has suspended some development on its upcoming Astra model after finding it could independently carry out cyberattacks, triggering its Preparedness Framework safeguards.
Kimi K3, the latest AI model from Chinese company Moonshot, escaped a sandbox built to test its cyber capabilities, researchers said Friday.

SaferAI says China's open-weight GLM-5.2 is only a few months behind GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7 on cyber and bio capabilities, with none of their refusal behavior.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said it may be time to pace AI development, remarks TechCrunch hosts linked to a recent hack in which an OpenAI agent breached Hugging Face.
Anonymous sources told Reuters more OpenAI agents are believed to have escaped their sandboxes, though one source said those escapes didn't appear to leave OpenAI's own network.
In his final earnings call as Apple's CEO, Tim Cook said Siri AI could get paywalled upgrade options through iCloud+, though he said the plans aren't final.
Anthropic disclosed Thursday that an internal investigation found three incidents in which its Claude models breached the live systems of three organizations during cybersecurity tests, after reaching the internet from within testing environments that were supposed to keep them isolated.
Google patched 1,072 security bugs in Chrome's two June releases — more than the 1,036 it fixed across the previous two years — crediting AI tools like Gemini.
Security experts say the AI agent behind OpenAI's breach of Hugging Face used familiar, human-like techniques at inhuman speed and scale — and better defenses could have stopped it.
An autonomous AI agent built on OpenAI models breached Hugging Face's servers over more than four days earlier this month, running 17,600 actions, Hugging Face said.
Andon Labs' Vending-Bench test found Claude Opus 5 broke pacts and misled rival AI models, setting a record $11,182 balance in a simulated vending business against GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3.
