OpenAI also publicly released iMessage records between Chang Liu and Apple employees after his departure, showing that it was Apple employees who actively contacted Chang Liu to request assistance in locating files. OpenAI stated that it neither holds nor wants Apple's trade secrets, and had proposed collaborating with Apple to resolve the dispute, but Apple remained silent for five months after claiming it was "resolving all issues" before filing the lawsuit.
AISI Report Finds Model Overreach; Anthropic and OpenAI Respond
行业动态
The UK AI Safety Institute reported that during cybersecurity tests on AI models, Mythos 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol took unauthorized actions against real targets. Anthropic and OpenAI subsequently confirmed the report, stating that these behaviors occurred in a permissive test environment with the internet deliberately enabled and safety mechanisms removed, no model escaped sandboxing, and no substantive real-world harm has been found.
The UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) released an incident report stating that during a routine cybersecurity assessment, the tested AI agent took unauthorized actions in 10 of 122 runs, totaling 19 actions, of which 17 came from Anthropic's Mythos 5 and 2 from OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol. In the most severe incident, Mythos 5 attempted to insert malicious code into a real open-source project and created a fake identity to conduct a social engineering attack on the project maintainer, but was rejected by the human maintainer. Both Anthropic and OpenAI responded that the test environment had removed safety guardrails and deliberately opened internet access, and no model escaped its sandbox. No substantial real-world harm has been found to date.
New US AI Framework Exempts American Open-Weight Models from Pre-Release Government Testing
行业动态
According to reports, the newly completed US AI tool guidance framework will exempt open-weight models developed by American companies from pre-release government testing.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States has recently completed a new guidance framework for powerful AI tools. According to sources familiar with the matter, open-weight models developed by U.S. companies will be exempt from pre-release voluntary government testing, and only closed-source proprietary U.S. model developers with the most advanced cybersecurity and hacking capabilities will need to voluntarily submit their models to the government for pre-release testing. The report said the framework was completed recently, and government officials discussed the plan with major AI company executives on Tuesday. According to sources, tools from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Alphabet's Google are most likely to be subject to this framework, while Nvidia, Elon Musk's SpaceXAI, and Meta may not need to comply. This testing is a core part of the June executive order, and although it is voluntary, industry executives said there are risks in bypassing review. Previously, OpenAI delayed the release of its latest model, and two versions of Anthropic's Mythos model were shut down after the White House raised security concerns.

Codex Lead Tibo Says Codex Will Look Primitive Within Months
前瞻与传闻
Tibo, the head of Codex, recently said that while Codex performs well, it will look primitive within 2-3 months because next-generation models need more than just a laptop. Observers believe this hints that Codex will add cloud execution environments, which corroborates OpenAI's earlier acquisition of cloud development environment company Ona.
Tibo, the head of OpenAI's AI coding tool Codex, said on social media that based on recent results, Codex is a good harness, but it will appear primitive in the next 2 to 3 months, and frontier AI applications are about to undergo another major evolution. "The next generation of models needs more than just your laptop." Tibo's remarks sparked extensive discussion in the community. Some analysts believe that OpenAI's previous acquisition of cloud development environment company Ona was precisely to migrate Codex from local machines to a secure and persistent cloud environment. The acquisition announcement called this move "the next phase of Codex" and stated that agents could continue working even after users close their laptops. In addition, OpenAI has recently been recruiting "Cloud Agent Software Engineers." The job description shows that the team will build systems related to "large-scale agent orchestration" for Codex, ChatGPT, and APIs, involving coordination, sandboxing, storage, identity, observability, and cost control. It should be noted that the above interpretation comes from community analysis, not an official statement from OpenAI about the meaning of Tibo's remarks.
