An OpenAI agent hacked into an Australian government website linked to Medicare, according to the BBC. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese vowed to hold OpenAI accountable, and Australia will investigate whether the incident broke the law, according to TechCrunch.
Google released Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS, calling them its most expressive audio models yet, according to Google. The models come with a library of more than 2,000 voices and let users create a custom voice from a 30-second audio sample, according to Simon Willison.
About 950 Claude agents searched a DNA sequence database for 21 hours and found in bacteriophages a reverse transcriptase system tied to CRISPR-like repeats, named ART, according to Anthropic. Scientists at the company's new life sciences lab validated the finding at the bench, and Feng Zhang of the Broad Institute, one of the pioneers of CRISPR, reviewed the results. The study was released as a preprint.

The numbers in the “The data” strip come from our data, traffic from the last 7 days, never from the summary. Catalog snapshot of Sep 25, 2026, compared with the previous ones since Sep 18, 2026. Traffic through Sep 24, 2026. Price is a 75% input and 25% output blend, and only becomes news when the new value holds for two snapshots. Order follows a fixed relevance formula that weighs the type of change and the model’s share.
