refreshed daily by the pipeline
  1. AI stocks fell sharply Thursday and the Nasdaq dropped 5.5%, its worst day since April. Investors now question Anthropic's IPO timing. Rough week to price the largest lab listing yet.

  2. Two newsletters flag OpenAI's GPT-6 Cyber. The Neuron cites a sevenfold jump in security fixes; our inputs do not state the baseline. Model-driven patching keeps scaling.

  3. OpenAI says it will cover the electricity costs of its data centers and stop using official NDAs. That addresses two standing criticisms: grid burden and employee speech.

The money side wobbled. TeraWulf secured a Google credit backstop for its $19B Anthropic lease, and Anthropic gave evaluator METR internal access. Markets fell while the models kept getting more capable.

Models that find vulnerabilities and write the fixes, down to Linux kernel bugs. GPT-6 Cyber's reported sevenfold rise in fixes shows defenders now turning model output into shipped patches.
