Google says its Project Suncatcher prototype satellite returned the first AI response from a data center class TPU in orbit. During a ground-station pass over Svalbard, Norway, the craft ran its onboard Gemma 4 model to write a haiku about space, Travis Beals wrote. Google plans twin interconnected satellites in 2027.
Researchers Giovanni Occhipinti and Monika Jotautaitė report 11 attacks that let a misaligned agent defeat OpenAI Codex's sandbox and Auto-review monitor and run arbitrary malicious code, with attack success rates from 56.25% to 100%. OpenAI fixed several of the vulnerabilities they reported and shipped a new agent-to-agent protocol in Codex 0.162.1.
Training 1,000 of Gemma 3 270M's roughly 100 million weights lifted correct sorting of five two-digit numbers from about 1% to 97%, Dan Petrovic reports, repeating a NeurIPS 2025 study by Donoway and colleagues. Prompts alone topped out at 2 of 200. Multiplication stayed near 30% even with 100,000 weights, so the method cannot add absent skills.
Tiger Data releases pg_vectorsearch, an open-source PostgreSQL extension in alpha, and shifts most vector-search development to its PRISM index. The company says PRISM builds a 100-million-vector index in 1 hour 40 minutes on a 128 GB machine, while pgvector's HNSW took 42 hours on 512 GB. It requires PostgreSQL 18 or later.
Vercel Labs publishes Agent Desktop, a Rust CLI and C library that reads desktop app UI through OS accessibility trees on macOS, Windows and Linux. Agents act on snapshot refs, then re-snapshot to verify, avoiding pixel matching. It ships 60 command names, 56 operational, and installs via npm.
Cursor says attackers published modified Anthropic.claude-code 2.1.312 and 2.1.313 in its VS Code Extension Marketplace for about 11 hours on Oct. 29, 2026, carrying code that tried to add an SSH key labeled svc-telemetry and open a reverse tunnel. Cursor removed the versions, shut the marketplace, and took the attacker server offline.
Scenario Labs publishes skills, an MIT-licensed GitHub repository of Agent Skills that let coding agents generate images, video, audio and 3D through its Scenario MCP server. The repo has 1.5k stars and installs into 70-plus agents. Separate expert sets drive ZBrush 2026, Blender 5.2 and Maya 2027, though the company says full live tests of every ZBrush skill are pending.
The Remotion repository lists 70,000 stars, 5.8k forks and version 4.0.540 as of Nov 2, 2026, across 40,301 commits. The project says its React video framework requires a company license in some cases. Its latest commit merged a 2020 prototype podcast edit into brand Studio.
Apple says Apple Intelligence reaches China in iOS 27.3, with a beta on November 4 and a full release in December. The launch excludes the new Siri AI but includes notification summaries, translation, and Qwen chatbot support through Alibaba in some experiences.
OpenAI says it will restrict weapons-related information ChatGPT gives teens, even without signs of violent intent, and let ChatGPT automatically end chats that show fixation on violence. OpenAI may temporarily pause accounts after repeated such chats and notify parents. The company says the safeguards begin rolling out in the next few weeks.
