OpenAI puts Pro subscriptions on hold due to Astra demand

OpenAI pauses new $200/month Pro subscriptions as unprecedented demand for its Astra model strains infrastructure.

OpenAI product lead Thibault Sottiaux announced on X that sign-ups for the $200-per-month Pro plan are temporarily disabled because Pro usage puts the most strain on the company's systems amid demand for the Astra model. Astra, launched September 3 and pitched as a generational leap in reasoning, coding, and computer use, is rolling out across Pro, Plus, Enterprise, and Business plans. The API, Go, and Plus tiers remain available, and OpenAI did not say how long the Pro pause will last. The company had raised Codex usage limits as recently as last month.

Luciferus Uncensored AI Service Lets Cybercriminals Generate RAT Malware

Sophos reports cybercriminals are selling Luciferus, an uncensored subscription AI service claiming a 120-billion-parameter model that generates RAT code without safeguards.

Sophos Counter Threat Unit observed a user named Optimus_Prime advertising the Luciferus uncensored AI service on August 24, claiming a proprietary 120-billion-parameter model offering unrestricted coding assistance, with tiers priced at $35, $55, and $75. The public website shows different pricing ($22 to $47.14), and Sophos speculates with low confidence the service may be based on Alibaba's Qwen rather than a truly proprietary model. Researchers documented the Junior tier generating a basic Python RAT with network communication and command-execution functionality, though the code was not tested. The service follows the commercialization trend of WormGPT and FraudGPT in cybercriminal ecosystems.

Class action lawsuit accuses Anthropic of overselling Claude subscriptions with deceptive usage multipliers

Class action lawsuit alleges Anthropic's Claude Max plan misrepresents usage multipliers via five-hour and weekly caps.

A class action filed by the same law firm over the summer claims Anthropic's $100 five-times and $200 twenty-times Max plan multipliers apply only within five-hour windows and are capped weekly, delivering less usage than advertised. Anthropic moved to dismiss, saying details were available via hyperlinks during purchase. Plaintiffs argue consumers cannot verify AI service delivery and must rely on honest advertising.

How AI and cybersecurity are reshaping ServiceNow

Analysis argues ServiceNow's $7.75B Armis acquisition and AI-driven consumption pricing are reshaping its ITSM platform amid SaaS market anxiety.

CSO Online examines how AI agents, vibe-coding fears, and a reported 30% share price drop are pressuring ITSM leader ServiceNow, and how the company is pivoting toward consumption-based revenue and cybersecurity. The piece highlights ServiceNow's $7.75 billion cash acquisition of Armis, priced at roughly 23 times the vendor's $340 million annual revenue, as a strategic move to supercharge ITSM workflows with accurate device inventory and orchestration rather than to sell a standalone security product. Experts note this ends Armis's vendor-neutral position, introduces the CISO as a new buyer, and will likely lead to aggressive Armis bundling at contract renewals.

Underwriting Superintelligence: Backing Agents you can Sue — Rune Kvist, AIUC

AIUC raised a $40 million Series A to build AIUC-1, an agent security standard backed by insurance, serving Cursor, Harvey, Lovable, and ElevenLabs.

AIUC, cofounded by former Anthropic product hire Rune Kvist, announced a $40 million Series A led by Ribbit Capital and First Harmonic. The startup builds AIUC-1, an emerging standard for agent security, safety, and reliability, stress-testing agents for jailbreaks, hallucinations, and data leaks. It pairs standards with insurance underwriting through Lloyd's of London and counts Cursor, Harvey, Lovable, and ElevenLabs among its customers. Kvist argues trust and liability, not capability, are becoming the binding constraint on AI adoption.

12 Best Kubernetes Security Tools Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

GBHackers compares 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua, and Cisco Isovalent on features, pricing units, and procurement strategy.

GBHackers publishes a 2026 buying guide comparing 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua Security, SUSE NeuVector, Snyk, Cisco Isovalent, Palo Alto Networks, Fairwinds, Red Hat ACS, and Tigera. It argues CNCF-grade open source (Kubescape, Falco, Trivy, Calico, Cilium/Tetragon) provides free posture, runtime, and network policy coverage that resets price negotiations. Cisco's acquisition of Isovalent places the eBPF data plane under a networking giant, while the paid market focuses on multi-cluster policy, enforcement, and support. The piece emphasizes that pricing units (workload, node, cluster, developer, credits) heavily influence contract costs.

CISA decides weekly vulnerability bulletin isn't necessary anymore

CISA will discontinue its weekly vulnerability bulletin on September 28, pushing users toward KEV, alerts, and CVE data under risk-based prioritization.

CISA announced its weekly vulnerability bulletin will stop on Monday, September 28, as part of a shift from static CVSS severity scores to a modern, risk-based approach detailed in a June Binding Operational Directive. The directive prioritizes federal remediation based on exposure, exploitation evidence, control granted by exploitation, and whether exploitation can be automated. CISA directs bulletin subscribers to rely instead on its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, cybersecurity alerts and advisories, and the CVE catalog, requiring users to enable those subscriptions in GovDelivery or Granicus to avoid missing critical notices.

Have it both ways: stay discoverable in search while disallowing AI training

Cloudflare launches Disallow AI Training setting letting sites block AI training via robots.txt while staying indexed in search; Apple, Google, and Microsoft honor it.

Cloudflare announced a 'Disallow AI Training' setting that publishes a no-training preference in robots.txt so sites can block AI training (including by mixed-use crawlers) without losing search indexing. Apple, Google, and Microsoft meet Cloudflare's new 'Accountable' designation, which requires training/summary opt-out mechanisms, URL-level training visibility, and assurance that opt-outs don't affect search rankings. Cloudflare cites that under 1% of its sites block search bots while 17% block AI training, and its Block settings now apply to mixed-use crawlers as well. Granular controls over how much content appears in AI summaries are planned for early next year.

What must happen for AI’s trillion-dollar gamble to pay off

Hyperscalers need 2.7x productivity gains by 2030 to justify nearly $1.1 trillion in AI data center spending, or risk bankruptcy and capital misallocation.

Wharton finance professor Jessica Wachter estimates hyperscaler AI expenditure will reach nearly $1.1 trillion through 2027 and that a 2.7x productivity increase is needed to break even by 2030. AI revenues of roughly $150-200 billion this year fall far short of about $750 billion in annual spending, with total investment from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle potentially exceeding $5 trillion over four years. Alphabet reported its first free cash flow deficit (about $5.9 billion) since its 2004 IPO due to AI infrastructure costs. Researchers warn that failed demand could make the buildout the largest capital misallocation in history, with depreciating GPU chips risking stranded assets.

Meet Redis LangCache: A Managed Semantic Cache That Cuts LLM API Costs by Up to 90% and Returns Cache Hits Up to 15x Faster

Redis launches LangCache, a managed semantic cache matching LLM prompts by meaning, cutting API costs up to 90% and returning hits up to 15x faster.

Redis LangCache is a fully managed semantic caching service in public preview on Redis Cloud, accessed via a REST API with Python and JavaScript SDKs. It embeds incoming prompts, vector-searches stored entries, and returns a cached response when similarity clears a configured threshold, skipping the LLM call entirely. Redis claims up to 90% cost savings and up to 15x faster cache hits; a demo run showed 0.37 seconds versus 2.232 seconds direct inference (about 6x) with zero LLM tokens. Customer Mangoes.ai reports a 70% hit rate, 70% lower LLM spend, and 4x faster responses on a patient-care voice app.

Sure, Meta’s AI Muse works, but it sure creeps me out

Hands-on review finds Meta's Muse AI agent completes shopping and email tasks but surfaces personal Instagram API data beyond user-visible ad-topic settings.

Meta launched Muse, its first agentic AI productivity assistant, which performs tasks like shopping, email management, trip planning, media generation, and creating webpages or documents via a cloud-based virtual computer. The Verge's hands-on found it successfully deleted thousands of promotional emails and completed an Amazon purchase, but it also revealed detailed personal interests inferred from Instagram and Facebook account API data that is not visible in the apps' ad-topic settings. Meta says Muse only exchanges data needed for third-party integrations and does not share information with advertisers; the reviewer frames privacy unease as the main adoption hurdle.
