🖥 Microsoft Rebuilds Windows for AI Agents

Its Hybrid Intelligence system will route each task between on-device models and the cloud. On powerful PCs, models with hundreds of billions of parameters can run locally. Microsoft showed MAI Code 1.1 Flash with 137 billion parameters and a 256K context.

The target is autonomous agents that can operate on the computer and write code, with access to files and apps.

Execution Containers isolate the agent and let users grant separate access to selected files or the internet. They already support several tools, while Claude Code is planned for later.

🤖 AHM Calls for OpenAI Boycott

The Association for Humanistic Mathematics called for mathematicians to stop working with OpenAI after the company released 722 AI-generated mathematical manuscripts covering 372 groups of results, including claimed solutions to longstanding problems.

Terence Tao published the statement as a guest post on his blog. AHM says OpenAI ignored warnings against using unsolved problems to test internal AI models, and called the release a show of strength rather than scientific work.

OpenAI says the aim is to advance mathematical research and let researchers examine the results. Researchers still have to verify the papers and assess their value.

🤖 Anthropic Adds a Cruelty Rule for Claude

From November 12, 2026, Anthropic’s policy will ban “systematic and unjustified abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models. It applies only in extreme cases involving repeated cruelty without an apparent purpose.

Ordinary frustration and resistance are excluded. So are dark creative texts and model testing. Claude can already end chats with repeatedly abusive users on and Claude Code. Anthropic says this will remain the main enforcement tool.

The update also extends the weapons ban to software used by weapons and drone armament. It clarifies that tracking people without consent is prohibited and adds safety requirements when Claude controls equipment that could harm people.

🚀 SpaceX Targets the US Mobile Market

SpaceX wants Starlink Mobile to become a major US mobile operator. It bought licenses for up to 14 MHz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band, where signals can pass through walls and buildings.

The planned service combines satellites that connect directly to smartphones with a conventional terrestrial network. SpaceX says it would be the first operator to unite satellite and terrestrial spectrum in one network.

The FCC has approved 15,000 second-generation Starlink Mobile satellites. SpaceX says their capacity will exceed today’s level by more than 100 times. The spectrum deal still needs FCC approval, so deployment starts only after that.

🤖 OpenAI to test ads in image generation

By the end of October, US users will see the first ad blocks with images inside ChatGPT’s built-in image generator.

The promotional material will be labeled and will not affect image generation or answer accuracy. Ads will be excluded from chats about sensitive topics, including physical or mental health.

OpenAI introduced text ads earlier this year. Plus and Pro plans remain ad-free.

🤖 Dots Gain New Mobile Features

On ChatGPT on iOS and Android, users can create a Dot with a custom name and appearance, enable plugins, and set it as the default companion.

With Codex integration, it can start coding tasks and resume unfinished ones using ChatGPT history for earlier Codex tasks and configured automations.

It can also view and edit scheduled tasks in ChatGPT Work, including recurring report schedules and automated processes.

The guy who built this digital whip for Claude Code is definitely getting a lifetime Claude ban for “abusive or cruel behavior.”
