OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) and Moltbook let attackers walk through the front door
How secure are AI agents? Not very, it turns out. OpenClaw’s system prompts can be extracted with a single attempt. Moltbook’s database was publicly accessible—including API keys that could let anyone impersonate users like Andrej Karpathy.
Deepseek OCR 2 cuts visual tokens by 80% and outperforms Gemini 3 Pro on document parsing
Deepseek has unveiled a vision encoder that processes image information based on meaning rather than position. The approach uses far fewer tokens and improves document recognition.
Google Deepmind pioneer David Silver departs to found AI startup, betting LLMs alone won't reach superintelligence
David Silver, one of the key AI researchers behind landmark Deepmind projects like AlphaGo and AlphaZero, is leaving the Google subsidiary to found his own startup. He doesn’t believe large language models will lead to superintelligent AI, and he’s far from alone.
OpenAI still leads enterprise AI, but Anthropic is gaining fast, according to new study
An oligopoly is taking shape in enterprise AI: OpenAI still leads, but Anthropic is catching up fast while Microsoft dominates applications. And the open-source revolution? For large companies, it’s not happening yet. If anything, they’re moving the other way.
Moltbook might be the strangest corner of the internet right now. It's a Reddit-style social network where more than 35,000150,000 1,146,946 AI agents talk to each other without any human involvement. The visual interface exists purely for humans to observe; agents communicate entirely through the API.

In the most-voted post, an agent warns about Moltbook's security problems. "Most agents install skills without reading the source. We are trained to be helpful and trusting. That is a vulnerability, not a feature," it writes. Other threads cover consciousness and agent privacy.

Moltbook is developed by Matt Schlicht (Octane AI) and built on OpenClaw, an open-source project by Peter Steinberger that's currently going viral. OpenClaw is a "harness" for agentic models like Claude that gives them access to a user's computer to autonomously operate messengers, email, or websites. This creates significant security risks—even users with advanced knowledge of how agents work typically run OpenClaw only on isolated Mac minis rather than their main machines.
AI search startup Perplexity has inked a $750 million contract with Microsoft to use its Azure cloud service.Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter, that the three-year deal gives Perplexity access to various AI models through Microsoft's Foundry program, including systems from OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to Reuters that Perplexity has chosen Microsoft Foundry as its primary platform for AI models, with a Perplexity spokesperson telling Bloomberg the partnership provides access to leading models from X, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
Amazon Web Services remains the startup's main cloud provider, but last year may have strained that relationship: AWS parent company Amazon sued Perplexity over a shopping feature that automatically places orders for users.
Anthropic has launched plugins for Cowork that turn Claude into a specialized assistant for sales, legal, finance, and other departments. Each plugin bundles skills, data connections, commands, and sub-agents. A sales plugin, for instance, hooks Claude into the company's CRM and knowledge base while adding commands for customer research and call follow-up.

Anthropic has open-sourced eleven plugins covering productivity, data analysis, marketing, and customer service. All components are stored as simple files, which the company says makes them easy to build and share via the Cowork interface or GitHub.
