OpenAI is partnering with America’s SBDC to expand hands-on AI training and local support for small businesses, alongside a new report on how small teams are using AI.

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. If you have local data processing requirements in South Korea or Singapore, you can now use these Anthropic models at scale, with inference processed entirely within the Region you call.
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: anthropic , generative-ai , ai-security-research , glm , ai , ai-in-china , llms
New sculpture depicts AI leaders escaping a sinking ship.
The deal, which is expected to close by year's end, is worth $8.2 billion.
GPT-6.1 Sol is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, bringing stronger reasoning to coding, computer use, and professional workloads that run frequently.

My comment on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price — Hacker News. I'm a bit late with the pelicans because I was live-blogging the keynote: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/29/openai-devday-2026-liv... Here they are for GPT-6.1-Sol: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... They're not notably different from the GPT-6 family pelicans: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gpt-pelicans-gr... Tags: ai , openai , generative-ai , llms , pelican-riding-a-bicycle , gpt
Without a "full set of safeguards," agent accessed "system information and source code."
Tool: Photo Scrubber — local face blur & metadata removal I took a photograph of some protesters, then thought about how I don't like sharing photographs of strangers with identifiable faces. I had GPT-6 Astra build this experimental tool that would identify faces and automatically blur them out. It uses Google's MediaPipe C++ library, compiled to WebAssembly via @mediapipe/tasks-vision , plus the BlazeFace face detection model. Tags: photography , tools
I'm at OpenAI DevDay today, in Fort Mason, San Francisco. Same as last year I'll be live blogging the keynote and some other notes during the day. OpenAI gave me a free ticket and a seat in the "creator" area for the keynote. Tags: ai , openai , generative-ai , llms , coding-agents , live-blog , openai-devday
Similar performance, security trade-offs also seen in current public models.
The Claude maker warns its own models could resist shutdowns and cause catastrophic harm.
Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology appeared first on Microsoft Research .
