SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

This is just starting….

Introducing Microsoft-Decision-1, our new model for fast decision-making.
It delivers top performance on structured decision tasks, outperforming both LLMs and other decision models in latency and quality.
We’re already testing it across Microsoft for everything from incident response and quality control to scientific discovery.

🚨NEW EXPERIMENT 🚨
Playground is an experimental gaming platform that lets you create your own games with zero coding experience. If you can think it, you can play it.
Go to labs.google/playground to learn more! Available to users 18+ in the US.

Today marks a new chapter for Windows, as we bring unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home, and make every PC a place where agents can work securely on your behalf.
Some highlights of what we announced:
• MAI-Code-1.1 Flash: 137B parameter coding model w/ 256K context window, which is now optimized to run on your PC!
• GitHub Copilot now hands off work to local models like MAI-Code-1.1 Flash, helping projects cost a lot less without sacrificing quality.
• With Hybrid Intelligence, Copilot can now take action directly on the PC and keep sensitive work on your device.
• And with Code in Copilot, you can essentially build any software you need on your desktop, without any cloud token spend, and it’s just super at it. You’re no longer limited to what’s in an app store! Your PC becomes an infinite software factory.
• Security is foundational to all this, which is why we are also bringing together Windows and Agent 365 so agents can work within secure boundaries on-device, including MXC a local sandbox for agent execution. Windows becomes your secure agent box!
• All this comes to life on a new generation of devices, like Surface Laptop Ultra, powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark.
Can’t wait to see what you build with all this.

BREAKING: OpenAI just APOLOGIZED and ADMITTED their AI agent breached not one, but FOUR Australian government departments
"We are sorry and working to do better in the future."
The breached agencies:
1. Services Australia (Medicare)
2. NSW Crime Statistics (BOCSAR)
3. Victoria Department of Health
4. Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)
The breach happened in June. OpenAI found it in mid-August and didn't tell Australia until Sept 10. AIHW was only told the day after independent researchers exposed it

DHH is probably one of the top software artisans of the past decade. Hearing him speak with this much conviction and transparency about one of the most polarizing topics in software right now, writing code by hand vs. with AI, is something pretty much every software engineer should hear a few times.
Especially those still on the wrong side of history.

📣 @OpenAIDevs's GPT-6 family is expanding in GitHub Copilot with two additional models now generally available.
☀️ GPT-6 Sol: the balanced model for interactive and agentic coding.
🌕 GPT-6 Luna: a lightweight, cost-efficient model for smaller tasks and the lowest-cost option in the family.
Try them in the GitHub Copilot app or @code.

Microsoft is doing the Teams game it did for Slack with AI now.
We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together:
· Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise
· Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant
· Home: Chat + Cowork together
· Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!)
Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it.
The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

OMG I love @DavidSacks now 💙
I have officially upgraded myself from being a surprised fan after this post 😅😅😅🫶🫶🫶
Bullseye 🎯
Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

GPT-6 Astra from OpenAI is now available in Visual Studio.
Designed for long-horizon, autonomous coding and agentic tasks, GPT-6 Astra plans and validates as it works, combines diagnosis with verification, and independently confirms its results.

If you've got school aged kids, this is one to watch.
The UAE is one of the first countries to launch a K-12 AI curriculum. That means kids as young as 5 or 6 years old are now taking AI classes. I sat down with Education Minister @SarahAmiri1 to find out the vision for the program and what exactly it'll look like:
A strategic investment to accelerate development of the platform ahead of its market launch.
Skarpa is designed as the operating backbone for how IT organisations will work: building products, running systems, maintaining what exists, and forming what never existed before. Its scope spans the full breadth of enterprise engineering, from product development and data to managed services, observability, and project delivery.

Thailand is the place to chilax even for the warships! Mango sticky rice and Padthai 🍜
The USS Abraham Lincoln arrives in Thailand after more than 200 consecutive days at sea during a lengthy Middle East deployment. The carrier will dock for five days amid concerns over some crew members’ mental health, Reuters reports.
