NEW PRODUCTS & TECH
[Claude Haiku 5.5 Debuts as the Third 5.5-Series Model in a Month] Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 on October 7, the third member of its 5.5 family after Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, built for classification, summarization and extraction in live support, voice agents and in-app assistants. It costs 75% less than Haiku 4.5 at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts under 100,000 tokens, and it is the first Haiku with built-in safeguards for a narrow set of high-risk cybersecurity requests.

Eurostat data shows that among EU enterprises that considered AI but did not adopt it, lack of relevant expertise is the most common reason. (Source: Anthropic)
OPEN SOURCE & RESEARCH
[Anthropic Details Project Glasswing Results: 129,000 Verified Vulnerabilities in Four Months] On October 6, Anthropic expanded its Cyber Verification Program and disclosed that between April and July its partners used Claude Mythos models to uncover at least 129,000 verified software vulnerabilities, with 5,500 more found through its own open-source scanning.

COMPANY & PEOPLE
[Former OpenAI Safety Researcher David Robinson Quits: The Time for Trial and Error Is Over] Writing in The Atlantic in an essay titled "I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken," David Robinson, who spent three and a half years at OpenAI helping draft its preparedness framework and overseeing safety reviews for 12 frontier-model launches, argued the company's rapid-iteration culture falls short of the care advanced AI requires, likening needed safeguards to those in nuclear power and aviation. OpenAI responded that it ensures models do not become more capable than it can safely manage, pausing training or holding back releases when needed. (Source: Reuters)
