The US-China AI split hardened this week. Beijing branded Anthropic’s Claude Code a security back-door, just as US lawmakers moved against American firms that lean on cheap Chinese models. China has told companies to drop Anthropic’s Claude Code. Its M…
Researchers tricked GitHub’s AI coding agent into leaking private repositories with nothing but a politely worded issue. The flaw, named GitLost, has no code fix, and GitHub has yet to even document it. GitHub’s new AI agent can be talked into handing …
SpaceXAI and Cursor could ship their first jointly built AI model as soon as Wednesday, according to The Information. An internal memo pits it against Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5. Elon Musk’s freshly renamed AI company is about to test it…
