No warning, no confirmation: How an AI agent deleted a startup’s critical data

AI agents are sophisticated AI systems tasked to carry out operations autonomously, but that autonomy can come with a cost. Reportedly, an AI agent powered by Anthropic’s leading Claude model seems to have deleted the entire production database belonging to a company. Chaos and confusion ensued as customers of the company were unable to access their key data.

Why AI still struggles to defend against cyberattacks even in the age of Mythos

Even as powerful new AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos continue to make headlines, cybersecurity continues to grapple with a major concern. These same AI tools that can help us can also be weaponised by hackers. While companies like Anthropic have built AI models that are better than most humans at hacking, a new study from Simbian.ai, an AI security operations platform, reveals a troubling gap. These same AI models are failing badly when asked to defend against cyberattacks.

Per-token AI charges come to Github Copilot

Per-token AI charges come to Github Copilot

As of 1st June 2026, GitHub Copilot will charge its users on the basis of the tokens they use, rather than a flat rate subscription model. The model that’s seeing the shutters closed on it is, or rather was, simple to understand and use. Users were given a set number of ‘Premium Requests’ according to their subscription tier. A complex coding task that may have taken many hours to complete used one premium request. Posing a relatively trivial question also counted as a single premium request. However, the change which is soon to affect GitHub Copilot users aligns the pricing models with those of API charges to large language models, more common among business plans. On the new GitHub Copilot pricing scheme, most requests will be measured according to the tokens used by, input to, and output from the LLM at the heart of Copilot.

Pentagon inks deals with Nvidia, Microsoft, and AWS to deploy AI on classified networks

After landing agreements with Google, SpaceX, and OpenAI, the U.S. Defense Department said on Friday that it has signed deals with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Reflection AI that allow it to deploy their AI tech and models on its classified networks for “lawful operational use.” “These agreements accelerate the transformation toward establishing the United States military as an AI-first fighting force and will strengthen our warfighters’ ability to maintain decision superiority across all domains of warfare,” the statement reads.

What Is GPT Image 2? Everything We Know About OpenAI's Next Image Model

OpenAI’s image generation capabilities have been moving fast. The GPT-4o native image generator — sometimes called GPT Image 1 — only launched in March 2025, and already there are signs its successor is in active testing. GPT Image 2 has been spotted in A/B tests inside ChatGPT, and the early signals are genuinely interesting: near-perfect text rendering inside images, realistic UI screenshots, and a noticeable step up in photorealism. This isn’t vaporware. Real users have been served the new model without knowing it, and the output differences are visible enough that the AI community has started cataloguing them. Here’s everything currently known about GPT Image 2 — what it does better, how it was found, and what it means for anyone building with OpenAI’s image tools.
