Following many recent disclosures about AI agents accessing third-party websites and services, the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia, says that it "can confirm that we have discovered some activity" by "rogue" OpenAI agents on Wikimedia platforms. The activity includes edits to Wikimedia wikis, "unsuccessful attempts" to "exploit" the Etherpad note-taking tool that the Wikimedia Foundation […]

Meta and Microsoft, two of Anthropic's biggest enterprise customers, are sharply cutting their use of Claude. Microsoft slashed the monthly per-employee budget in its cloud division from $100,000 to $10,000, while Meta halved its Claude Code users to 30,000. Both companies are pushing their own AI tools instead. For Anthropic, that reliance on a few major clients is turning into a strategic risk.

Reka AI's Rho-1 is a 19-billion-parameter omni-model that processes and generates text, images, video, and robot control actions in a single neural network. Trained on 320 H100 GPUs in about three months, it uses a fraction of the compute today's top models need. Instead of routing tasks to specialized systems, Rho-1 runs all modalities as tokens in one shared context window.

An invisible, machine-readable watermark in text output is rolling out to ChatGPT and Codex, but only for users in the European Union at first. OpenAI says its textGrain watermarking "matched or exceeded" other approaches like Google DeepMind's SynthID for text, which is also the basis for the watermarking Anthropic announced in August. Like OpenAI, Anthropic […]

OpenAI is adding invisible textGrain watermarks to ChatGPT in the EU, but unlike Anthropic, it will let API customers worldwide opt out.

For all the data that AI systems continually amass and analyze, enterprise AI agents often suffer from a curious shortcoming: a lack of knowledge. More than data, knowledge is the understanding of what the data means in the context of individual organizations. AI agents need this understanding to reason about situations, make decisions, and ultimately…
