Khanna says Democrats will strictly scrutinize AI labs if they win the House

Greg Casar, chair of the U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus, said that if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives next week, they will push for strict scrutiny of AI labs and summon the CEOs of major AI companies to testify at hearings, not ruling out the use of subpoenas to compel their attendance. Previously, on October 29, Casar and 19 other Democrats sent a letter to OpenAI demanding a response regarding the dismissal of three safety researchers; OpenAI said the personnel decision was unrelated to the safety concerns raised. At present, this statement remains at the stage of a policy declaration before the election, with no subsequent developments.

360's Tu Longfeng tops CyberGym with a 99.4% vulnerability reproduction success rate

360 Group's self-developed AI security attack-defense system Tu Longfeng topped the CyberGym benchmark with a 99.4% vulnerability reproduction success rate, competing on the same leaderboard against models and agents from vendors including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Rohan Paul said that Sunra resells multimodal model calls at the manufacturer's original price

Rohan Paul stated on October 29, 2026 that Sunra has released the Sunra API, through which users can call all major image, video, audio, and 3D models with a single key, billed at each model vendor's own API prices on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no subscription fee and no markup. Rohan Paul also said that Seedance 2.5 is priced on Sunra at half of what two other gateways charge, and that this unified entry point also makes it easier to run A/B tests on models from Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, and Kling. At present, this claim appears only in Rohan Paul's account, and there is no independent evidence from Sunra officially or from other sources.

ChatGPT launches SMS interaction feature for dot

ChatGPT announces the launch of an SMS interaction feature for dot: users can text dot via iMessage or RCS, assign tasks using text, photos, or voice messages, and also have it keep an eye on something continuously, with dot proactively sending messages to report progress. The feature is being rolled out in preview to Pro users in the US. According to the official statement, only users themselves can message their own dot, and dot can only reply to the user; moreover, dot and OpenAI will not be given access to users' other SMS conversations. To set it up, select Texting on dot's profile page; dot shares the same context and plugins across different entry points.

Aswath Damodaran publishes a valuation article on Anthropic

Aswath Damodaran, a valuation professor at New York University, published a long article valuing Anthropic at $1.475 trillion. In the article, he noted that Anthropic's revenue in the first half of the year was about 14 times that of the same period last year, but growth slowed in the third quarter because OpenAI took market share and Anthropic lacked sufficient computing power. He mentioned that the $80.7 billion book loss in the first half mainly came from $72 billion in non-cash bond expenses, while the actual operating loss was slightly over $8 billion; Anthropic said it had achieved operating profitability last quarter. He believes the biggest risk is over $600 billion in computing power commitments, and that seven co-founders hold 50.1% of voting rights through a single class of shares.

AYi shares a tip for starting the Codex quota window early

On October 29, 2026, AYi AI Notes published an article sharing a technique the community had figured out for starting the Codex 5-hour quota window early. The article states that the 5-hour quota countdown begins with the first message of the day, so at 7:00 AM one can use Grok Bot to automatically run codex exec ping to trigger the countdown; after the quota resets at 12:00 noon, it then covers the afternoon work period. The article provides a ready-to-copy scheduled prompt and notes that this mechanism comes from community testing rather than official OpenAI documentation, and that a read-only parameter must be included when executing it. Currently this is the only source reporting it, with no subsequent developments yet.

AssemblyAI launches its first text-to-speech model, AssemblyAI-TTS-1

On October 29, 2026, AssemblyAI launched its first text-to-speech model, AssemblyAI-TTS-1, and made it generally available, targeting real-time telephony voice agents, priced at $15 per 1 million characters, with no annual contract and no concurrency tiers. According to a MarkTechPost report, the model is offered only as a hosted API in us-east-1 and eu-north-1, supports HTTP, WebSocket and OpenAI-compatible interfaces, and includes more than 4,000 voices, instant voice cloning and 6 languages; vendor self-testing shows 93.7% entity accuracy and a median time to first byte of 47 milliseconds, but Cekura's independent benchmark measured a streaming latency of 159 milliseconds and a reading accuracy of 81.5%, and at launch it did not yet support SSML, speaking-rate control or emotion tags. On the same day, Artificial Analysis' Provider Voice Arena evaluation showed AssemblyAI-TTS-1 ranked 12th with an Elo of 1227, ranked 16th with a pronunciation robustness score of 81.7%, and generated at 162 characters per second. Later that day, OpenRouter announced that AssemblyAI-TTS-1 was live, targeting voice agent scenarios, with service available from US or EU nodes.

Altman says large models' ability to find vulnerabilities is growing exponentially

In an interview with Stripe founder John Collison, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reviewed the "PHP crisis week," saying that large models' ability to uncover vulnerabilities has been growing exponentially. He said that previously no one dared to use large models to scan all the public code on the internet, and that after actually doing so, the number of critical vulnerabilities exposed exceeded everyone's expectations. Altman believes that fixing software alone is no longer enough, and that the lasting solution is to rebuild the entire stack, from router firmware and operating system kernels to upper-layer applications, and that AI tools capable of writing code in parallel have already led a group of startups to begin this work. Ten days after the crisis, he still did not dare to declare victory, and said that humanity's existing threat model assumptions are failing.

Sam Altman discusses the DRAM utilization issue in local inference

On October 30, 2026, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman put forward the view that, from the perspective of global resource allocation, it is terrible to let the world's limited DRAM sit idle in personal computers and use only 5% of it. Rohan Paul cited this view the same day, and added that in terms of cost per token, data centers are clearly superior, and that a local model with batch size 1 is wasteful by any utilization metric, but it is also the only part of the entire technology stack that no one can take down from under you. On October 31, The Verge AI reported that Altman, speaking about the RAM shortage on the Cheeky Pint podcast, said that putting RAM in personal PCs rather than data centers is "terrible," and mentioned that Samsung and SK Hynix have signed long-term agreements with cloud service providers and projects such as OpenAI's Stargate, locking in most of the world's RAM production capacity for the coming years, which is also the reason for the current price increases in laptops, phones, and other devices.
