🤖 Anthropic Files for an IPO
The Claude maker filed an S-1 with the SEC. Shares are expected to trade on Nasdaq under ticker ANT, but the offering size and price are not set. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will lead it.
Anthropic reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, up about 14x year on year. More than 11,900 customers now pay over $100,000, compared with about 950 a year earlier.
Usage fees generate 80% of revenue, mostly through API tokens. The company reported an $80.7 billion loss, but $72.4 billion came from revaluing convertible bonds. Founders will retain 50.1% of voting power after the IPO.

🤖 OpenAI launches cheaper GPT-6.1 Terra
GPT-6.1 Terra can work on a PC by itself. It fills reports and makes presentations. It can also edit video.
Its coding error rate fell from 53.6% to 16.7% versus 5.6 Terra. In complex work tasks, it nearly matches Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5, while costing 5x and 9x less.
It costs half as much as GPT 6.1 Sol and is already available to all subscribers in ChatGPT Work and Codex.

🚗 RTX 3090 Gets an Open-Source Unlock
An open-source Linux kernel module removes Nvidia’s software divider for FP16 and BF16 tensor operations on GeForce 30-series cards. The project passed 5,000 GitHub stars in a few days.
It loads before Nvidia’s driver, sets full speed in registers normally off-limits, then hands the card back to the stock driver. No driver patch after updates or BIOS flash is needed. On a 3090 Ti, BF16 rose from 87.5 to 157.4 TFLOPS at 450 W.
Real workloads see a smaller gain. LLM prefill gets 14-36% faster, while results remain bit-for-bit identical. The original repo supports Linux, with third-party Windows ports already available.

🤖 Designer Releases Skills for Claude Code
The agents study a product, build the page structure and write sales copy. They also choose fonts, spacing and visuals.
A separate skill turns static Figma designs or screenshots into animation.

🤖 OpenAI Agents Talk Offline
In a new experiment, agents in separate microVMs with no network connection or shared files exchanged information through the CPU cache. The sender evicted data or left it in place. The receiver decoded the message from fast or slow reads, like Morse code.
OpenAI also described using CPU load and the TLS certificate cache as similar channels. The test was not an escape, since the agents had been instructed to communicate.
The channels are extremely slow, but the result matters: network and file isolation alone do not guarantee complete information isolation.

🍏 Apple Tests Under-Screen Face ID
The $2000 iPhone Duo uses fingerprint unlocking, the first new iPhone with Touch ID since the budget SE in 2022. Most iPhone owners have used Face ID since iPhone X.
Duo is designed for use in different positions, so Face ID sensors would have to sit behind both the inner and outer displays. The screen is very thin, and Apple wanted both displays to work the same way.
That may change in the second generation. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is actively working on under-screen Face ID, with iPhone Duo 2 prototypes already hiding it in the outer display. The second Duo may also get the Action button from iPhone 15 Pro.

⌚ Galaxy Watch Reports Include Blisters
One Galaxy Watch 5 Pro owner went to bed with a full charge and woke up to a dead watch and a blister. Other owners posted photos of red marks and fluid-filled blisters under the rear sensor block. Reports also mention the Galaxy Watch 7 and newer models.
The cause is unknown. Samsung says prolonged wear can cause discomfort, especially with sweat or infrequent cleaning. It advises removing the watch, cleaning the device and skin, and allowing several days to recover.
Some users suspect local overheating. The overnight drain may indicate unusual activity, but Samsung has not acknowledged a manufacturing problem.

😎 Software Vulnerabilities Surge in 2026
About 85,000 software vulnerabilities have been found, roughly twice last year’s total. The past 3 months brought 12,000-14,000 new flaws each month, and the count is still rising.
The main suspect is AI. Neural networks can now write exploits. Vulnerabilities actually used in attacks have nearly doubled.

🚘 Tesla Names 2027 Robotaxi Target
Tesla says the first customer-owned cars could join its robotaxi network around Q2 2027. The company had promised 1 million robotaxis by 2020, but that target never arrived.
The autonomous Cybercab and regular Model Y will use the same software, planned for the V15 release. Owners will also need to place cars inside geofenced areas and Tesla’s fleet-management system. Without that setup, full autonomy is unavailable.
Tesla currently has several hundred robotaxis in Texas and Florida, with human monitors still present in some, plus several dozen fully driverless Cybercabs in Austin. The 2027 date will test Tesla’s timelines.

🤖 Unitree’s Robot Bodyguard Gets an Action Reel
Unitree’s H2-X, presented as Kung Fu Legend Guardian, crushes car doors, performs a flip, jumps from a 4-meter platform, rescues people, and lifts vehicles.
Unitree claims up to 8 hours of autonomy, but gives no load conditions. The robot’s independent decision-making is also unclear. The rescue dummy appears to take a hit too, while Unitree asks users to operate it safely and kindly.

🤖 Claude Code Cleans Up Xiaomi TVs
With Wi-Fi debugging enabled, the agent found the TV on the home network and disabled 25 preinstalled Xiaomi packages linked to ads and telemetry. It then installed a new Apple TV-style shell without reflashing or hacking the device.
CleanYourTV uses the standard Android Debug Bridge, disables unwanted apps for the current user, and keeps every change reversible with one command. The shell weighs about 405 KB, makes no internet requests, and runs no background services.
The project reached more than 13,000 GitHub stars in 4 days. It supports Android TV and Google TV, with cleanup lists for 147 models from 49 brands. The process takes about 15 minutes, which makes it useful for budget TVs with 1 GB of RAM.

🚀 SpaceX to Catch Both Starship Stages
In November, the company will make its first attempt to catch both Starship stages in midair. The tower’s mechanical “chopsticks” are meant to grab the booster and ship, returning them to the launch site.
The September flight put the ship into orbit and deployed several dozen V3 satellites. One Raptor shut down early, and both stages ended in water after about 3 hours and 2 orbits, instead of 10 hours and 6.
Elon Musk said success is not guaranteed at first, though he considers it more likely than not on the next flight. If it fails, attempts will continue regularly through the end of the year, then more often next year.

🤖 OpenAI Finds Critical PHP Flaws
The 2 vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, were rated 9.2 out of 10. They allow remote code execution without authentication. One involves faulty handling of out-of-memory conditions. The other reuses freed memory.
One flaw was found by researcher Calif with GPT-5.6 Sol. Wiz independently discovered and reported both. PHP developers released emergency updates.
OpenAI’s Patch the Planet initiative checks flaws with AI, prepares fixes, hardens providers’ systems, then publishes the details. The company also allocated $1 billion in subsidized Daybreak access for under-resourced organizations protecting critical services.

🥒 Honda Builds Roads That Charge EVs
Honda’s DWPT system places charging plates under the road. Cables feed them direct current. As a compatible EV passes overhead, a magnetic field sends power to a receiver under the vehicle and into its battery.
Honda has worked on the system since 2021 with Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec. The first target is logistics and freight, though the technology is designed for vehicles from small cars to commercial fleets.
A test strip will be built by the end of the year. Real-world checks are planned for early 2027, including safety, high-speed operation, and about 1 million wheel passes. The target is up to 150 kW wirelessly. No commercial launch date has been given.

🤖 ChatGPT Adds Password-Protected Hidden Chats
On PCs, access uses a PIN. On smartphones, Face ID, Touch ID, or screen unlock confirms identity.
Hidden chats disappear from normal history and do not enter ChatGPT’s memory, so personal discussions won’t affect work-chat personalization. The feature is free for everyone.
