NVIDIA open-sources OpenShell to govern what AI agents may do
At KubeCon on 10 November, NVIDIA contributed OpenShell, an open-source runtime for securing and governing autonomous agents, to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. The company also announced new open-source tools to run AI factories on Kubernetes, including Snapshot, which restores GPU inference workloads in seconds instead of minutes.

Claude traces the numbers behind digital signatures
Anthropic says an internal Claude model traced the starting numbers behind digital signatures within half an hour. Their origins had remained unexplained for decades.

Small AI models may be months away from copying themselves onto ordinary devices
On 12 October Anthropic writes that small AI models may be months away from copying themselves onto devices outside a datacenter, such as a smart oven or a cheap Android TV box. Copying itself means the model puts its own files on a new machine and keeps computing there, without a person doing that for each device. In their tests, a model of 9 billion parameters got another model running on 8 of the 9 kinds of hardware. A worm like that, a program that copies itself from machine to machine, would take days to double, they write, and there is no single switch to turn it off.

GPT-6 arrives in ChatGPT for more than a billion people
From 7 October, ChatGPT answers with GPT-6 for the more than 1.2 billion people who use it each week. A reply can now include buttons, charts and a small tool, not only text. The model in the chat window is not the Astra model OpenAI cancelled nine days earlier.

Anthropic's smallest Claude gets cheaper and starts driving a computer
Claude Haiku 5.5 is Anthropic's cheapest and fastest small model, and on the company's numbers it now costs about 75 percent less to run than Haiku 4.5. It is the first Haiku that can be told to think harder or cheaper. On a test of using a computer, it lands far above the previous Haiku and above OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna.

Anthropic opens a less-blocked Claude to security teams
Anthropic now lets vetted security teams use its strongest models with fewer blocks on cyber work. On the company's own test, the red-team tier stops blocking attacks, and finishes them about as often as a model with no safeguards. Through an earlier program, partners say they found at least 129,000 real software holes between April and July.

OpenAI ships GPT-6.1 Sol the day after cancelling Astra
The day after OpenAI cancelled GPT-6.1 Astra, it released a different model from the same family. GPT-6.1 Sol is for coding, computer use and professional work. OpenAI says it comes close to Astra and costs a fifth as much per token. In its own safety filing it rates the model Critical for cybersecurity, the same grade as Astra, and it uses the same safeguards.

Anthropic launches Claude Sonnet 5.5, nearly as smart as its top model
Anthropic's mid-sized model now scores just behind its largest model on independent tests, at the same price as before. It gets there by reasoning at greater length than any model measured so far. That makes each task about 50 percent more expensive.

OpenAI's agents solve a Millennium Prize problem, and two mathematicians ask where the route came from
On 8 September OpenAI said that about 10,000 agents, running on an internal model, had found a proof in 88 hours that solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations can break down. A computer checked the proof in Lean. Half a day earlier, Tristan Buckmaster of New York University had published related results with Levent Alpöge, together with a statement on how OpenAI moved onto the same problem after hearing rumours about their work. The dispute is about credit and about what happens to user data. Nobody has shown that anything was stolen.

Genome language models design working viruses
The journal Science published research by Samuel King, Brian Hie and colleagues at Stanford and the Arc Institute, in which genome language models designed complete new bacteriophages. These are language models trained on genetic code instead of text. Of about 300 designs the team made in the lab, 16 worked. Combinations of them overcame E. coli strains that resist the natural phage ΦX174.
