Applied AIUnauthorized group has gained access to Anthropic’s exclusive cyber tool Mythos, report claims
Advanced LLMs are now espionage targets in their own right — Mythos leaking into a private Discord channel shows your model endpoints and eval sandboxes are part of your security perimeter. If you're piloting sensitive models, treat access control, logging, and key rotation as production-grade from day one, not after the "real" launch.
Applied AI5 tips for using Gemini’s new Notebook feature
Gemini Notebook is another proof point that the default UX for AI is shifting from chat to persistent workspaces. If your product still treats AI as a modal assistant, start designing for long-lived documents, state, and collaboration or you'll lose usage to tools that remember context by default.
Applied AIAdobe Expands Agentic AI Ecosystem With Big Tech Partners
Adobe is turning its creative and document surface area into an agent routing layer for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia and Amazon — not trying to win the model war, but to own the workflow.
