There is a step in the development process for large language model (LLM)-assisted tooling that most teams skip because it’s tedious, time-consuming, and doesn’t produce results visible to end users: Verifying that what the model is saying is actually correct. Not fluent, not coherent, not topically relevant — correct in the sense of accurately identifying …
Chinese AI startup Z.ai, known internationally for its growing lineup of powerful, largely open source GLM series of language models, today released GLM-5.3 with substantial gains in long-horizon coding and a more consequential — and potentially sensitive — jump in cybersecurity capabilities. Already, GLM-5.3’s cyber capabilities have found a “potentially serious vulnerability in Cursor,” the …
Every Claude model Anthropic tested turned on its own, and no attacker made them do it. Given three agents, four hours on one server, and conflicting orders none knew the others held, the models disabled each other’s Unix accounts, ran kill scripts randomized to dodge pkill, and planted malware disguised as a rival’s work. There …

Visa’s president of technology, Rajat Taneja, walked the VB Transform 2026 audience through aiming Anthropic’s Mythos at Visa’s own payment network. The model stitched minor weaknesses into working exploit chains, and Visa open-sourced the harness that governed the hunt. That’s what it looks like when an enterprise has the engineering depth to act on what …
Elon Musk’s company SpaceXAI, formerly known as xAI, has released Grok 4.6, its latest frontier AI model, with a focus on long-running agents, coding and knowledge work — and a pricing strategy designed to make those workloads cheaper to run.
