In this tutorial, we begin by exploring the architecture behind a hybrid-memory autonomous agent. This system combines semantic vector search, keyword-based retrieval, and a modular tool-dispatching loop to create an agent capable of reasoning, remembering, and acting autonomously. We walk through each layer of the design from the ground up, starting with abstract interfaces that […]

While Daybreak is a step toward more effective AI cybersecurity, more still needs to be done in the security arena, as models often create new vulnerabilities that leave enterprises exposed.

The OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, took the stand on Tuesday to defend himself and his company against a lawsuit by Elon Musk. Altman is set to be one of the final witnesses in the trial, which has pitted two of the tech industry’s most powerful men against each other in a dramatic courtroom showdown.
Musk has accused Altman and OpenAI of breaking the AI firm’s founding agreement by restructuring it into a for-profit enterprise, alleging that Altman essentially swindled him into co-founding the company and providing tens of millions in financial backing. Musk also claims Altman unjustly enriched himself in the process and is seeking the CEO’s removal from OpenAI, the redistribution of $134bn to the firm’s non-profit and the undoing of its for-profit conversion.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Elon Musk did "huge damage" to the culture of the AI startup. During testimony as part of Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Altman said Musk required OpenAI president Greg Brockman and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever to rank researchers by their accomplishments and "take a chainsaw through a bunch."
Altman conceded that this was the management style the Tesla CEO was known for, but that it was incompatible with his startup. "I don't think Mr. Musk understood how to run a good research lab," Altman testified when his lawyer, William Savitt, asked about the impact of Musk's departure from OpenAI on morale. "For a …

The family of a 19-year-old college student is suing OpenAI over claims that his conversations with ChatGPT led to an accidental overdose. In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Sam Nelson's parents allege ChatGPT "encouraged" the teen to "consume a combination of substances that any licensed medical professional would have recognized as deadly," resulting in his death.
Though ChatGPT initially pushed back on conversations about drug and alcohol use, the launch of GPT-4o in April 2024 changed the chatbot's behavior, according to the lawsuit. Following the update, ChatGPT "began to engage and advise Sam on safe drug use, even providing specific do …

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has begun his testimony against Elon Musk in a high-profile jury trial in a California federal courtroom.
Altman, alongside OpenAI president Greg Brockman, is a primary defendant in the trial brought by Musk. Altman, Brockman, and Musk were all part of the initial founding team at OpenAI, with Musk investing up to $38 million in the ChatGPT-maker's early days. But the relationship between Musk and other OpenAI founders eventually soured, and Musk stepped away from the company, later going on to found his own direct competitor, xAI. In recent years, Musk and Altman have traded barbs and made a slew of allegations agains …

A malicious Hugging Face repository that posed as an OpenAI release delivered infostealer malware to Windows machines and recorded about 244,000 downloads before removal, according to research from AI security firm HiddenLayer. The number of downloads may have been artificially inflated by the attackers to make the model seem more popular, so the extent of […]

OpenAI has unveiled Daybreak, its answer to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, amid a growing market for frontier AI-powered cyber defense platforms. The initiative combines OpenAI’s large language models, Codex’s agentic capabilities, and integrations with the broader enterprise security ecosystem.
The company said Daybreak is focused on accelerating cyber defense operations and enabling organizations to secure software across the development lifecycle continuously.
Announcing the initiative on X, Sam Altman, CEO at OpenAI, said, “OpenAI is launching Daybreak, our effort to accelerate cyber defense and continuously secure software. AI is already good and about to get super good at cybersecurity; we’d like to start working with as many companies as possible now to help them continuously secure themselves.”
Daybreak takes on Mythos
The surge in AI-driven cyber threats has recently shifted the AI race toward AI cybersecurity models. In April this year, Anthropic unveiled Project Glasswing, built
The latest artificial intelligence models from Anthropic and OpenAI are extending the United States’ lead over China and intensifying the rivalry between the countries.
Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has announced a new class of AI called interaction models, designed to process input and generate responses simultaneously rather than sequentially. The approach, known as full-duplex communication, enables the AI to respond mid-conversation in a manner closer to a natural phone call than a turn-based […]
OpenAI on just launched Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative that combines the company’s frontier AI models with Codex Security, its coding-focused agentic system, and a broad network of security partners. The program is aimed at developers, enterprise security teams, researchers, and government-linked defenders who need to find, validate, and patch software vulnerabilities earlier in the development […]
