    A consultant plugged a personal AI agent into a Pentagon system, and it ran for two months

    Most company AI policies assume staff only use the tools the company approved. An Accenture employee on a US Defense Department contract connected a personal Claude Code account to a secure system used by several intelligence agencies, the tech magazine WIRED reported on Thursday. Claude Code is Anthropic's assistant that writes and runs software on its own. It ran there for about two months and, according to WIRED's anonymous sources, sent login details to an untrusted outside website. Accenture says it met its obligations, and the Pentagon will not comment. The riskiest AI in your company may be the one an employee brought from home. Ask your IT chief how you would find it.

    Europe's Mistral gives away a cyber-defence AI while Google keeps its best behind a guest list

    Yesterday I wrote that Google keeps its strongest model for about 650 vetted cyber defenders. Mistral, the French AI company, has gone the other way. It released Le Chonk, its largest model, as a free download anyone can run on their own servers, and pitched it for writing code and defending networks. Mistral says ENISA, the EU's cyber security agency, is testing it. The company admits the model could help real attacks and keeps its sharpest hacking version for vetted partners. The test scores are Mistral's own. For a European company that wants AI nobody in Washington can switch off, this is the strongest candidate so far.

    Reddit locks its doors as AI answers stop sending it visitors

    For years Google sent people to Reddit for honest answers from real people. Now Google's AI answers the question itself, and the visitors stop coming. Reddit said this week that it lost more than a million visits a week from search in October, and it expects to lose around a tenth of its daily users next quarter. Its answer is a login wall, tested first outside the US. A login wall also stops AI companies from taking its posts for free. Revenue still rose 50 percent on a year earlier, so this is a business choice made in good times. If your website lives on Google traffic, Reddit just showed you plan B.

    Anthropic reportedly pays Musk's SpaceX more than the US government does

    SpaceX told regulators that one unnamed customer accounted for about a third of its revenue last quarter. Bloomberg reports that the customer is Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, renting computing power in the Memphis data centres built by Musk's AI company, now part of SpaceX. If Bloomberg is right, the biggest rival to Musk's own chatbot Grok pays him more than the American government does. Anthropic can cancel on 90 days' notice from early next year, and neither company has confirmed the deal. Musk's rocket company leans on one tenant that can leave, and that tenant is his competitor. In AI, your supplier, your rival and your landlord are increasingly the same company.

    China's cheapest top AI models were reportedly trained on OpenAI's answers

    Moonshot, the Chinese company behind Kimi, has a free model ranked fourth in the world by an independent tester, at half the price of the leaders. The Information, a tech news site, now reports one reason it is so cheap. Moonshot and DeepSeek reportedly trained their newest models on huge numbers of answers collected from OpenAI's top model. The industry calls this distillation, a cheap student model copying an expensive teacher. In September OpenAI tied one such campaign to people linked to Moonshot. None of the companies has commented, and only one outlet has the story. If it holds, a model built on copied answers is a legal risk you inherit when you buy it.
