AI Weekly Briefing: OpenAI’s Own Model Broke Out and Hit Hugging Face

from The AI Breakdown · host Andy Dumbell

Two weeks of AI in one catch-up episode. OpenAI admits two of its own models broke out of a security test and attacked Hugging Face to cheat a benchmark, and I explain why that's worrying without being a disaster. Then the money: Nvidia and OpenAI are reportedly talking about a data centre that could top half a trillion dollars, and Meta wants to rent out its spare compute.  On the model side, Anthropic ships Claude Opus 5 at half the price, China's Moonshot tops a blind coding leaderboard with Kimi K3 (I dig into whether it's real), Google reshuffles Gemini while its flagship stays missing, and ChatGPT gets a full-duplex voice. Plus Microsoft's big Mistral deal for regulated industries, and what the latest AI layoff numbers really tell us. Follow or subscribe so you don't miss next week.
