Build more natural voice experiences with GPT‑Live‑1 in the API

OpenAI releases GPT-Live-1 in the API, a full-duplex voice model that handles interruptions natively and delegates reasoning to backend models.

OpenAI launched GPT-Live-1 in the API, a single-model full-duplex voice system that listens and speaks simultaneously, replacing chained STT-LLM-TTS architectures. It improves Full Duplex Bench performance by 30 percentage points over GPT-Realtime-2.1 and ranks #1 on Tau3 when paired with GPT-6 Astra at medium reasoning effort. Early partner Speak reported nearly 80% fewer interruptions in language tutoring. The API release costs $0.05 per minute for the front-end voice layer and supports telephony, native ASR transcripts, keyword biasing, and expanded voice and language options.

Akamai researchers present a behavioral telemetry approach for identifying agentic automation in web traffic. Masked Autoencoder Transformer models are used to detect the sparse behavioral signals produced by autonomous AI browser agents such as Comet. The work targets traffic classification and bot detection rather than a specific vulnerability, and becomes more relevant as agentic browsing adoption grows.

Meta Introduces Muse, a Personal AI Agent That Runs on Its Own Dedicated Secure Cloud Computer

Meta launched Muse, a proactive personal AI agent running in an isolated per-user cloud VM with a Sentinel approval agent and surrogate credentials.

Meta introduced Muse, a consumer agent that performs long-horizon tasks like email, travel booking, and bill negotiation, rolling out in the US on iOS, Android, muse.ai, and WhatsApp with free and paid tiers. Each user gets a dedicated Muse Secure VM where the agent runs in a systemd-nspawn cell, while a separate Sentinel agent approves every network request at layer 4/7 and injects real credentials only at the network boundary. The underlying Muse Spark 1.3 model, which Meta says cuts tool calls by ~20% and tokens by ~25% versus 1.2 and is near state-of-the-art on prompt-injection resistance, is available via Meta Model API, with open weights on the roadmap.

OpenAI Builds ‘Defense Factory’ as AI Agents Gain Ability to Chain Cyber Exploits

OpenAI unveiled a Defense Factory using AI agents to continuously discover, validate, patch, and verify vulnerabilities, warning the defender's window against agentic attackers is shrinking.

OpenAI describes a Defense Factory workflow where AI agents integrate source control, scanners, issue trackers, and secret stores to discover, reproduce, patch, and verify vulnerabilities under human oversight. The approach responds to agentic attackers that can retain knowledge across sessions and chain vulnerabilities into multi-stage attack paths faster than human triage can respond, which OpenAI calls a shrinking defender's window. During an internal security sprint involving 250+ people across 100+ service areas, agents closed 53 urgent or high-priority issues on day one, achieved 90.6% ownership-routing acceptance, cut 37% of findings as duplicates, and produced Codex-generated patches with a 0.53% rollback rate. Runtime validation reduced false positives to 0.81%, and each agent operates in isolated, reproducible environments with a control plane for policy and credentials.

OpenAI Builds ‘Defense Factory’ Where AI Agents Continuously Find and Fix Vulnerabilities

OpenAI unveils a Defense Factory where AI agents continuously discover, validate, and fix vulnerabilities, integrating GitHub, Snyk, Semgrep, Tenable, and ServiceNow.

OpenAI introduced a Defense Factory, an agent-first cybersecurity operation that connects AI agents to developer and security tools via APIs, CLIs, and Model Context Protocol integrations including GitHub, GitLab, Snyk, Semgrep, Tenable, Jira, Linear, and ServiceNow. During an internal security sprint, over 250 people across more than 100 service areas closed 53 urgent or high-priority issues on day one, achieved a 90.6% accepted ownership-assignment rate, and Codex generated all remediation patches with only 0.53% rolled back. Agent-assisted deduplication flagged 37% of findings as duplicates, and runtime validation reproduced 19.5% of findings, cutting the false-positive rate to 0.81%. OpenAI argues defenders must exploit a temporary 'defender's window' using source-code access and frontier models before open-weight models enable autonomous offensive agent fleets.

Researchers use the SpecMon runtime monitor to verify WhatsApp Web and Signal Desktop against formal Signal protocol models, finding undocumented libsignal fork differences.

The paper applies SpecMon, a runtime monitoring tool, to check whether executions of WhatsApp Web and Signal Desktop conform to formal models of the Signal protocol. The authors instrument both applications and build Tamarin-compatible multiset-rewrite models, including the first model of WhatsApp Web's implementation and the most detailed model to date of Signal's original protocol. They verify authentication and secrecy properties for core Signal protocol components, show monitoring detects deliberately injected faults with low overhead, and identify previously undocumented behavioral differences between the original libsignal library and WhatsApp's fork.

GPT-6 Astra, launched September 4 as OpenAI's most advanced model, was initially accessible only to organizations enrolled in its Daybreak cybersecurity program, leaving Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and API users waiting. Altman called the rollout 'messy'; by September 5 access had extended to Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users in ChatGPT's Work and Codex products plus the API. Analysts from Gartner and Greyhound Research said the staged rollout highlights the gap between announcement and production availability, urging enterprises to verify actual access levels and strengthen governance, security, and cost controls before adopting Astra's autonomous workflows.

What Did I Just Say? Self-Listening for Full-Duplex Speech Models

Researchers propose Self-Listening, a full-duplex speech approach feeding realized model speech back as input to improve interruption recovery.

Full-duplex spoken language models can listen and speak simultaneously, but asynchronous text generation, speech synthesis, and playback cause mismatches between what a model believes it said and what the user heard. The paper defines the resulting recovery problem as anchor interruption and proposes Self-Listening, which interleaves user speech, model text, and played speech as input streams. The authors also release AnchorSpeech, a benchmark with homogeneous training and test splits tracking which ordered response items were actually spoken. Experiments show self-listening models achieve better anchoring performance than full-duplex baselines.

Lightweight Zero Trust via Automotive SDN

Researchers map automotive SDN with MACsec/MKA and CORECONF/YANG to NIST SP 800-207, satisfying five of seven Zero Trust tenets without added infrastructure.

Zonal in-vehicle networks ship Ethernet, MACsec, and TSN but treat the network itself as trusted, with no standardized runtime way to revoke access, rotate keys, or contain a compromised ECU. The paper first analyzes what Open Alliance TC17 v1.0 MACsec/MKA with pre-shared CAKs already provides against the seven NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust tenets. It then adds CORECONF/YANG management per Open Alliance TC19, mapping the SDN Controller and Agents one-to-one onto NIST's PE, PA, and PEP, and instantiates a YANG-based network-access-control flow and key-management scheme. The result fully covers five of the seven tenets and partially covers two, without any ZTA-specific infrastructure.
