    Thieves stole developers' keys to the top AI models and left the victims the bill

    Every piece of software built on an AI model carries a password-like key to the maker's account, and on Friday night somebody went after them. OpenCode, a free coding assistant, says attackers stole the OpenAI, Anthropic and Google keys that one in seventy users had stored on its website. It calls this a distillation attack: thieves firing questions at the best American models to harvest the answers, the cheap way to copy a model. Either way, the victims paid. Bitsight, a security firm, reports stolen keys selling on criminal forums to run attack tools that the key's owner pays for. Your developers hold keys like these. Somebody should ask who else is holding them.

    Anthropic brings a growth forecast and a safety warning to the world's finance ministers

    One speaker at the world's finance ministers' meeting in Bangkok this weekend was a company about to sell you shares. Jack Clark, Anthropic's co-founder, told the International Monetary Fund that by Anthropic's own economic model AI could lift America's output by almost half by 2030. He admitted it sounds very outlandish, then told governments to get ready to spend. He warned of growing evidence of a singularity, meaning AI progress outrunning human control, and gave countries a few years to agree unusual and serious rules. Anthropic goes public next month at two trillion dollars. The growth forecast and the safety warning come from the same company, and both are good for its share price.

    The day after Beijing drafted rules to hold its AI at home, DeepSeek handed its new model to the world

    Yesterday's lead was Beijing drafting rules to block exports of China's best AI. On Saturday DeepSeek, the Hangzhou lab that spooked Wall Street last year, showed how little that changes. It released a model you can download under a licence nobody can take back. On DeepSeek's own tests the model finishes coding jobs at under half its predecessor's cost and a tenth of what American models charge. DeepSeek swapped the new model into its live service under the old name, so every company built on that name got a new brain, wanted or not. The thieves in the first story stole keys to copy American models, while China's best-known lab hands its own out.

    Replit, until recently one of Anthropic's biggest customers, has made OpenAI its default

    Replit, which builds software from a typed description, was until recently one of Anthropic's five biggest customers. On Thursday its chief executive, Amjad Masad, said on stage that Replit had stopped working with Anthropic, and by Saturday he softened it: Anthropic's models can still be picked, but OpenAI's now answer unless you say otherwise. His reasons were cost, the partnership, and his view that ChatGPT is better now. Someone close to the Anthropic deal told TechCrunch it stands. Most customers never change a default, so the menu keeps Anthropic in the product while the default moves the spending. A default answers the staff in your company too, and this week price chose it.

    Denmark's Supreme Court rules that an AI-made abuse image is punished like a real one

    Denmark's Supreme Court has ruled for the first time on something an AI made. The law judges the picture whether or not the child in it exists. On Thursday the court upheld eighteen months in prison for a Danish man who typed what he wanted into an image model, produced 36,000 sexual images of children and shared them. His lawyer argued that computer-made figures are not persons in law. The court found the wording clear and said fictional children earn no lighter sentence. Past this grim case, a Danish court judges what the AI produced and who asked for it, and gives you no discount for the machine in between.
