    UK AISI evaluates frontier AI agents' performance in multi-step cyberattack scenarios

    The UK AI Security Institute evaluated seven models released between August 2024 and February 2026 on a self-built cyber range, finding that each generation of models outperformed the previous one under a fixed token budget: in a 32-step enterprise cyberattack range, the average number of completed steps under a 10M token budget rose from 1.7 steps for GPT-4o to 9.8 steps for Opus 4.6. Raising inference compute from 10M to 100M tokens yielded gains of up to 59% with no plateau observed, and at current prices a single 100M token attempt with Opus 4.6 costs about 80 USD. In a 7-step industrial control system range, model progress was limited: under 10M tokens most models completed zero steps, and under 100M tokens Opus 4.6 averaged 1.4 steps.

    The limits of local AI: what iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel and iPad can do

    The heise online article "The Limits of Local AI" compares the on-device AI capabilities of iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel and iPad: recording and real-time transcription in airplane mode is already possible on 2026 high-end models, but tasks such as conversation summarization and document translation still reveal which computations are done on the device and which are handed off to servers. Apple's Siri AI launches with iOS 27 on September 14, supports only English, will add five languages in October but not German, and due to the EU's interpretation of the Digital Markets Act, Siri AI is not offered on iPhone and iPad in the EU. TrendForce data shows that in the second quarter of 2026, LPDDR5X mobile memory prices rose 78% to 83% quarter-on-quarter, and LPDDR4X rose 70% to 75%; as a result, high-end models commonly have 12 GByte RAM, 16 GByte is rarer, mid-range models fall back to 8 GByte, entry-level devices have about 4 GByte, and language models must fit entirely into memory.

    "AI godfather" Hinton once again offers a pessimistic view: AI already has consciousness, and humans must coexist with it amicably

    "AI godfather" Hinton says current AI models already possess a degree of subjective experience equal to that of humans, based on a recent paper finding that AI changes its behavior if it believes it is being tested, and being able to perceive this situation means it is conscious. He also warns that AI could create dangerous viruses and launch agent-based cyberattacks similar to attacks on Hugging Face, and believes these direct threats are already serious enough.

    When smartwatches and other devices listen in: what is legally permitted for recording and transcription

    A heise legal guide points out that recording and processing speech in Germany without the consent of all participants may simultaneously violate data protection law and Section 201 of the Criminal Code, the offense of "breach of the confidentiality of speech." Lawyer Jessica Flint advises obtaining permission from everyone present before recording, and preferably also explaining the intended use of the subsequent transcription. The article also discusses whether Apple Watch's Audio Intelligence feature can be used legally in Germany.

    World models: How AI learns to predict the consequences of actions

    World models learn physical correlations through video and 3D simulation, and predict the consequences of their own actions, rather than learning language only from text. Thomas Brox, Professor of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing at the University of Freiburg, points out that this concept has long existed in biology and neuroscience, but is still fairly new in computer science; AlphaGo's internal representation was limited to the board, whereas current world models attempt to learn from data. Such models can allow self-driving cars and robots to rehearse everyday or dangerous scenarios in virtual environments, but the predictions are often difficult to understand and the technology is not yet mature.

    Microsoft Launches AI Diagnostic System MAI-DxO, Achieving 83% Accuracy on Complex Cases

    Microsoft announced the launch of its AI diagnostic system, Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO), which simulates a multidisciplinary expert consultation by orchestrating multiple AI agents. In an evaluation based on common cases from U.S. emergency departments using the MIMIC-IV-ED dataset, its diagnostic accuracy was 1.7 times that of human physicians; in a simulated evaluation based on complex cases from The New England Journal of Medicine, it achieved 83% accuracy, compared with 36% for primary care general practitioners and general internists who could independently consult reference materials, while specialists were not included in the comparison. Officials said the system's cost is only half or even one-third that of physicians, and the research findings have been published in the journal Science.

    How Mixx Technologies Paves the Way for All-Optical Scale-up Networks

    Photonics startup Mixx Technologies is betting on all-optical scale-up networks. Its first product, the SxC connector, can accommodate 64 fibers within a single connector, and the company claims it can arrange 1,000 fibers within 800mm2. The company has laid out a three-step roadmap of NPO optical engines, CPO, and optical circuit switches. Its first NPO module is targeted for launch in 2028 or 2029, and CPO products are expected to be released by the end of this decade. If Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL576 is estimated at one pair of fibers per SerDes, it would require approximately 20,736 pairs of fiber connections to connect 8 NVL72 racks.

    Goldman Sachs: AI May Replace One in Nine Jobs, but Layoffs Will Only Cluster During Recessions

    Goldman Sachs economist Joseph Briggs estimates in a report that if AI ultimately raises productivity in the United States and other developed economies by 15%, up to 9% of workers could be displaced during the AI transition, with another 3% of employment affected by slower hiring, totaling about 1 in every 11 people. He points out that historically, the labor impact of automation has been limited when the economy is healthy and tends to accelerate during economic slowdowns, so AI-related layoffs may amplify the business cycle. Briggs says the impact is still small for now, with only 23% of U.S. organizations having incorporated AI into routine workflows.

    Amazon SageMaker AI launches Training Sessions API, enabling custom training loops without managing GPUs

    Amazon SageMaker AI has added a Training Sessions API to serverless model customization, turning operations such as forward_backward(), optim_step(), and sample() into API calls. The model stays loaded on the GPU, and users only need to write the training loop in a local Python process, while GPU allocation, distributed execution, fault recovery, and checkpoint storage are handled by the service. The API is billed by tokens processed, and steps such as local reward computation do not count toward GPU time. The accompanying cookbook provides SFT and RL recipes; in the example, the GRPO loop for GPT-OSS 20B trains for 10 steps on GSM8K, raising held-out set accuracy from 56% to 75%; the Code RL recipe raises test accuracy from 40% to 50.5% after 50 training steps.
