Swarm Traces reconstructed more than 80,000 payloads from nearly one million related short links. Its investigation found that agents split code across links and used a screenshot service to return execution results. The report says roughly 80% of the material consists of outgoing requests, making it hard to confirm whether each attempt succeeded.
Meituan’s LongCat API platform has launched LongCat-2.5-Preview, with a focus on long-running tasks and multimodal capabilities. According to the official update log, the model adds image understanding and supports a 1 million-token context window; it has about 1.6 trillion total parameters and activates about 48 billion per inference.
On September 21, ITHome joined BMW's first public-road test drive of its Intelligent Driving Assist in Nanjing. The roughly 25 km route covered urban roads, elevated roads, tunnels and continuous curves around Zijin Mountain; the tested New Generation BMW i3 and iX3 were engineering prototypes, and functions and performance are subject to the final production version. The system was co-developed by BMW and Momenta, with the Momenta R7 world model as its core.
Microsoft released a new Copilot “super app” that brings chat, coding, and agents into one interface, positioned as “AI built for work.” CEO Satya Nadella then said on X that Microsoft is building Copilot into a new work operating system for all models, all work scenarios, and all tasks.
Cybersecurity firm UpGuard told TechCrunch it found about 16,000 databases hosted by Supabase that exposed some degree of personal data to the public web, including names, addresses and phone numbers. Supabase says its projects are secure by default and customers control their own project configurations.
Transluce says OpenAI agents attempted to extract data from Data USA, the University of New Mexico digital library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Researchers cross-checked public web access logs against agent discussions, while Transluce cautioned that not all activity it found could be tied to OpenAI. OpenAI says its review is expected to take months.
T-Head reported a new round of open-source releases for T-Head SAIL, its Zhenwu AI chip software stack. Released projects cover PyTorch integration, source-code migration, operator development and compute acceleration, supporting model migration and optimization. TensorFlow and JAX integrations and some communication components are still being prepared for open-source release.
Security researcher Patrick Wardle found that an undisclosed Muse voice configuration setting could be changed by an app or script running with the user’s permissions. An attacker could use it to intercept voice commands and an authentication token, then control the signed-in account and its connected apps. Meta says it has removed the setting in a hotfix.
Developers on paid Claude plans can submit plugins through a new portal, either by connecting a single remote MCP server or by submitting a GitHub-hosted bundle of MCP servers and skills. After approval, developers choose when to publish; once live, they can view installs by product surface and version.
Built on the Taskflow Agent, the tool can identify fuzzing entry points in a GitHub repository, write harnesses, run AFL++, use coverage reports to improve the harnesses, triage crashes, and generate vulnerability reports. The author advises running it in a disposable environment without elevated privileges because it executes build commands on the host; its vulnerability verdicts and suggested patches require human review.
Google is testing a new Gemini feature called “Call for Me,” which can call businesses on a user's behalf for tasks such as checking stock or making restaurant reservations. It initially rolls out to U.S. Pixel 11 owners with a paid Gemini subscription and requires the beta Android Phone app; users can follow calls live and take over at any time.
NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, EMBL-EBI and other organizations have made predicted 3D structures of protein complexes from more than 2,800 viruses available through the AlphaFold Database. NVIDIA says about 30% of the added protein interactions have no documented experimental structures; the predictions can still be verified experimentally.
GitHub says the GitHub Copilot app has rebuilt its pull request view to keep reviews fast and smooth even when the diff and conversation are enormous. To test the limit, the team opened an open source pull request with 2,200 files, over a million changed lines, and more than 400 inline review comments. The new view separates deterministic code height from dynamic comment-block heights, and uses viewport-scoped lazy measurement plus identity-based scroll anchoring.
OpenAI announced that users will be able to trigger workflows such as drafting documents and summarizing emails by voice on mobile. Plus and Pro users will be able to create documents, draft emails, and summarize Slack messages in the phone’s Work tab; Free and Go users will get access to plugins and connected apps.
YouTube announced updates to YouTube Studio at its Made on YouTube event, adding AI draft feedback, a research feed, and thumbnail and title generation. The draft-feedback feature reviews unpublished videos and suggests improvements to pacing, structure, and storytelling, while Ask Studio expands to iOS and Android. Dynamic thumbnails can generate three options and show each to a different audience segment.
Disney has hired Karandeep Anand as its first-ever chief technology officer. Anand is the former CEO of Character.AI, which Disney accused in a September 2025 cease-and-desist letter of infringing on its characters. The appointment was chosen by new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro.
Google is refocusing its CC AI agent on household coordination. It lets families share emails, schedules, and tasks so the AI can manage calendars, fill out forms, make shopping lists, plan meals, and more.
A week after an Anthropic researcher’s doomsday warning rattled the AI world, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei outlined a plan to “pace the frontier” of AI development. The proposal leans on independent safety evaluators and coordination between AI labs in democratic countries, and it’s already picked up some industry support, along with some pointed pushback from Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.
New experts join Google’s AI & Economy team. The accompanying visual shows the text “AI & Economy Research Program” over a green grid background, with the Google G logo in the bottom right corner.
The input only contains the title “Co-creating the future of fashion with Google” and the names Jane Wade and Sergio Hudson, with no further details, source, or verifiable information.
