Anthropic's Cyber Mission brings frontier Claude models and engineers to critical-infrastructure defenders, alongside free, opt-in OSS Scanner security scans. Its model-generated reports arrive without human review, so maintainers still need to verify findings and fixes. OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast across the API, Codex and ChatGPT Work, claiming up to eight times the speed of Sol Standard.

CNBC reports that AI-linked stocks fell amid scrutiny of OpenAI's revenue figures, with YouTube commentary picking up the story. The revenue gap involves partner-sales accounting, not $20 billion of vanished sales. Google launched a unified Gemini work agent, while Anthropic's Claude Science sky map illustrates AI-assisted research: roughly a third of its UV coverage is predicted rather than observed.
