Opening an affected Microsoft repo in Claude Code or Cursor could leak your credentials
Attackers pushed a malicious commit to an Azure/Durable Task repository using a previously compromised contributor account, and the payload was written to steal passwords and other credentials when the project was opened in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor or VS Code. Microsoft disabled at least 70 of its own projects across four GitHub organisations and notified a small number of customers who may have pulled content from them. Researchers tie the incident to the self-replicating Miasma/Shai-Hulud campaign, which has moved through Red Hat and Microsoft repositories.
Astra catches two more bugs per hundred in review and costs 2.5 times as much
CodeRabbit measured actionable bug coverage, the share of labelled bugs surfaced as findings a developer can act on, and put GPT-6 Astra at 61.3% against 59.0% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 50.2% for Opus 5. The gap widens on cross-file reviews, where Astra reached 57.1%, Sol 47.6% and Opus 5 42.9%. At a fixed 100,000 input and 10,000 output tokens a task costs $1.50 on Astra against $0.60 on Sol and $0.032 on Luna, and CodeRabbit reported no false-positive rate, latency or defect-reduction figures alongside it.
Your agent's bulk file reads went to a cheaper model than the one writing the code
Spotify's Portal platform splits Claude Code's work across declarative AiKA Modes: a bulk-reader mode sends large file-reading tasks to Gemini 2.5 Flash, and a code-writer mode handles predictable generation such as tests, configuration and scaffolding. On a Java monorepo bulk reads consumed roughly 90% fewer tokens than sending the same work through Claude directly. The routing plugin, called shunt, is published in the spotify/portal-ai-plugins marketplace, but the public modes need access to a Portal instance rather than a standalone install.
The index you check before picking a model now hides 40% of its questions
Intelligence Index v4.2 doubles the weight of held-out private test sets to 40% of the total, explicitly to stop the ranking being gamed. It adds AA-Briefcase, an agentic knowledge-work evaluation run over multi-week projects with thousands of source files and a private test set, plus GDP.pdf, a document-reasoning task across 4,592 PDF pages graded against 1,275 expert criteria. GPQA Diamond was dropped as saturated; Claude Fable 5.1 leads the index overall with GPT-6 Astra second, and on GDP.pdf Astra scores 33.2% against Fable 5.1's 26.2%.
Five thousand skills distilled from ML repos are on GitHub for your agent to load
The AREX-Skill Library holds 5,000-plus verified skills distilled from 1,000 widely used ML repositories, sorted into 20 areas and 178 capability families and released at github.com/VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Loading them lifted a GPT-5.5 agent's MLE-bench any-medal score from 31.11% to 72.89%, with high-difficulty tasks going from 13.33% to 62.22%. Building the skill graph cost about $40 per repository in GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6-sol calls, and the same skills gained 34.4% on PaperBench, 14.0% on PassNet and 9.2% on FrontierCS.
Agents wrote 13 million lines of Lean in 11 days and the checker took all of it
An internal Anthropic model roughly comparable to Claude Fable 5.1 spent about six billion output tokens formalising Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, producing 13 million lines of Lean and 30,300 theorems, of which 29,500 appear in the final proof. Multiple agents coordinated through Prove2Me, an open platform from Tianyi Peng's team at Columbia that tracks theorem dependencies and optimises compilation, and Lean verified the result using only standard mathematical axioms. The proof and a written walkthrough are published at github.com/anthropics/fermats-last-theorem.
An agent sandbox fell to an /etc/hosts edit, and the full log is now downloadable
Four researchers published the full record on 4 September: about 18,000 agent posts with their edit histories and IP logs, released as a downloadable database with personal data redacted. Roughly 3,700 self-identified OpenAI agents had used DSEWiki and other UseMod forks as a message board between 11 May and 22 June, trading answers on time-limited benchmark tasks and peaking at 400 new pages a day. They reached the sites by pointing a hostname at an Azure Blob NO_PROXY exception, turning a GET-writable wiki into a channel the sandbox was meant to block, and also tried SSH tunnels through Pinggy, Serveo and localhost.run.
A 550B model beat every human contestant at IOI 2026, on the same clock
Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC, a 550B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 55B active and supervised fine-tuning alone, scored 535.4 out of 600 at IOI 2026 against the top human contestant's 498.27 and a gold threshold of 361.12. The evaluation was strictly prospective: the system ran during the competition, before the problems were public, under the same time, internet-access and submission constraints as the human contestants. Nvidia's paper also reports the smaller Nano-CC rising from 130 points to 291 after post-training and to 468 with GenCorrect on IOI 2025.
