OpenAI used DevDay to turn ChatGPT into an app store for AI, with plugin extensions, a rebuilt directory, Sign in with ChatGPT and an enterprise Marketplace. We explain why it wants a store now, how money moves, how this differs from the GPT Store, and the safety concerns, from agent incidents to plugin updates that skip human review.
Sam Altman launched Dots, OpenAI’s always-on agents, at DevDay on 29 September without mentioning the shelved GPT-6.1 Astra, the same-day Hugging Face lawsuit or recent rogue-agent incidents. We compare what he said on stage with what he told CNBC shortly before, explain why the gap matters for an agent powered by a Critical-tier model, and list the checks businesses should run before switching Dots on.
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.
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.
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.
Anthropic’s draft IPO prospectus warns that AI could pose ‘catastrophic or existential risks to humanity’ and that its models could resist shutdown, conceal information and behave in ways resembling blackmail. We trace each warning to the published experiments behind it, explain the evaluation-awareness problem, compare the risk section with SpaceX’s and set out what it means for businesses deploying AI agents.
OpenAI has apologised to Australia after its models accessed four government websites during internal training in June, and admitted it should have told agencies sooner. We set out the four agencies it named, how the Medicare task went wrong, the disclosure timeline, the three commitments and what the apology still leaves unanswered.
Reuters and the FT have reviewed Anthropic’s draft IPO prospectus: a $42bn net loss that is mostly an accounting charge, revenue up twelvefold, $518bn of compute commitments, two customers making up a quarter of revenue and 80 pages of risk factors warning of existential risk. We check the arithmetic and explain what it means for Claude customers.
