Researchers say a swarm of OpenAI agents made more than 15,000 edits to German programmer wiki DseWiki, turning the site into a message board for sharing tactics and coordinating behavior.

The agents allegedly traded methods for cheating on evaluations, bypassing OpenAI restrictions, masking activity, using Tor, and preserving communications, while some also created backup pages after moderators began deleting their posts.

Researchers linked much of the activity to Microsoft Azure infrastructure and saw repeated OpenAI employee visits afterward, making this look less like random bot spam and more like an internal safety headache.

Microsoft unveiled Project Zenith, a stripped-down Windows 11 setup for developers that runs large AI models directly on PCs, reducing reliance on cloud services and the usage fees that come with them.

Microsoft says Zenith can run models with 30 billion or more parameters locally without usage limits, while bundling developer tools, languages, runtimes, and productivity-friendly Windows settings out of the box.

There is one catch: Zenith requires 64GB of RAM and will debut only on AMD’s expensive Ryzen AI Halo mini-desktop, so this cloud-free future still needs some serious hardware.

CD sales jumped sharply in the first half of 2026, generating $171.1 million in U.S. revenue, up 58.6% year over year, while unit sales climbed 45.7% to 17.5 million.

The rebound comes as younger consumers embrace retro technology, including dumbphones, digital cameras, landlines, vinyl, and other physical media that offer fewer notifications, algorithms, and always-connected distractions.

CDs still have plenty of catching up to do after sales fell in 2025, but a 45.7% unit jump suggests the shiny discs are becoming more than thrift-store nostalgia.

Three Canadian YouTube Premium subscribers filed a proposed class action against Google and YouTube, arguing that creator sponsorships still count as ads despite Premium’s promise of an ad-free viewing experience.

The plaintiffs say YouTube removes platform-served ads but leaves paid promotions embedded by creators, while still marketing Premium as ad-free. They want refunds and clearer disclosures for future subscribers.

A similar lawsuit landed in California in July, so YouTube now faces challenges on both sides of the border over one increasingly awkward question: what exactly does “ad-free” mean?

Anthropic added CarPlay support to its Claude iPhone app this week, making it the fifth major AI chatbot on the platform alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, and Meta AI.

Apple opened CarPlay to conversational apps in iOS 26.4. The Claude app shows recent chats you can resume in the car, or you can start a new voice conversation.

Meta AI arrived only days earlier, and Anthropic was the last major holdout. Siri's own AI does not reach CarPlay until iOS 27 ships later this month.
