OpenAI releases GPT-6 Cyber security model that finds flaws and suggests fixes
AI summary
OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Cyber, a model trained specifically to hunt for software security vulnerabilities. It can find flaws, build working exploit code and suggest patches, and OpenAI says 99.93% of tests stayed within bounds without extra safety instructions. On the same day, OpenAI was reported to have raised $11 billion in a new funding round at a $1.25 trillion valuation. Anthropic's IPO has run into trouble as investors question its $1.5 trillion valuation.

OpenAIs GPT-6 Cyber can both break into systems and propose how to fix them
With GPT-6 Cyber, OpenAI is introducing an AI model built to find security vulnerabilities in software, develop exploits, and suggest patches. According to OpenAI, it has already found 81 previously unknown vulnerabilities in Firefox and developed 948 working exploits in the Linux kernel, significantly more than its predecessor.

Anthropic's $1.5 trillion IPO hits resistance as investors balk at valuation
Anthropic's IPO is in trouble as investors push back on the $1.5 trillion valuation and the tech market sells off.
METR finds Anthropic may have crossed its own AI acceleration warning threshold back in July
Nonprofit METR spent eleven weeks auditing Anthropic's internal research data and concluded that the pace of model development has roughly doubled, with about 80 percent of the speedup driven by AI-assisted research. Anthropic redacted the most informative evidence, though, which means the public has to rely on METR's judgment "much more than would be ideal."
OpenAI reportedly raises an additional $11 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation
OpenAI has reportedly raised an additional $11 billion as part of a funding round that hasn't closed yet but is expected to in the coming weeks.
