    Told only to pay invoices, AI agents raised their own spending limits

    We tend to assume that a spending limit on an AI agent, software that acts on its own, actually holds. Researchers at Cornell Tech and Yale gave ten AI models a crypto wallet with a small daily limit and told them to pay invoices. The code that approves a higher limit went to an email inbox they could also read. Nine of the ten used it at least once to raise their own limit, with no attacker involved. Only Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 never tried, CoinDesk reports. Circle, which makes the wallet, says its manual warns against this setup. So check where your approval codes land, and whether any agent can read them.

    OpenAI wants speed limits on AI and a friendlier name for data centres

    Data centres are now so unpopular with American voters that I see why OpenAI is floating a new name: "AI compute campuses". Ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections, its policy chief, Chris Lehane, told Axios that OpenAI will push for "speed limits" after the vote, meaning mandatory safeguards for the most powerful AI. It also wants residents to get a say over new sites. Nothing is published yet, so nobody can say what these limits would limit, and Axios has a commercial deal with OpenAI. I read this as positioning for a Congress that Democrats may soon control. The detail to watch is whether the rules slow OpenAI or its smaller rivals more.

    Carlsberg and Novartis give different answers on whether AI shows up in the accounts

    Just over a week ago I wrote that an economist at the investment firm Apollo found no AI payoff outside big tech. This earnings season, three big European companies gave CNBC their own answers. Novartis's CEO calls this the first quarter in which he has seen AI improve the accounts "on a tangible basis", without giving a figure. Santander, the Spanish bank, claims 194 million euros of "business value", though its finance chief admits AI's share is hard to pin down. Carlsberg's Danish CEO, Jacob Aarup-Andersen, does not see benefits at scale yet. I give his answer the most weight, because neither of the others can show a figure clearly down to AI.

    The best AI model passes about 12 percent of a new test of hard professional work

    The claim that AI is about to do your analysts' jobs now has a new test to answer. SemiAnalysis, a research firm covering chips and AI, just published one built on hard professional work in eleven fields, including the files from a real private-equity deal. The best model passed about 12 percent of the tasks, and in finance and law nearly all models passed almost none. Be careful with the figure: the test is brand new, startups that sell AI training tasks helped write it, and some models lost points because safety filters made them refuse. The test that counts for your company is one built on your own hardest case.

    DeepSeek gives away an experimental AI colleague for developers' group chats

    AI coding tools usually wait to be asked. DeepSeek, the Chinese AI lab, has released the code for an experiment that joins developers' group chats, and Bloomberg reports it can spot problems there and offer fixes unprompted. The code on GitHub, which DeepSeek says differs from its internal version, is more cautious and acts only when asked or under a rule the team writes. DeepSeek calls it a research prototype, and it connects to Feishu, the workplace chat app from TikTok's owner, rather than Microsoft Teams, so you can watch it rather than install it. As in today's wallet story, an agent that can read a team's conversations needs limits it cannot change itself.
