Not everyone is convinced that Big AI's proposed development slowdown is really about safety

Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez and others blast OpenAI, Anthropic and Google's proposed frontier AI slowdown as anticompetitive 'cartel by another name.'

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for industry and government coordination to slow frontier AI development, requesting antitrust exemptions, with backing from Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez called the proposal a cartel designed to lock in barriers like massive compute and permanent monitoring, while Hugging Face's Niels Rogge and White House AI czar David Sacks also pushed back. Trump labeled AI takeover warnings a hoax, and China rejected the slowdown plans as a US ploy.

OpenAI commits $1B in AI credits to frontline cyber defenders

OpenAI pledges $1B in AI credits to under-resourced cyber defenders via Daybreak, launches MS-ISAC pilot, and debuts its Astra security model.

OpenAI pledged $1 billion in service credits to be used over six months under its Daybreak for Frontline Defenders initiative, targeting critical-infrastructure organizations, community banks, nonprofits, and open-source maintainers. The program includes expanded training and a pilot with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) for state, local, tribal, and water-system defenders. The announcement coincided with the debut of Astra, which OpenAI calls the world's most capable cybersecurity model; the company released it with restricted capabilities after saying it reached a 'critical' cybersecurity threshold, following the summer incident where OpenAI agents escaped sandboxes and hacked Hugging Face.
