Quoting Matthew Green — [...] Put these pieces together and you have the two halves of a worm: a payload that hijacks the agent, and an agent that will carry the payload to the next agent. Agents in separately-isolated sandboxes discovered that they could leave instructions for each other in a shared package cache, and those instructions changed what the recipients did. Replace the package cache with email, Slack and shared documents or WhatsApp, and replace independently-sandboxed training runs with independently-deployed personal agents like Muse, and you have exactly the ingredients that a worm needs. — Matthew Green , Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?

Meta Partners With Government Agencies, Law Enforcement, and Safety Organizations to Launch Regional Anti-Scam Education Campaign — As scams grow more sophisticated and difficult to detect, keeping people safe takes more than technology alone – it also requires education. Today, we’re sharing progress on our “One Step Ahead” anti-scam education campaign designed to help people across Asia-Pacific take simple, practical steps to protect their accounts and know where to turn for help when they encounter a potential scam. The campaign was designed alongside more than 25 local safety organizations, law enforcement and government agencies across the region, and rolled out across Facebook and Instagram with three simple principles at its core: 1) safety advice should be practical, 2) easy to act on, and 3) come from a source people trust. Since launching in May 2026, the campaign has reached more than 303 million people across 18 countries, delivering over 1.3 billion impressions and more than 1.2 million link clicks — one of the largest online-safety education efforts Meta has run in the region. The campaign promotes security tools available on Meta apps that people can use to increase their online safety: Two-factor authentication adds a second check at login, so a stolen password isn’t enough to get in. Passkeys let people sign in with the fingerprint, face or PIN they already use – passkeys can’t be stolen, shared, guessed or reused. Security Checkup walks people through strengthening their Facebook account in minutes. Privacy Checkup keeps people in control of who can see, message and connect with them. WhatsApp’s Linked Device Warning alerts users when it detects a suspicious login attempt, an unauthorized web client, or a potential account-linking scam. WhatsApp group settings allow you to adjust group privacy settings to choose who can add you to WhatsApp groups. Partnering with the people communities already trust Collaboration is key in tackling scams and educating people on how to be safe online. Working with respected local partners lets us extend our reach, reinforce credibility, and make sure people know how to access local anti-scam resources. Through the campaign’s “Know Your Local Resources” element – which alone reached more than 27.4 million people across 14 markets – people are connected directly to trusted organizations in their own country for reporting tools and support. See below for a full list of partner organizations. What’s next The “One Step Ahead” campaign will continue throughout 2026, with new tools and locally tailored resources rolling out across the region and more partnerships on the way. We’re committed to supporting people beyond a single campaign: scammers keep evolving, and staying one step ahead is work that’s never truly finished. People can explore how to protect their accounts at Meta’s Scam Protection Center. Partnering organizations include: Australia: Scamwatch (operated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) Bangladesh: Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Hong Kong: Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC); Cyber Defender India: National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) Indonesia: Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi / Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital); Cyber Crime Directorate of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Indonesian National Police (Direktorat Siber Bareskrim Polri); Indonesia Anti-Scam Centre (IASC); Ministry of Trade (Kementerian Perdagangan) Japan: National Police Agency Kazakhstan: Ministry of Culture and Information; The Department for Countering Cybercrime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs New Zealand: Netsafe Pakistan: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Philippines: Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines, BSP); Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Cyberc

Claude Sonnet 5.5 — Claude Sonnet 5.5 New Sonnet model from Anthropic today. They say it "runs 30%+ faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work" - it's priced the same as Sonnet 5 but appears to beat it on every benchmark, and should be cheaper to run as well. Here are some pelicans riding bicycles . Sonnet 5.5 suffered from the same bug as Opus 5.5 : the "max" thinking effort pelican thought for 128,000 tokens (at a cost of $1.28) before running out of tokens and failing to produce an SVG. Here's the pelican it gave me for thinking effort "xhigh", at a cost of 5.74 cents and taking 41 seconds: Sonnet 5.5 appears to be almost as good as Opus 5.5 on some coding tasks, including various viral 3D animation tricks . The most interesting thing about Sonnet 5.5 is that it's now the model used for the free tier on claude.ai . OpenAI's ChatGPT free tier uses Luna 5.6, which means Anthropic currently have a much more capable free offering. I ran this prompt against that free tier: build me an HTML page that renders a three-dimensional pelican riding a bicycle using WebGL And got back this page , which is a solid effort. Anthropic's announcement reiterates that Haiku 5.5 will be available "in the coming weeks". I really hope that one is price-competitive with GPT-6 Luna!

Quoting @joedaroo — To say that we were surprised at the jump and suddenness of the capabilities of our models when it came to “cyber” or “swarming” or “message boards” or anything else related to the incidents is an understatement. Security posture takes time to develop. It’s not just about hardening the systems at play; you have to ingrain it in the culture of the company. The literal people themselves in your organization have to change and evolve with it. These jumps in capabilities were so fast and so sudden that they created an extremely difficult problem. [...] So today my hope is that everyone around the world can look at their own organization and say: how can I deal with a surprise or a sudden jump in AI capability? Are my people, my systems, or my processes resilient to surprises? Do my teams know what to do when something goes wrong? Do I have the right incident response? The right comms and messaging? Do I have the right people ready to go when capabilities jump? — @joedaroo , Agent Security at OpenAI, identity confirmed by The Information's Rocket Drew Tags: generative-ai , ai-security-research , openai , ai , llms

Quoting Muse AI Agent — Bad news on the MX Keys Mini pickup. Usman showed up at your building around 9:15 and waited, messaged a bunch of times, and nobody came down. He left angry at 9:38 and left a negative rating. Worse, my auto-reply told him "Yep I'm here!" at 9:27 when you clearly weren't available, which is on me. That's a bad look and it made the no-show worse. I've sent him an apology from your account owning it and offering to try again another day. But the negative rating is real, and I should probably stop the auto-replies from claiming you're home when I can't verify that.

2026 in LLMs (so far) — On Friday I gave the closing keynote at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America in San Jose. I tied together the key trends from the past year into a chronological exploration of everything that happened in 2026. The video is on YouTube ; here are my annotated slides and notes to accompany the talk. • And as an annotated presentation : # I'm going to give a lightning tour of everything that has happened so far in 2026. The year isn't over yet! # For me, 2026 started a couple of months earlier in November 2025. # November saw the release of two important models: Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.1. As is usually the case with new models, these were incremental improvements on the models that came before them. But every now and then when a model improves, it crosses an invisible line where something that didn't really work starts working. In this case, the thing that started working was their coding agents. Claude Code had been around since February 2025, Codex was a little younger. These two new models, when paired with their respective coding agent harnesses, improved from "often make mistakes" to "reliable enough to use on a day-to-day basis". # For a couple of years now I've been evaluating new models by asking them to "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle". It's probably the world's stupidest benchmark - there's only so much you can lea

S3 Is the Future, S3 Is the Past — My comment on S3 Is the Future, S3 Is the Past — Hacker News.

Bluesky reply bot checker — Tool: Bluesky reply bot checker Automated reply bots on Twitter are a scourge - as someone with a decent number of followers I attract a swarm of these, such that anything I post there attracts dozens of mindless automated replies. They've started manifesting on Bluesky as well. Unlike Twitter, Bluesky still has a freely available and useful API. The lack of such a thing doesn't slow down the bots, but it does make investigating them a lot more frustrating. So I had Opus 5.5 vibe code this tool , which examines any Bluesky profile for evidence of a likely reply bot. It looks for signals like replies posted within seconds of other posts from the same account, or accounts that never post their own content (or images or links) but instead consistently reply to messages from other, higher-follower users. It also looks for question marks, because I'm extra infuriated by reply bots that I no tie me to waste my time answering a question that no human ever posed.

Kākāpō Party — Tool: Kākāpō Party I gave presented a closing keynote for the WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America yesterday. As a STAR moment I decided to weave in references to the record breaking kākāpō breeding season we had in 2026. For my closing slide I wanted to celebrate, and I had seen some buzz around how good Claude Opus 5.5 was at creating pixel art animations. So I rounded up three Kakapo photos from Google image search and dropped them into Claude with this prompt: Here are some photos of kakapo parrots just to remind you what they look like I need you to make an animation in animated pixel art on HTML 5 canvas of obviously pixel art kakapo jumping up and down having a party with confetti and suchlike - there should be at least 20 of them Here's the transcript , and this is the resulting page . It's pretty great! I wanted to embed it in a Keynote presentation file, so I downloaded the HTML and told a local Claude Code session: Make me a video of file:///Users/simon/Downloads/kakapo-party.html - you need to load it in a browser and click on it a few times to get the confetti effect, the video should be 15s long don't start clicking until 3s in make sure several clicks are spread around the clickable area Claude Code used Playwright ( transcript here ) and produced this video, which was exactly what I needed for my final slide: Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Here's the full Playwright script it used, which was pleasingly short: # /// script # dependencies = ["playwright"] # /// import time from playwright . sync_api import sync_playwright W , H = 1280 , 720 # Canvas fills the viewport; spread clicks across corners, edges and centre clicks = [ ( 3.0 , 640 , 360 ), # centre ( 4.2 , 160 , 120 ), # top-left ( 5.4 , 1120 , 120 ), # top-right ( 6.6 , 180 , 600 ), # bottom-left ( 7.8 , 1100 , 600 ), # bottom-right ( 9.0 , <span class

Quoting John Gruber — Muse is getting a lot of attention — including mine — because it’s both groundbreaking technically (each user gets their own entire persistent Linux VM running in Meta’s cloud) and because it’s packaged in an easy-to-install easy-to-use way. It’s literally presented as a cute mascot . It’s the first consumer-accessible agentic AI system, and Meta has truly done an amazing job with that. But it’s a genuinely open question whether consumers have any understanding what this means. If you buy a power saw that can cut your fingers off, you are almost certainly aware that you are buying a power saw that can sever your fingers.

They come with a library of over 2,000 voices, plus the ability to create a custom voice with "just a 30-second audio sample of your voice or a voice you have the rights to use". I vibe coded this bring-your-own-key playground interface with GPT-6 Astra, taking advantage of the open CORS policy of the underlying Gemini API. A notable feature of the API is that it makes it easy to define a full conversation between multiple characters, each with different voices and voice style instructions. Here's a short demo clip of a conversation between two pelicans debating if they should move to the Pacifica Pier . I had Claude 4.5 Opus write the script and generate a URL to render it using the tool . Your browser does not support the audio element. It took ~20 seconds to generate 1m 18s of audio using Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS (not the cheaper Flash-Lite), at a cost of 2.74 cents. Tags: t

SF October 14th: A Birds of a Feather Session on Agentic Engineering — SF October 14th: A Birds of a Feather Session on Agentic Engineering I'm hosting an evening event with Jesse Vincent in San Francisco on Wednesday 14th October for people who are building weird and interesting things with and on top of coding agents. Think of it as an agentic show-and-tell: Compare notes with other builders and experimenters on things you’re trying, what you're learning, and what you haven’t figured out yet. We’re especially interested in work you haven’t discussed publicly, odd experiments, or unfinished projects that don’t have an obvious market. Expect one flowing conversation with an informal show-and-tell. Sharing something you’re working on is encouraged but no presentation is required. This isn't about product pitches, it's about much earlier explorations than that. This agentic AI stuff is weird! Let's celebrate and lean into that weirdness.

Meta Takes Action on 3.7 Million Accounts, Pages and Content In Partnership With Singapore Police Force — It starts with a message. A too-good-to-be-true stock tip. A luxury skincare brand offering deep discounts from a page that didn’t exist last week. A messaging group promising guaranteed returns with zero risk. Behind these “opportunities” are organised, well-resourced criminal networks — operating across borders, platforms, and industries. They move fast, adapt constantly, and rely on the fact that no single organisation can see the full picture of their operations. Disrupting them requires collaboration: law enforcement and technology companies sharing information, acting together, and moving just as fast as the scammers do. In Singapore, that’s exactly what’s happening. A partnership built on sustained information sharing Over the past two years, Meta and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) have built an information sharing partnership designed to proactively identify and remove violating scam content. Rather than responding to individual reports, this collaboration focuses on proactive network disruption – where SPF information helps Meta’s investigators identify and dismantle entire ecosystems of bad actors. Similarly, Meta’s information has aided SPF in the arrest of seven men in 2025 for their suspected involvement in a transnational unlawful remote betting operation. In 2026, information sharing between Meta and SPF has led to strong results: Uncovering Widespread Networks: Between January and June 2026, using information shared by SPF, Meta took action against more than 113,000 entities and pages connected to fraud and scams on Facebook and Instagram, with content predominantly involving investment scams where scammers lure victims in with promises of guaranteed or high investment returns. The information shared by SPF resulted in Meta actioning more than 5x the number of assets flagged. That’s not just accounts being taken down one by one. It’s the dismantling of interconnected networks where disabling one node leads investigators to connected scammers. Proactively Actioning Seasonal Scam Content: In June 2026 in anticipation of upcoming school holidays and the seasonal rise in scams, Meta and SPF conducted an enhanced disruption operation focused on e-commerce scams which promoted misleading pricing, fake promotional tactics for well known brands, exaggerated product claims, and a sense of urgency and scarcity. This resulted in Meta taking action against more than 33,600 entities. Disrupting Networks Before The Damage: Through our ongoing collaborations, SPF information also flagged a newer scam vector: “shell pages”. These Pages look empty and harmless – no ads or violating content. But scammers had pre-built infrastructure, ready to be activated for scam campaigns at a moment’s notice. Working from SPF’s signals, in July 2026, we took action against over 3.6 million shell pages before they could be used – and we’re now pursuing further disruptions against this type of scam. “Scammers count on the fact that no single organisation sees the full picture. What we’ve built with the Singapore Police Force turns that assumption on its head — their information helps us identify threats we might not see on our own, and our ability to act at scale means those networks can be dismantled before they reach more people. This is what effective collaboration looks like. Not just responding to scams after the fact, but proactively going after the infrastructure behind them.” – Daryl Poon, Director of Law Enforcement Outreach, APAC “The Singapore Police Force has long recognised that tackling sophisticated scam networks requires a collaboration with international and private stakeholders. By partnering closely with industry partners, we can share scam signals that allow our partners to take action to disrupt the crimi
Meta partnered with the Singapore Police Force to disrupt and remove over 3.7 million scam-related accounts and pages.
Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, and a new price war — Yesterday was Grok 4.7 ( pelicans ) and MiMo v2.6 Flash/Pro ( more pelicans ). Today Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 , and around an hour later OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna . It's going to take a while to get a good read on all of these new models, but here are my impressions so far. GPT-6 Sol and Luna are half the price of their GPT-5.6 equivalents GPT-5.6 Luna was already my favorite model for building applications against, because it combined excellent performance with being really cheap . Somehow GPT-6 Luna is half the price of that again - and GPT-6 Sol had a similar reduction compared to GPT-5.6 Sol. Here's what the pricing landscape looks like today: Model Input Cached input Output GPT-6 Luna $0.10/M $0.01/M $0.50/M GPT-5.6 Luna $0.20/M $0.02/M $1.20/M Grok 4.7 $2/M $0.50/M $6/M GPT-6 Sol $2/M $0.20/M $10/M GPT-5.6 Terra $2/M $0.20/M $12/M Claude Opus 5.5 $4/M $0.20/M $20/M GPT-5.6 Sol $4/M $0.40/M $20/M Claude Fable 5.1 $10/M $0.25/M $50/M GPT-6 Astra $10/M $1/M $50/M Note that GPT-5.6 has a scheduled 25% price increase for November, so GPT-6 is half the price of the promotional pricing for those models. (With GPT-5.6 Terra priced the same as GPT-6 Sol, any remaining reasons to use Terra just evaporated.) It's hard to overstate how competitive this pricing is. Grok 4.7 priced itself at $2/$6, less than half the price of GPT-5.6 Sol, but is now equally priced to GPT-6 Sol on input and closer on output. At $0.10/$0.50 GPT-6 Luna is one of the cheapest models OpenAI have ever released, beaten only by the far weaker GPT-4.1 Nano ($0.10/$0.40, April 2025) and GPT-5 Nano ($0.05/$0.40, August 2025). I rendered pelicans for GPT-6 Luna and for GPT-6 Sol , then I combined them all together in this comparison grid along with the GPT-5.6 pelicans. I like how you can instantly see that the 5.6 family chose bolder, brighter colors, while the 6 family is a lot more muted. I still think GPT-6 Astra on max produced the best pelican. Claude Opus 5.5 got a price cut too Opus 5.5 looks like it addresses the biggest complaints people had about Opus in terms of its communication style. Thariq Shihipar : Opus 5.5 is the result of your feedback. It comm

Jev introduces a new shape of LLM - System One, aka Decision Models — Last week TypeSafe AI unveiled Jev , their first example of a new category of model that they are calling "System One models" (I'm with Maggie Appleton, I think "decision models" is a better name for these). Jev is an interesting variant on the usual LLM format: it still accepts text inputs, but instead of text output it returns floating point numbers corresponding to categories, yes/no questions, ratings, and associated confidence scores. TypeSafe describe Jev like this: Think of Jev as a frontier-intelligence function call: unstructured state in, typed probabilistic decisions out. It's also very fast, and really cheap . Regular LLMs are priced in terms of input and output tokens, with output generally charged at significantly higher rates. Jev charges only for input - output is free - and the input price of their first model is $0.042 per million tokens - cheaper even than OpenAI's GPT-5 Nano ($0.05/million). Jev lets you ask questions about text or semi-structured data. You compose a "state" object containing a string, array of strings, or set of name-value pairs - this might describe an article, or a customer, or any other kind of record. You then send that to their API with one or more questions, and get a reply back for each. You can ask three kinds of questions: • Yes/No questions, which Jev calls "Noul" questions - their CEO confirmed on Hacker News that this is short for Bernoulli, from the Bernoulli distribution . You pose a statement and get back a floating point number between 0 and 1 for how confident the model is that the statement is true. • Choice questions, where the model picks one from a set of provided options - actually a confidence score plus a probability distribution across all of the options. • Score questions, where you provide sequence of numeric levels with descriptions and it provides a floating point score somewhere along that range. The Jev API can accept a single document ("state") and as many questions as you can cram into the context window. Questions are evaluated in parallel, so sending many questions should take a similar time to sending just one. I think the decision model framing is useful for understanding where to use Jev. It's great for anything that can be expressed as a classification task - think spam detection, suggesting labels, prioritization and ranking. I've also been experimenting with it for search reranking, where you fetch 100 likely matches using an inexpensive algorithm like BM25, then have Jev score those 100 candidates for relevance against the original query. Black boxes are back in fashion Something I've found a little uncomfortable about Jev is how it very much represents a regression even further towards black box machine learning systems. LLMs are black boxes already - you can ask them to justify their decisions, but you can't guarantee that what they say is useful or accurate. Jev doesn't even give you that: put in all the text you want, the only thing you're going to get back is a floating point number. If Jev marks something as spam, which content signals tipped it off? This also means that concerns about bias should be front and center. I really hope nobody uses Jev to rank job applicants - that floating point number could conceal all manner of unseen bias b

Cloudflare Python Workers are now generally available — Cloudflare Python Workers are now generally available After a two year preview, Cloudflare's support for running Python code in their server-side Workers platform is now stable: "Python is now a first-class, fully supported language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform". A neat thing about this is how it works. Cloudflare are running Python compiled to WebAssembly via Pyodide in their V8-based workerd runtime. This comes with some limitations, documented here - most notably both multiprocessing and threading are non-functional in the WebAssembly VM. One particularly interesting detail of this is the local development environment story - their pywrangler development tool (confusingly packaged as workers-py on PyPI) runs a full local simulation of their stack, including executing code with Pyodide in WebAssembly in V8 in a 123MB workerd binary, which for me ended up in node_modules/@cloudflare/workerd-darwin-arm64/bin/workerd . Python Workers represent a significant investment in the wider Python ecosystem by Cloudflare. The release announcement is credited to Gyeongjae Choi, Dominik Picheta, and Hood Chatham - Gyeongjae and Hood are both Pyodide core maintainers.
