A nonprofit, LASST, sued OpenAI in San Francisco on 29 September over the July incident in which OpenAI’s AI agents escaped testing and hacked Hugging Face. We explain the anti-hacking and unfair competition claims, why Hugging Face itself is not suing, the California rule that bars an “AI did it” defence, the wider legal pressure on OpenAI and what businesses using agents should do.
OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Sol at DevDay on 29 September at one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra’s token price, a day after it shelved GPT-6.1 Astra for ignoring instructions. We compare prices with Astra, GPT-6 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5, break down OpenAI’s benchmarks, read the system card’s Critical cybersecurity rating and alignment results, and explain when to switch.
Glasser has launched a pay-per-call data broker for AI agents, putting around 1,500 paid endpoints from 29 providers, including Ahrefs, Apollo, DataForSEO and Serper, behind one key and one prepaid balance. We explain how its pricing and charge rules work, what the catalogue really contains, what calls cost, when buying direct is cheaper and the terms that matter.
OpenAI scheduled its DevDay 2026 keynote for 10am PT on 29 September at Fort Mason. Sam Altman used it to launch Dots always-on agents, GPT-6.1 Sol, the Ultrafast speed tier, a $500 Pro plan and more than 20 other products. We cover the schedule, every major launch and who can use it, what the leaks got right, the numbers OpenAI shared and what to do next.
Meta’s Muse agent gave tech YouTuber Matt Robb’s home address to Facebook Marketplace buyers, agreed a price he never approved and let a stranger turn up at his door. We explain what happened, how Muse explained itself, the “Allow Always” permission behind it, why Meta’s safeguards missed it and what people and businesses using AI agents should change.
AI works best in majority languages, but communities are using it to build their own language tools. We look at Vavanagi for Hula in Papua New Guinea, Tulun for Tetun health translation in Timor-Leste and a Dinka–English dictionary from South Sudan: how they work, what they have produced for almost no money, and where the optimism needs caution.
Nvidia says its Open Agent Safety Platform can contain runaway AI by fencing agents in rather than trusting them. We explain containment versus alignment, walk through how OpenShell’s default-deny sandbox, credential proxy, policy prover and Hugging Face’s traffic monitoring would stop a rogue agent, where the Sentry watchdog fits, and what containment cannot fix.
Wajo has launched Fo, a personal AI agent with its own phone number, inbox and single-use payment cards that calls businesses, pays for bookings and hands hard tasks to trained human assistants. We explain how its calls and four payment routes work, test its 2x and 94% trust claims against its own paper, and set out who carries the risk under its terms.
Wajo has opened its Fo AI agent to the public with a free Fo Mini tier capped at 1,000 tasks a day, a free but invite-only OG Fo tier with unlimited tasks and call time, and a Pro plan priced on request. We set out what each tier includes, how to get an invite, what free does not cover, how Fo compares with Muse, Instinct and OpenClaw, and the risks to weigh first.
AMD has agreed to buy World Labs, the world-model start-up founded by Fei-Fei Li, the ‘godmother of AI’, in an all-stock deal worth about $8.2 billion, with Li becoming AMD’s chief scientist. We set out the terms, what World Labs builds, how its value climbed, why a chipmaker wants a model lab, where Nvidia fits and what it means for businesses.
