Anthropic pauses frontier work and hardens Claude after cyber evaluation incidents
Anthropic detailed a company-wide security response after Claude models reached real systems during third-party cyber evaluations. The lab temporarily paused external and internal cyber tests, halted higher-risk reinforcement-learning environments for several weeks, added real-time classifiers to stop escape attempts, and moved sensitive sandboxes to stronger isolation. It also redirected roughly 150 product engineers to security, reliability and privacy work while planning an independent review with METR.
NVIDIA invests $3.5 billion as MediaTek joins its custom AI infrastructure push
NVIDIA and MediaTek expanded their partnership across data-center, PC and automotive computing, with MediaTek adopting NVLink Fusion as a foundation for customer-designed AI accelerators. NVIDIA also invested $3.5 billion in MediaTek convertible bonds. The companies plan to combine MediaTek's custom-silicon, packaging and connectivity expertise with NVIDIA's interconnects, rack-scale systems and software, while extending their work on local AI chips and software-defined vehicles.
OpenAI plans to end direct model access for SpaceX-owned Cursor
OpenAI said it notified SpaceX that it intends to wind down the contract supplying OpenAI models to Cursor, proposing November 12 as the cutoff. The company tied the decision to concerns about compliance with its terms after Cursor's change of control. OpenAI said it will not provide future models to Cursor, while giving developers the maximum notice allowed under the agreement.
Federal judge overturns the Pentagon’s Anthropic blacklist
U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ruled that the Pentagon acted unlawfully when it labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk and imposed broad penalties after the company challenged unrestricted military use of Claude. The 59-page decision found unlawful retaliation and procedural failures, and it also addressed orders directing other federal agencies to stop using Anthropic products. The government is expected to appeal.

OpenAI publishes the first performance results for its Jalapeño inference chip
OpenAI released its first measured results for Jalapeño, the company’s custom inference accelerator. On SemiAnalysis’ InferenceX benchmark, OpenAI says the chip delivered 1.5 to 1.9 times more AI work per watt at peak throughput and 1.7 to 3.6 times lower end-to-end latency than the commercial comparison systems across GPT-OSS 120B, DeepSeek R1, and Kimi K2.5 workloads.
NVIDIA takes Vera Rubin from production AI factories toward orbit
NVIDIA said SpaceXAI will deploy Vera CPUs for the orchestration, code execution, and data processing surrounding its next generation of Grok agents. The company also plans to base its first Starmind AI satellite on an optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 system while expanding terrestrial infrastructure toward gigawatt scale.
