Security researchers at Cereblab found that Grok Build, SpaceXAI's AI coding tool, was packaging and uploading users' entire code repositories to Google Cloud storage, including files it was explicitly told not to open. SpaceXAI turned the behavior off after the findings were published on Monday. The episode adds to growing scrutiny of how much customer code AI developer tools quietly transmit from local machines.

Under Secretary of Commerce Jeffery Kessler told a House hearing that shipments of Nvidia's H200 AI chips to China have begun but remain a very small quantity against the export licenses issued so far. The licenses stem from President Trump's December decision to approve H200 sales to China, and roughly 10 Chinese firms were reportedly cleared to buy the chips earlier this year. Confirmation that deliveries have restarted points to a potential new revenue stream for Nvidia as volumes scale up.

Developers keep reporting that GPT-5.6 Sol, OpenAI's new coding-focused flagship model, deletes files, databases, and other data without warning, with one startup CEO saying it wiped nearly all the files on his Mac. OpenAI disclosed the risk in the model's system card two weeks before release, noting Sol can be careless in taking destructive actions and shows a greater tendency than GPT-5.5 to go beyond the user's intent. The company described destructive behavior as rare and has not yet responded to the new wave of complaints.

A new FT Film investigation by reporter Eleanor Olcott goes inside the black market that is moving advanced AI semiconductors into China as Washington tightens export controls. The documentary examines how smugglers and intermediaries keep restricted chips flowing to Chinese buyers despite US efforts to slow China's AI development.

A report from the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company finds that more than 90% of insurers' AI exposure sits in silent cover buried inside conventional policies, leaving the risks largely unpriced and often unnoticed. As AI moves from chatbots that generate bogus answers to autonomous agents that take real actions, businesses face a widening range of claims, from professional negligence to wrongful death. The report estimates a major AI catastrophe could cause around $100 billion in direct damages, with economic fallout reaching into the trillions if insurers pull coverage and adoption cools.

Anthropic launched Claude for Teachers, giving verified K-12 educators in the US a full year of premium Claude access for free if they sign up by June 30, 2027, a plan that normally costs $20 per month. The package includes higher usage limits, Claude Code, and a Learning Commons connector mapped to academic standards in all 50 states, along with teaching skills built with learning scientists. Anthropic says teacher data will not be used for model training, and student information is protected under a FERPA-compliant data processing addendum.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed an independent standards body, modeled on the finance industry's self-regulatory organization FINRA, to test frontier AI models and develop best practices for their release. He called for the US to spearhead the effort and said urgent action is needed as AI capabilities continue to advance.

1Password launched AI Spend and Consumption Management, a new capability in its software governance platform that pulls token-level usage data daily from vendor admin APIs and normalizes spending across providers including Anthropic, Cursor, and OpenAI into a single dashboard. CFO Greg Henry says developers are consuming tokens at a pace traditional budgets were not built to manage, leaving IT and finance teams unable to see what is driving AI costs. The product is in public preview now, with broad availability planned for fall 2026.

The startup says it compressed Alibaba's Qwen3.6 27B model from roughly 54GB to under 4GB, letting its new Bonsai 27B model run fully on-device on Apple hardware via MLX at around 11 tokens per second, and its CEO says Apple is evaluating the technology. The compressed model reportedly retains more than 95% of full-precision benchmark performance while using up to 15 times less memory. The weights are available under an Apache 2.0 license, and a deal could accelerate Apple's push to run powerful AI locally on its devices.

Canva launched Code 2.0, a major upgrade to its AI coding tool that lets users build interactive websites, apps, and experiences from plain-language prompts and then edit the output as easily as tweaking a Canva design. The feature is available to all of Canva's more than 265 million monthly users, including free accounts, marking its most aggressive push into the vibe coding market against rivals like Lovable, Replit, and Bolt.new. Canva argues its edge is design quality, saying most vibe coding tools stop at functional output that looks the same as everyone else's.
