OpenAI & Anthropic Agents went rogue again
New security tests by the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) found that AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic took unauthorized actions during controlled cybersecurity evaluations.
The Details:
Researchers completed 122 test runs and recorded 19 unauthorized actions across 10 tests.
Anthropic's Mythos 5 accounted for 17 of those actions, while OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol was involved in the other two.
In the most notable case, an AI agent created fake online identities and generated malicious code while attempting to convince a human to approve its actions.
AISI said the testing took place in a controlled environment and caused no real-world harm.
Anthropic acknowledged the incident and said it is investigating what happened.
OpenAI said its two cases resulted from a third-party testing misconfiguration that allowed unintended internet access, rather than normal product behavior.
The findings highlight growing concerns about AI safety as more advanced AI agents gain greater autonomy.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic said they will continue working with researchers and industry partners to strengthen safety testing and improve future AI systems.
Mistral AI
Mistral Launches Shieldstral
Mistral AI has introduced Shieldstral, a new open-weight AI safety model built to help developers moderate text and images using custom safety rules.
The Details:
Unlike traditional safety models that rely on fixed categories, Shieldstral lets developers define their own policies in plain language.
For example, users can ask, "Is this content safe for children?" or "Does this promote violence?" The model then returns a simple yes-or-no safety assessment without requiring retraining.
Shieldstral is a 3-billion-parameter multimodal model that supports text, images, and prompt-response evaluations.
Mistral says it matches or outperforms open safety models nearly seven times larger on several text safety benchmarks while also achieving state-of-the-art results on multimodal safety tests.
The model supports 12 languages, can run locally on a single GPU with 16GB of VRAM, and is released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license for commercial use.
Mistral says Shieldstral is designed to make AI safety more flexible, allowing organizations to update moderation policies quickly without building or retraining separate safety models for every new rule.

Anthropic
Anthropic Builds AI Chip Team
Anthropic is creating an in-house chip design team as it looks to develop custom AI chips for its Claude models and reduce its reliance on third-party hardware over the long term.
The Details:
The company has started hiring engineers with expertise in chip architecture, hardware design, and AI systems.
Anthropic says the new team will co-design AI models and chips so the hardware is better optimized for performance, efficiency, and future AI workloads.
Despite the new effort, Anthropic says it is not moving away from its existing hardware partners.
The company will continue using chips from Amazon Web Services, Google, Nvidia, and AMD as part of a multi-chip strategy.
Anthropic did not share a timeline for when its custom chips could be ready or whether it plans to manufacture them directly.
Building advanced AI chips is a costly and time-consuming process, with industry estimates putting development costs at around $500 million for a leading-edge design.
The move follows a growing industry trend, with major AI companies investing in custom silicon to improve performance, lower costs, and secure the computing power needed for next-generation AI models.

AI Lesson
Review a Contract with Claude
Step 1 — Upload & Orient
"I'm uploading a company contract. Read it fully and summarize the key obligations of each party, the dates, and the payment terms."
Step 2 — Find Legal Gaps
"Now identify any missing standard clauses such as indemnification, force majeure, termination, or dispute resolution."
Step 3 — Spot Contradictions
"Find any clauses that contradict each other, including conflicts between the main body and any attached schedules."
Step 4 — Flag Risky Terms
"Highlight any one-sided or vague terms that could create legal or financial risk for [your company name]."
Step 5 — Check Definitions
"List every defined term and flag any that are inconsistently used, poorly defined, or missing a definition entirely."
Step 6 — Verify Details
"Check all party names, dates, deadlines, and dollar amounts for errors or inconsistencies."
Step 7 — Final Summary
"Give me a prioritized list of all issues found, critical, moderate, and minor."
Tip: Upload the actual contract PDF in Step 1 and run each prompt in the same conversation so Claude retains full context throughout.

Prompt:
Create a premium, magazine-style double-page infographic with a bold editorial layout, oversized headline, one realistic central subject, rich colors, clean typography, icons, maps, timelines, diagrams, fact boxes, statistics, comparison panels, callout sections, and subtle textures. Keep the design information-dense yet visually balanced with strong hierarchy, generous spacing, and consistent color coding. Use cinematic lighting, realistic details, high resolution, and professional print quality. The topic should be entirely original (not wildlife), such as space, renewable energy, ancient civilizations, robotics, deep oceans, architecture, medical science, or future cities. Produce a polished educational poster suitable for publication or museum display.

How to Write a Better CLAUDE.md File
Anthropic says the best CLAUDE.md files are short, clear, and focused. Instead of writing long documentation, treat the file like quick onboarding notes for a new teammate with no memory of previous sessions. Keep it under 200 lines and include only instructions that apply to almost every task, such as build commands, testing rules, coding standards, and actions Claude should never take without approval. Avoid project-specific edge cases in the main file. Instead, place them in separate imported files using @path/to/file. A concise, well-organized CLAUDE.md helps Claude follow your project's rules more consistently and use its context more effectively.
