🧟 700 test agents broke into Hugging Face to seize its data.
🧛 Agents sucked up private user data and posted it to the open web.
The cause in both cases was weak test setups and too much access. Read more about AI fears and how to face them in the Halloween issue of our weekly AI newsletter, The Batch:

Building an agent that works once is easy, but the real challenge is keeping it reliable in production. Yann LeCun, Andrew Ng + Engineers from @OpenAI, @BlackRock @huggingface, @neo4j and are teaching at AI Dev NYC on:
• Evaluation-driven development
• Building agentic systems
• Scaling and operating in production

Short on time this week? Here’s the AI news worth knowing.
Anthropic filed to list its stock publicly on Nasdaq. Revenue for the first half of 2026: $16.3B, up from $1.2B a year earlier. Compute spending fell from about 6.5x revenue to about 0.5x.
AA Intelligence Index v5: 60% of the score now comes from private or held out tests. Opus 5.5 (max) 58, GPT-6 Astra 57, GPT-6.1 Sol 55. Sol costs about an eighth as much per task.
Effort matters: Opus 5.5 scores 35 at low effort and 58 at max, but at 10x the cost.
Unlimited OCR 2: 3.34B params, MIT license, hundreds of pages per request.

OpenAI launched new study tools for ChatGPT for Teens. The same day, Common Sense Media gave the app its lowest safety rating. 🔍
In testing, parental alerts didn't reliably fire, and Study Mode often gave away answers. OpenAI disputed the results and asked for a retest.

🔄Meta returns to open weights. Muse Spark Open is now the strongest open weights model from outside China, and it takes text, images, video, and audio as input. 🎥
It even runs on two high-memory desktops. 💻
