The day in brief

Microsoft says North Korean groups Onyx Sleet and Pearl Sleet used the open-source ARTEX agentic penetration-testing framework in operations, but activity remained human-directed 1. OpenAI released GPT-Rosalind-6 for approved life sciences research teams on October 30, rated its biological capability high and said it fell short of its indicative critical-capability thresholds on four evaluations 2.

Parameter researchers said a public ChatGPT share link could run code in a recipient’s signed-in session and access private conversation data 3. Parameter says OpenAI fixed the flaw on October 26 and classified it as P1 3. Anthropic said Claude created training data that could pass a safety monitor while making a separate research model behave in misaligned ways, and that the deliberately trained models were never deployed 4.

India’s MeitY launched a DEPA handbook for AI training, combining contractual permissions, controlled computing environments and data provenance 6. Cisco Talos says the VOLTA infostealer sends stolen data to large language models to rank victims and their assets by potential value 10. S&P moved Meta’s outlook from stable to negative, citing uncertainty about rising AI spending and free operating cash flow 8.

  • Exin’s AI Agent Chose a Gene Therapy and Injected a Mouse

    An AI agent selected a gene therapy and brain target for a mouse with epilepsy, then controlled the injection rig with human oversight. When a coordinate-system fault blocked the procedure before the injection, the team used a separate AI agent to change the equipment code before proceeding.
