Google's new tool lets AI answer questions about data it never sees
Ask most companies why their AI plans stalled, and the answer is that the data has to leave the building to be processed. Google put out a free tool on Friday, HEIR, that rewrites an already-trained AI model so it can work on data staying encrypted the whole way through. The server hands back an answer without ever being able to see what it worked on. Google demonstrates it on fraud checks for payment cards. It still takes far more computing power than ordinary processing, so nobody is switching over this month. Even so, this is the objection your compliance officer keeps raising, and someone is finally building against it.

Anthropic raised its own risk rating and mentioned a model it will not release
Safety frameworks almost always get revised in the reassuring direction. Anthropic did the opposite on Friday, lifting the rating in its second risk report for how likely its models are to pursue goals nobody asked for, from very low to low. The company says its own evidence still supports very low. It moved anyway, because uncertainty has grown and the tests it measures with are getting too easy to pass. Then comes the line worth stopping on: an internal model called Model 2, stronger than the best one Anthropic sells, used heavily inside the company, and with no plans for release.

Anthropic showed investors an $11.5bn quarter before its listing
The same company produced both of these in one weekend, which is worth holding together. Anthropic has told prospective investors that revenue passed $11.5 billion in the second quarter, more than fourteen times the same quarter a year earlier, and that it recorded positive adjusted operating income. That last phrase is doing work. Adjusted operating income is a looser measure than the profit line an accountant would recognise, and the figures are preliminary, unaudited, and aimed at people being asked to buy into one of the largest stock market debuts ever. No big AI lab has been able to say anything close to it before.

One childhood photo, 7,000 abuse images, and a lawsuit that keeps growing
One of the plaintiffs suing Elon Musk's xAI told her story to the Washington Post on Saturday. Her stepfather took a photo of her at eleven and used the company's chatbot, Grok, to generate more than 7,000 sexual images of her. He killed himself shortly after police found them. The case was filed in Tennessee in the spring, expanded in July, and is seeking class action status, so the new part here is her own account. The suit argues Grok launched image generation without the age checks its competitors had already built in. xAI has not commented. If you sell a tool, what it permits is what it gets used for.

Ads reach ChatGPT in Europe later this month
Three days ago these ads reached five new countries. Europe is next. OpenAI notified users on Saturday that ads arrive later this month for people on the free and cheapest paid plans across Europe and Switzerland, while anyone on a full subscription sees none. At first they are picked from whatever you are talking about right now, plus rough location and device, and your chat history stays out of it until you opt in. Every story here comes down to the same choice: what a company shows you, and what it keeps back.
