OpenAI is introducing a more cyber-permissive version of GPT-5.6 Sol to vetted defenders as it prepares companies for autonomous cyberattacks . Why it matters: The move comes just days after OpenAI said it was delaying the release of its forthcoming model, Astra, after it reached critical hacking abilities during safety testing. The big picture: OpenAI is unveiling GPT-5.6-Cyber while also expanding Daybreak , its program that gives cybersecurity defenders access to the company's cyber models and other tools. - Many cyber defenders have been experiencing high refusal rates across frontier AI models as the labs try to balance giving defenders the tools they need, while not accidentally leaking those abilities to malicious hackers. -…
Industry leaders had worried that innovations in chip miniaturization were no longer possible.
Energy Department undersecretary Darío Gil is taking a long-term view of science and technology. Why it matters: While President Trump's second term has been marked by high-drama fights over AI policy, Gil's been working behind the scenes to strengthen U.S. competitiveness in science and tech. The big picture: A familiar pattern is unfolding in AI policy. - An AI lab comes out with a frighteningly powerful model, sending officials scrambling, and states advance AI laws — which spark congressional efforts to get a federal standard in place. - Gil is trying to spearhead a different approach where the federal government plays a larger role in shaping emerging technologies before crises emerge or competitors like China gain an…
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna backed the Trump administration's executive order on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity at Axios' AI+NY Summit Wednesday, preferring light government guardrails over more active intervention. The big picture: The long-awaited order is an attempt to fortify the country's cyber defenses, but it doesn't compel AI companies to share information about their latest models. Driving the news: "You want to have light regulation ... and not creating a big bureaucracy that can slow things down," Krishna told Axios' Maria Curi. - Krishna, who has appeared beside the president as he's cheered on American AI development, has said the government has to find a "Goldilocks" zone to regulate AI without hampering…
After the modest $17 million agreement with the company, officials say they expect it to be the first of many such settlements.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Tuesday that it will begin targeting American-based technology companies operating in the Middle East, stating what it considers "legitimate targets are gradually expanding."

Companies across sectors are confronting an increasingly unavoidable narrative: AI can replicate your business. Why it matters: Narrative volatility is a new risk category that communications teams must prepare for in the age of AI . - All it takes is one widely read doomsday essay, research paper or X thread to knock billions off a company's market cap. Case in point: A viral 7,000-word memo that warned of a hypothetical AI future — in which companies rush to replace human workers with AI tools that themselves are rapidly commoditized — sent markets tumbling. - Meanwhile, essays from AI founders and researchers are shaping investor psychology, and product rollouts from AI giants like Anthropic are being treated as existential…
Supremacy can be fleeting in the highly competitive AI race. But two months into 2026, Anthropic's Claude is upending U.S. national security, roiling financial markets and redefining how startups are built. Why it matters: The company is in the middle of the most important fight of the era — how much power to give AI in the face of threats, real and virtual. - Anthropic said this week it would soften the central commitment of its flagship safety framework, acknowledging that unilateral safety pledges won't survive a world where rivals have no such constraints. - For a company that has long positioned itself as the AI industry's conscience, it was a remarkable reversal — on the same day that the Pentagon threatened to effectively…
