OpenAI Is Saving a Dozen Launches for DevDay — Starting With GPT-6 Cyber

-
Image
If you’ve noticed OpenAI going quiet over the last two weeks, that silence was deliberate. The company has reportedly been stockpiling announcements for its annual DevDay on September 29, when it plans to ship a dozen or more products — and the first one is already leaking out: GPT-6 Cyber, its fourth cybersecurity-focused model this year alone. According to a Fortune report, GPT-6 Cyber is designed to help customers deploy AI models more securely and automate the patching of vulnerabilities. It will work as a kind of gateway product for enterprises — similar to how ChatGPT serves as the entry point for consumer models like GPT-6 Astra — letting companies build automated defenses while giving OpenAI more oversight into how its models are used. A limited number of customers in OpenAI’s Daybreak Red program, the company’s advanced cybersecurity access tier, are already testing the model in alpha. This is part of a cybersecurity product line OpenAI has been building steadily all year: GPT...

Microsoft Just Turned Copilot Into a Super App — With Code and Autopilot

-
Image
 Microsoft just gave Copilot its biggest makeover yet — and it's no longer just a chat window. On Friday, the company unveiled a redesigned Copilot built around three new capabilities: Home, Code, and Autopilot, with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint baked directly into the app. It's a bid to turn Copilot into a one-stop shop for office work, and a direct answer to ChatGPT and Claude's enterprise push. Home: the new starting point Home replaces the plain chat box as Copilot's landing page. It brings together Chat (quick questions, lookups, drafts) and Cowork (end-to-end delegated work like RFP responses, launch kits, and financial close packages). The big deal is "Office in Copilot": Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now live inside the app. Ask Copilot to draft a launch brief, model a budget, or build a deck, and it creates a real, editable document in front of your whole team — with collaborators' edits appearing live. Code: build apps in plain English Code is aimed...

Google Says Gemini 4 Is Coming "Much Earlier" Than Year-End

-
Image
  Google's next flagship AI model just got a timeline. Koray Kavukcuoglu — the new chief of Google DeepMind — said this week that Gemini 4 has entered post-training, and he expects it to arrive "much earlier" than the end of the year. The comment came during his first public appearance since taking over DeepMind, at The Information's AI Agenda Live Summit. His quote: "Our intention is to roll out an early post-training version as soon as possible, because we've already seen promising results and are very excited." What post-training actually means Post-training is the last big phase before a model meets the public. The heavy pre-training — where the model absorbs its data — is done. What's left is the careful tuning that teaches it to follow instructions, use tools, hold conversations, and refuse things it should refuse. Reaching this stage is a genuine timing signal, even though Google hasn't published benchmarks, pricing, or a feature list yet....

Adobe Just Brought Photoshop to Gemini — and PDFs to Claude

-
Image
You might never need to open Photoshop again — at least not the app itself. Adobe announced on Thursday that it is pushing its creative and productivity tools directly into AI assistants. Photoshop, Lightroom, Express, and Firefly capabilities are coming to Google's Gemini, while the Adobe plugin inside Claude is gaining Acrobat tools so users can work with PDFs right alongside Adobe's creative apps. Adobe says both integrations are rolling out globally, with the Gemini tools available across all Gemini plans. What exactly is coming On the Gemini side, you'll be able to tap into Adobe's flagship creative powers from inside a conversation with Google's AI assistant — think photo edits, design work, and Firefly's generative image features without switching to a separate app. On the Claude side, the upgrade is about documents: Acrobat tools let you work with PDFs — summarize, extract, and related tasks — inside Claude's existing Adobe plugin, next to the c...

Meta's Muse Glimmer Is a 30B AI Model That Runs on Your Laptop

-
Image
Meta's AI announcements just keep coming. Days after putting its Muse assistant at the center of Connect 2026, Meta's Superintelligence Labs unveiled a very different kind of product: Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter AI model you can download and run on an ordinary Mac or PC with a single consumer GPU. What It Is Muse Glimmer isn't another chatbot you talk to in the cloud. It's an open-weight model — Meta released its weights under the Apache 2.0 license, one of the most permissive open-source licenses around. That means developers can download it, tweak it, and build on it freely, with no API key or cloud subscription required. It's purpose-built for "always-on local agent workflows": AI helpers that live on your machine, call functions, reason through multi-step tasks, and help with coding — all locally. It can also act as an "LLM-as-a-judge," evaluating the output of other AI models, which is a genuinely handy tool for developers building ...

Claude Just Found a Brand-New Enzyme System That Looks Like CRISPR

-
Image
AI models have read every paper, summarized every forum thread, and answered every homework question. Now they're doing actual science. This week Anthropic announced something genuinely startling: its Claude AI autonomously discovered a brand-new enzyme system hidden inside viral DNA — one that no human researcher had ever spotted. The find looks structurally like CRISPR, the gene-editing breakthrough that won a Nobel Prize. Anthropic is calling the new system ART, short for array-associated reverse transcriptases, and it published the results as a preprint on September 23. Here's how it happened. Earlier this year Anthropic quietly built a life sciences research group — including a small wet lab in the Bay Area — to test a bold idea: that AI could systematize scientific discovery, not just answer questions about it. For this first big test, the team pointed roughly 950 Claude agent sessions at a huge database of reverse transcriptase enzyme sequences and gave them a broad ...

Anthropic Just Signed an $11.6 Billion Cloud Deal With Akamai

-
Image
  The AI race has quietly turned into a real-estate race — for data centers. On September 24, 2026, Anthropic made the biggest play yet: an $11.6 billion, seven-year cloud computing deal with Akamai Technologies. That's not a typo. Eleven point six billion dollars, just to rent the computing power needed to train and run AI models like Claude. THE DEAL, IN PLAIN TERMS Under the seven-year contract, Anthropic gets a long-term supply of cloud capacity from Akamai. The headline number could grow: the agreement can expand by up to $9 billion more, pushing the potential total commitment to about $20 billion. But the real surprise is the stock. Akamai issued Anthropic a warrant — a right to buy shares — that could give the AI lab up to 5 percent of Akamai's outstanding stock: about 7.7 million shares at $111.33 each. Roughly 2 percent vests under the initial $11.6 billion commitment, and the remaining 3 percent vests only if the deal expands. Wall Street loved it: Akamai's shares...
