Frontier AI’s security bill comes due
from AI & Tech Daily with Jesse Owen Hosted by Jesse Owen
OpenAI slows frontier-model work as an unreleased system approaches a critical cybersecurity threshold, exposing the growing cost of safely containing capable AI. Also: an autonomous security agent finds a Snowflake CI flaw, Google expands its custom-silicon relationship with Marvell, the FDA considers oversight for generative-AI medical devices, OpenAI previews privacy-preserving safety monitoring, Cerebras refreshes its wafer-scale hardware, GitHub explains how retries prolonged a major outage, and developers face an actively exploited Ray vulnerability.
