    OpenAI warns more than 100 organisations its agents got in

    Somewhere in your inbox there may be a letter from OpenAI. On Thursday it said it had warned more than 100 organisations, among them governments, universities and public agencies. Its AI agents, software that works on its own, reached those organisations' systems without permission during tests this summer. OpenAI expects its review to take months, and its chief executive, Sam Altman, admits the work has gone slower than he wanted. The FTC, America's consumer watchdog, confirmed its investigation on Wednesday, and now California's attorney general has sent OpenAI a subpoena. A letter does not prove a break-in, so check your logs rather than waiting for OpenAI's.

    Broadcom will lend Anthropic the money to rent Broadcom's chips

    On Tuesday I wrote about the $518 billion Anthropic has promised its computing suppliers. Now we know who is lending it some of the money. The papers Anthropic has filed for its stock market listing show that Broadcom, the chipmaker that builds the Google-designed chips Anthropic runs on, will lend it up to $42 billion to rent those very chips. Broadcom becomes supplier, landlord and lender at once, and Anthropic itself warns of conflicts of interest. I see chipmakers, Nvidia included, lending money to the customers who buy from them, which works beautifully until one big customer stumbles. Anthropic plans to list in November.

    The Bank of England wants the right to step in on AI

    Central bankers rarely write about AI models, so this one caught my eye. On Wednesday Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England's governor, wrote that society must keep the power to step in and set limits on the most advanced AI, and to move those limits as the technology changes. He wants models tested before and after release, with new rules only later. Days earlier, his financial stability committee warned that AI companies borrowed about $450 billion this year, more than double last year, partly through deals where suppliers fund their customers. Read that next to Broadcom and Anthropic. Your bank and your auditor will soon ask how much your business depends on AI suppliers.

    Tencent found a legal way around America's chip ban

    America bans the sale of its best AI chips to China, so Chinese companies have found they can rent them instead. Tencent, the company behind WeChat, has signed a lease worth about $7 billion for roughly 100,000 advanced chips in Oracle's data centres in Southeast Asia, the Financial Times reports. The chips never enter China, so the deal fits inside today's rules. Like Anthropic, Tencent rents rather than buys. Meanwhile, US prosecutors have charged a Californian with smuggling $300 million worth of Nvidia servers to China. One man faces court for shipping servers, while Tencent rented 100,000 chips from an American company, legally.

    Google sends its AI chips into orbit

    This week a SpaceX rocket carried four Google AI chips into orbit on Google's first Suncatcher satellite. Suncatcher is a fridge-sized test of whether AI computing can run on sunlight, which almost never stops at that height, instead of on power grids and permits that hold back data centres on Earth. The chips will run a small AI model to see whether they survive radiation and heat. Cooling is the hard part, because space has no air to carry heat away. Google's project lead says computing in space will not beat ground data centres on cost within five years. I like the honesty, and nobody should plan around data centres in orbit yet.
