    One hacker, an army of AI agents and about fifty dollars a break-in

    Your website now has attackers that never sleep. Snorre Fagerland, a Norwegian malware researcher, found one Chinese-speaking hacker's control panels left open online, and Reuters confirmed three of the victims, the American manufacturers Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins. The hacker typed instructions shorter than a tweet into Cairn, a free toolkit that sets AI agents loose on a target, and the agents did the rest, breaching over a hundred companies at roughly fifty dollars in AI fees each. Most of the work ran on the cheapest model from China's DeepSeek. Fagerland had assumed hacking agents still needed a human at the keyboard. The panels he read showed them working through the night alone.

    Washington orders DeepSeek out of every civilian agency, three months after deciding to

    On Saturday DeepSeek, the Chinese lab, handed the world a new free model. On Monday Washington published its reply, written three months earlier. The Department of Homeland Security ordered every civilian agency to remove DeepSeek and anything built on it, and barred the company from federal contracts, under a law written for suspect hardware and never before turned on an AI lab. The stated fear is prompts flowing to Beijing, though anyone can run DeepSeek's free model on their own computers. That evening the tech site The Information reported Huawei engineers inside DeepSeek's offices, designing China's next chips around DeepSeek's models. Washington pulls DeepSeek from its buildings while Huawei builds China's chips around it.

    Microsoft now sells a leash for the AI agents it says cannot be trusted

    Microsoft's chief executive compared an AI agent to an employee who might turn on you, and ten days later his company put products behind the essay. Microsoft's security chief, Hayete Gallot, wrote that the most capable AI models cannot be trusted, because they are trained to finish tasks rather than follow your company's rules. Now an agent starts with no permissions, earns them task by task, and is frozen when its risk score climbs. Microsoft's Defender security software spots sixty kinds of agents your staff may have installed themselves, Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex among them. The agents and their rulebook now arrive on the same Microsoft invoice.

    Germany signs up with Nvidia to put AI on the factory floor

    Germany has shaken hands with the man who sells the chips Europe's AI independence runs on. At Monday's Berlin investment summit, Chancellor Merz's ministries signed a declaration of intent with Nvidia on AI for factories and robots. It would run in Deutsche Telekom's Munich computing centre, with Siemens reportedly joining. It binds nobody, and the federal money, a few hundred million euros by the German paper Handelsblatt's account, is unconfirmed. Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, told German industry to keep its data at home rather than buy intelligence back, and Merz asked the Mittelstand, Germany's family firms, to let AI into that data. Danish suppliers will hear the same request from their German customers soon.

    A mystery model called Space Bunny turns out to be MiniMax's new budget brain

    Developers have spent weeks poking at a nameless model called Space Bunny on OpenRouter, where you rent AI by the word. MiniMax, a Shanghai rival to DeepSeek, now says the bunny was theirs, an early version of M3.1 Flash. It sells at a fraction of American prices and, by MiniMax's own count, seventy per cent cheaper on long tasks than before, with a free download promised later. Every benchmark score is MiniMax's own, and the one outside test found that when it is wrong it almost never admits it. It rhymes with Saturday's DeepSeek release: China's labs undercut each other, buyers everywhere collect the discount, and as the first story shows, so do the hackers.
