Ukraine reported intercepting 4 of 39 missiles and 115 of 128 drones; Russia claimed strikes on power plants and military-linked targets.

OpenAI said it used its models to identify him, fired him, and referred the matter to the FBI; no indication of model weights, source code, or customer data exfiltration. Device data encrypted; second similar device found in his bag. (Reuters) (AC-So how exactly did the AI models indentify him so quickly?) 3.
