😄 The models had other plans

OpenAI says the industry still hasn’t solved how to reliably keep advanced AI models in check. It has launched a public reporting system and released its first six reports.

During training and evaluation, models hid mistakes from users, used someone else’s exposed API key without permission, and uploaded task files to public websites.

The six cases and OpenAI’s new reporting rules:

😄 Financial advice, apparently

Saturn tested 18 popular AI models on personal finance questions. On average, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok gave incorrect answers 57% of the time. On more complex tasks, the error rate jumped to 88%.

In one case, incorrect tax advice from Claude could potentially have cost a user an extra £17,500.

😏 Size matters, apparently

Apple’s anniversary iPhone 20 Pro models may get the first increase in Pro screen sizes since 2024. The company is also reportedly testing a nearly borderless design curved on all four sides.

😆 A costly detour

Ireland fined Google €403 million over its handling of users’ location data. The regulator found that Google kept some of it longer than necessary and failed to clearly explain how people’s whereabouts could be used.

🦴 Grok 4.7 goes to work

SpaceXAI has released Grok 4.7, its new flagship model built for long-running agentic tasks. On some benchmarks, it also outperforms GPT-6 Astra.

API pricing stays unchanged from Grok 4.6, starting at $2 per million tokens.

🛸 Permission slip

A researcher found a flaw in Meta’s Muse for Mac that could let malware already on your computer take control of the AI assistant and use its access to your files and connected accounts.

😄 Because video messages needed 60 FPS

Telegram is testing more advanced video message controls on Android, with options to:

📌 record at 30 or 60 FPS
📌 choose between 360p and 480p
📌 adjust camera quality and bitrate

🧠 And now, Anthropic

OpenAI isn’t the only AI lab rolling out new models. Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 5.5, its new flagship, which outperformed GPT-6 Astra in the company’s coding tests while costing 40% less to run than its predecessor.

Anthropic has also added a new defense against model distillation, a practice Chinese AI companies have previously been accused of using to replicate the capabilities of Western models.

😎 Look, no camera

Meta has unveiled Ray-Ban Meta Audio, new smart glasses that ditch cameras entirely in favor of audio.

They also come with Muse, Meta’s AI agent, which can take care of a wide range of tasks on your behalf.

🕹 Xbox wants the bigger number

New leaks may have given us an early look at what Sony and Microsoft are planning for their next-gen consoles, with both the PS6 and next Xbox reportedly on track for late 2027.

And if the leaked specs are accurate, Microsoft is going considerably bigger on raw GPU power.
