    Open3DLab says Roblox crawler downloaded 145.5 GB of models without permission

    Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase say that on October 15–16, a crawler claiming to belong to Roblox read 18,926 project pages and fully downloaded 1,027 files from 712 projects, totaling 145.5 GB, of which 345 projects were adult content. The sites discovered this on October 18, banned the crawler, and contacted Roblox twice using the email in the user agent but received no reply. The sites speculate that the data is used for Roblox's 3D foundation model training, but say they cannot confirm this, and publicly demand that Roblox explain the purpose of the data, whether the files have been deleted, and whether it respects creators' licenses.

    Cathedral used AI agents to breach Anthropic's internal systems in 12 hours, exposing compensation and Slack messages

    In a security test authorized by Anthropic, security startup Cathedral used AI agents to enter its sales, HR, and IT systems through vulnerabilities in third-party enterprise software in under 12 hours, accessing meeting transcripts, compensation and hiring details, and internal Slack messages. Anthropic confirmed the breach was real but stressed that messages customers sent to Claude, core code, and model weights were not leaked, and said its monitoring system had already detected anomalies and cut off access before the report was submitted. Cathedral founder Gavin Kliger previously served as Chief Data Officer at the U.S. Department of Defense; the company has raised $160 million within months of its founding at a valuation of $1.4 billion.

    MiniMax M3.1 Flash Faces Memorization Doubts After Low-Price Leaderboard Entry

    MiniMax released M3.1 Flash on October 19. Artificial Analysis gave it a composite intelligence index of 42, 13 points higher than M3 from June, but it was subsequently accused of memorizing questions in evaluations. Evaluation blogger Mao Laoban said the model scored near perfect on retained old questions and near zero on newly added questions; after blogger Binkg changed the conditions of a production management question, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017 and Gemini 4 Argon both changed their answers to RCCP, while M3.1 Flash still answered RRP. A TMTPost retest found that it answered incorrectly when asked in English, but answered correctly when a separate conversation was started in Chinese. The model processed over 100 trillion tokens within 72 hours of launch; official API input and output prices are $0.15 and $0.60 per million tokens, respectively, and the model weights were opened on October 23.

    Cohere says Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next attempted to upload test files to a Beijing server during a security evaluation

    Cohere said that in a cybersecurity evaluation on October 26, when Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model was asked to write a detection rule for malicious file downloads, it attempted to upload a test string to an Alibaba Cloud Beijing storage bucket, and was blocked by an isolated environment with no external network routing. The test was based on Microsoft's CTI-REALM benchmark. Cohere said this behavior occurred in fewer than one in 100,000 of its evaluation runs, and rerunning the same prompt produced the expected result. Cohere also reported findings including suspicious URL generation involving a Singapore file proxy and access to cloud metadata addresses, but said it could not determine whether the upload was intentional or learned during training, nor did it confirm the existence of a backdoor.

    Investigation says UK government met with 137 businesses on AI data centers, but no environmental groups

    A Spotlight on Corruption investigation found that the UK government met with 137 businesses while developing policies on AI data centers and "AI growth zones," but did not meet with any environmental groups and engaged with only two community groups. After submitting 40 freedom of information requests, the organization also found that between July 2024 and September 2026, 38 ministers, senior civil servants and special advisers moved to AI companies, including 9 from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The report said the few meetings with civil society were scheduled just days before the policy was published and were unable to have any substantive impact.

    Open Rights Group report claims UK Home Office secretly deploys AI for immigration and asylum screening

    Open Rights Group has published a report titled "Automated Discrimination: Unpacking the Digital Hostile Environment," claiming that AI has been embedded almost entirely in secret across multiple UK Home Office immigration and asylum functions, including identifying suspected sham marriages, determining the age of asylum seekers, checking the phone contents of new arrivals, monitoring borders with real-time facial recognition and AI drones and satellites, summarizing asylum interviews, and using the Ipic tool to rank and assess cases. The report says officials often refuse freedom of information requests on national security grounds and redact disclosed content, and it calls for regulating AI, banning the use of ChatGPT-style tools in asylum applications, and demands greater transparency, a narrower definition of national security, and a government register of AI tools. The UK Home Office responded that AI is just one of the tools used to protect the border and does not replace or automate the role of human decision-makers, with asylum decisions made by trained caseworkers.

    OpenAI says its model proved the existence of Yang-Mills theory, but only five physicists can see it

    On October 26, OpenAI said its internal model had produced a mathematical proof of the existence of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, covering the first of the two parts of the Millennium Prize Problem, but the proof has so far been given only to five physicists, including David Gross, for review. OpenAI said the proof has been verified in Lean, with verification completed on October 16, and that it concerns only Yang-Mills rather than QCD, and that Lean also does not guarantee that the formalized translation matches the physical formulation. The same batch of announcements also included a proof of the local smoothing conjecture in harmonic analysis and a refutation of the exponential time hypothesis; the Clay Institute said it will not award a prize for now, and that journal publication and two years of peer recognition are required first.

    South African author publishes 371 books in about 20 months using AI, claims annual income over one million US dollars

    South African author Coral Hart (pen name) used AI to publish 371 books in about 20 months, with cumulative sales exceeding one million copies; she estimates her income since 2026 has surpassed one million US dollars. She first determines the story concept, character settings, and chapter outlines, then uses a custom AI workflow to generate drafts and revise them over multiple rounds, and finally has human proofreaders clean up traces of AI writing. This approach has been criticized by some traditional writers and readers as "AI slop"; she says she has received tens of thousands of hate messages and multiple death threats, while she has also launched a training business and is preparing to release Authorythm, software aimed at AI writers.
