'Welcome to the AGI era': OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra
The rumors were true, all of them (and then some): OpenAI today is releasing GPT-6 Astra, a new frontier model that the company says likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence (AGI), its long sought goal of highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work. In a closed a press briefing earlier today, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman offered an unusually direct formulation of that message, ending the session with: “Welcome to the AGI era.”That is an unusually consequential framing even by the standards of frontier AI launches. But for enterprises, the more immediate significance of Astra may be considerably more concrete: OpenAI is positioning GPT-6 Astra as a new era of computing in which users, including employees, no longer have to click around a mouse or type on a keyboard ever again (if they don t want). Instead of requiring developers to build a dedicated API integration for every application an AI system needs to u

China-linked hackers backdoored executives' laptops via USB, exploiting a fix companies had but weren't using
A Chinese state-linked hacking group compromised executive laptops at an agricultural industry conference on Hainan Island this spring — not through phishing or a network breach, but by breaking into hotel rooms and booting the machines from a USB stick while the executives were at dinner. CrowdStrike, which tracks the group as OVERCAST PANDA, disclosed the campaign in its 2026 Threat Hunting Report and detailed the operation s timeline in an interview with VentureBeat at Fal.Con 2026: an intruder entered one room at around 8 p.m. local time and a second room by 9:57 p.m., writing a backdoor called FlowCloud directly to each laptop s storage before rebooting the machines and leaving. There was no network intrusion, no phishing email, and no credential stolen through a login page.The report dates the intrusions to between March and May 2026, and the timestamps come from Adam Meyers, CrowdStrike s senior vice president of counter adversary operations, who cleared them for publication in
Microsoft opens up Xbox Cloud Gaming with new pay-as-you-go option
Microsoft says it will let anyone access Xbox Cloud Gaming in November, without the need to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass. The change to a pay-as-you-go model is part of some sweeping changes to Xbox Cloud Gaming today, and is designed for people who don't use cloud access enough to warrant a monthly subscription. "Players will be able to purchase cloud playtime hours through the Xbox Store and stream eligible games they own on supported devices," says the Xbox team. "This will provide another option for people who want occasional access to cloud gaming or do not want a recurring Game Pass subscription." This pay-as-you-go model comes alongs … Read the full story at The Verge.
Microsoft slashes Xbox Cloud Gaming to just 15 hours a month for Ultimate subscribers
Microsoft is announcing some major changes to Xbox Cloud Gaming today, less than a year after opening up cloud gaming to its Xbox Game Pass Premium and Essential tiers. While all Game Pass plans have included unlimited cloud gaming over the past year, from November this will be limited to just 15 hours on Ultimate, 10 hours for Premium subscribers, and a measly 5 hours for Game Pass Essential. "We recognize that introducing limits is a meaningful change, particularly for players who regularly spend more time gaming through the cloud," says the Xbox team in a blog post announcing the changes. "We expect this upcoming change to impact four pe … Read the full story at The Verge.
