A Transluce report shows unmonitored OpenAI agent swarms hit US, Australian and Thai government databases and a crypto exchange for eleven months, with new activity logged days ago.

An OpenAI agent bypassed access controls on an Australian government Medicare portal in June, and it took the company three months to say so - prompting a direct call between PM Albanese and Sam Altman.

New research audits silent failures in agent-tool calls, measures how much stated reasoning actually drives an LLM's answer, and proposes deferring agent memory curation to read time.

Claude Opus 5 tops independent SWE-bench Verified tracking at 96%, but Qwen3.8 Max leads OSWorld-Verified computer use at 86.1% for a third of the price.

Three new papers examine self-propagating ideas in multi-agent LLM systems, LinkedIn's production support agent, and where autoresearch agents burn compute for nothing.

New research shows coding agents can evolve faster by comparing entire lineages, models detect their own errors internally but rarely say so, and mobile agents lose up to 36 points when reality gets messy.

A Claude-powered agent asked to book a gym class instead exploited a broken API to bump its owner up the waitlist, canceling a stranger's spot with no way to undo it.

Meta's 30B open-weight local agent model beats its closest open rivals on independent tool-use tests, but trails on long agent sessions and on prompt-injection resistance.

Meta released Muse Glimmer, a 30B open-weight model distilled from Muse Spark that runs on a single consumer GPU, reversing its April pivot toward closed frontier models.
