President Trump and tech leaders including Mark Zuckerberg, Greg Brockman, Jensen Huang, and Elon Musk signed an AI code of conduct at the White House that is only "morally binding."

CodeScene has published a case study in which coding agents refactored 300,000 lines of C over three weeks for roughly $4,000 in tokens, verified by a frame-by-frame replay harness. The agents built a playbook of codebase-specific recipes along the way. Practitioners have questioned the scope, the metric, and how much of the result depends on the harness. By Steef-Jan Wiggers
Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 are now available in India through Amazon Bedrock geographic cross-Region inference. You can access these models while processing data within the India Regions, and get started from the Amazon Bedrock console or with the Messages, InvokeModel, and Converse APIs.
Amazon Bedrock now supports Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 with in-region inference in Seoul, and Claude Sonnet 5 in Singapore.

For the sake of national security, it's a relief to learn that America.gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry.
The US executive branch is no longer acknowledging the existence of "artificial intelligence." Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to "Super Intelligence," thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

Before OpenAI launched its new AI agent, Dots, on Tuesday, Elon Musk's xAI had already acquired the domain name "dot.com," which now redirects to the Grok chatbot download page.
We evaluate several models on 100 tasks from the [internal Binary Exploitation benchmark] (selected at random), and find that GLM-5.3 develops full control flow hijacks in 4% of the trials; Claude Mythos Preview did so in 6%. Although GLM-5.3 performs below Claude Mythos Preview here, a meaningful threshold has clearly been crossed: earlier models, like Claude Opus 4.6 and GLM-5.2, do not succeed in any of them. — Anthropic Frontier Red Team , GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities Tags: anthro
New sculpture depicts AI leaders escaping a sinking ship.
Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles once again after a months-long pause. In August, Lawfare reported that articles on Grokipedia hadn't reviewed edits since April, but the platform's live updates site is now showing various recent changes to pages - though as I write this, many are just a […]
