Lukasz Olejnik says he singled out half a million @Google searches across four countries in August 2026 under the EU's anonymisation scheme.
The EU requires sharing with rivals, including AI chatbot makers.
→ Browser display language was not covered by the anonymity checks
→ In Germany that month, he linked 200,000+ sets beyond the three-search cap
Google paid for the audit. Olejnik says he had full independence.

Microsoft’s FORGE Lab says AI-assisted Linux bug hunting yielded 59 upstream reports, but preparing them took over four person-months.
Two weeks of scanning selected kernel subsystems produced 26,502 raw findings. Reproduction agents narrowed the pool to 621 cases with proof-of-concept evidence for expert review.
→ Eight of the 33 assigned CVEs had working exploits that gained local administrator access in lab tests
→ Linux maintainers have merged fixes for 38 reports
→ The reported bugs averaged 8.1 years old
→ Merged fixes took a median 41 days from first public patch to a mainline release
Some exploits required non-default settings or disabled exploit protections.

AWS just launched a Web Search API on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, letting code search the web with one API call.
Previously, developers had to set up a gateway and search target.
→ Call it through @awscloud SDKs or the CLI with existing AWS credentials
→ Results include ranked text extracts from Amazon's own web index
→ Filter by domain and publication date
Page titles, URLs and publication times are not always available.

Matthew Goldberg says agents wrote 100% of the code in the newly released AWS Emulator for building and testing cloud applications locally.
→ Downloadable binary, with CC0 source and tests on GitHub
→ Tens of thousands of tests compare its behavior with real AWS
→ Thousands of agents write tests, find issues and fix code
No human reviews the code. Automated gates check security and test for regressions.

AWS just added metering so speech AI providers can bill for actual usage during live streams on Amazon SageMaker AI.
Deepgram, a speech AI company, is the launch partner for transcription and speech generation billing on @awscloud Marketplace.
→ A separate WebSocket connection carries usage records
→ Metering is capped at one message per second per connection
SageMaker AI endpoint infrastructure charges still apply.

As @nvidia’s alleged honeypot scandal unfolds, @AlibabaGroup just disclosed an earlier confidential Hong Kong IPO application for T-Head, its data-center chip business.
→ The proposed offering would give T-Head independent access to equity and debt markets, while it is expected to remain an @AlibabaGroup subsidiary
→ Alibaba says Zhenwu AI chips serve over 650 customers. Its SAIL software includes compilers, libraries and multi-chip communication tools
→ The Hong Kong exchange has allowed the spin-off to proceed, but final listing approval is still required
→ Offer size, structure and dilution remain undecided, and Alibaba shareholders have no guaranteed share entitlement
The listing also requires completion of the Chinese regulatory filing and final company decisions.

NVIDIA says Alpamayo 2 Edge drives about 60× farther between at-fault incidents than Qwen-Drive-1.0 in AlpaSim.
The 2B-parameter model turns camera views and navigation inputs into driving trajectories onboard DRIVE AGX Thor. It is available on Hugging Face.
→ @nvidia reports 160–190 ms from camera pixels to a planned trajectory on Thor
→ The model generates reasoning only when needed to save compute
→ Closed-loop reinforcement learning in AlpaGym improves driving performance by 48.9% over the best checkpoint without that training, NVIDIA reports
→ Developer Hub recipes cover quantization and inference acceleration with TensorRT and DFlash2
Latency depends on how much reasoning the model generates.
