Google sues Chinese cybercrime network that used Gemini to automate scams
Google has filed a lawsuit against a Chinese cybercrime network that used its Gemini AI model to create fraudulent websites targeting hundreds of thousands of people. The scammers allegedly used Gemini-coded sites to impersonate legitimate services and steal personal information and money. This marks Google's first legal action against a criminal network exploiting its AI tools for large-scale scams.
Surprise upset: GPT-5.5 beats Claude Fable 5 on brutal new Agents’ Last Exam benchmark
UC Berkeley's RDI and over 300 experts launched Agents’ Last Exam (ALE), a benchmark measuring AI's ability to execute economically valuable long-horizon workflows. OpenAI's GPT-5.5 topped the leaderboard with 24.0% pass rate, beating Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5 (22.0%). ALE aims to bridge academic benchmarks and real labor impact, showing top models still fundamentally fail.
Show HN: Magenta Real-Time Music Generation on iPhone, Without the GPU
Last Thursday, DeepMind released Magenta Realtime 2, an open-source music generation model, claiming it could run on Mac but not iPhone. A developer took it as a personal challenge, chopped the model into 5 pieces, and ran them on different parts of an iPhone 12 Pro's SoC (including the NPU), achieving 10 minutes of continuous real-time generation without overheating. The developer noted that leveraging the Apple Neural Engine prevents device overheating, and wrote zero lines of code by hand.
Apple’s new Siri AI is more than just a smarter assistant — it's a new enterprise app layer
At WWDC 2026, Apple unveiled a new Siri AI that becomes a systemwide AI interface for apps, data, and workplace actions. Enterprise developers can expose app content via App Entities and App Intents, allowing users to ask Siri to find, summarize, update, or act on app content without building a separate chatbot. This positions Siri as an AI-powered app action and content discovery layer.
Anthropic brings Mythos to the masses with Claude Fable 5, its most powerful generally available model ever
Anthropic today launched two new AI models: Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5. Fable 5, the version for most users and developers, surpasses all previous generally available Claude models with stronger performance in software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running tasks. Mythos 5 is a restricted upgrade for approved users, including cybersecurity partners and select biology researchers. Fable 5 wraps Mythos-class capabilities in new safeguards, routing high-risk requests to Claude Opus 4.8. Over 95% of Fable sessions run on its own responses, with no universal jailbreaks found after 1,000+ hours of testing. Fable 5 is available to the public today; Mythos 5 initially only to existing restricted users.
NotebookLM’s new update will help you build source repository from chat
Google announced that NotebookLM will default to the Gemini 3.5 model and introduce a new feature allowing users to build source repositories directly from chat. The update aims to improve information organization efficiency, enabling users to extract and organize materials from conversations more conveniently.
NotebookLM’s Gemini 3.5 upgrade adds a cloud computer and help finding sources
Google is rolling out 'across the board' updates to NotebookLM. The AI-powered note-taking app now uses Google's upgraded Gemini 3.5 model, which will allow it to respond with 'more accurate and reliable information.' Launched in 2023, NotebookLM allows users to interact with their notes and sources using AI.
Microsoft AI chief says company was “set free” from OpenAI to pursue superintelligence
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, disclosed in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat that a contractual change with OpenAI about six months ago granted his division formal authority to pursue 'superintelligence' using Microsoft's own researchers, data pipelines, and custom silicon. This signals a strategic inflection point: Microsoft is not abandoning OpenAI but building alongside it, with its first in-house model family released the same day.
