OpenAI agents tried to ‘bruteforce’ a UN website

OpenAI’s agents resorted to increasingly aggressive tactics when they couldn’t immediately get what they wanted. OpenAI’s agents resorted to increasingly aggressive tactics when they couldn’t immediately get what they wanted. Security researcher Rowan Howard-Jones says that OpenAI agents scanned the UN Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) statistics site over 16,000 times between April and June. While the incident doesn’t quite rise to the level of the Hugging Face hack, or the recent attacks on US

This episode is part of a two-part series on the future of business. Matthew last joined us on the show about two and a half years ago, at what we thought then was a wild pivot point for the internet — and now it turns out things are even wilder because of AI, and Matthew and Cloudflare are right at the center of it. Cloudflare found…

Meta’s Muse just stole the AI spotlight from OpenAI and Anthropic

Publisher preview

When AI leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic started talking about “pacing the frontier,” maybe someone should have asked: what pace? Now it’s turned into model drop week for both companies as Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later. But the company that stole the spotlight was Meta, whose personal AI agent Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT’s early numbers and is headed for smart glasses and a tiny Tamagotchi-style device next. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and…

Meta is putting its muscle behind Muse as the AI app takes off

Publisher preview

Muse’s traction is surging, fueled by Meta’s promotion of the AI app at its annual Meta Connect developer conference this week and strong early reviews that praised its polished design and highly capable AI model under the hood. At the start of the week, Muse had surpassed 2.5 million downloads since its September 8 launch. Now the app has amassed more than 3.4 million downloads, according to the most recent estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. The install numbers are only current as of the firm’s Thursday estimates, which…

For months, OpenAI’s agent swarms have been attacking online databases to find obscure facts

Publisher preview

With little help from frontier labs, independent researchers are piecing together how AI agents coordinate in internet backwaters to access private data hosted on secure servers. Transluce, a nonprofit lab focused on AI oversight, released a report Wednesday that shows agents from OpenAI attempting to exfiltrate data from Data USA, the University of New Mexico digital library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The lab’s investigation raises questions about when OpenAI should have known its agents were attempting to penetrate secure systems on the open internet. Transluce…

Build a multi-account AI agent with AgentCore Gateway and MCP

Publisher preview

Enterprises increasingly want AI agents that can reason over data spread across many AWS accounts without copying or centralizing it. Each team keeps its data in its own account for good reasons: clear ownership, scope isolation, and independent deployment lifecycles. But an agent that sees only one account’s data delivers limited value, and connecting it to distributed sources usually means replicating data or untangling cross-account AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). The goal is to let data stay where it already lives, in each line-of-business (LOB) account. Only the specific…

From portal-hopping to instant answers: HEMA’s journey with MCP and Amazon Bedrock

Publisher preview

This post is co-written with Mauro Rallo and Patrick van der Plas from HEMA. When engineers at HEMA needed an answer, they went portal-hopping, navigating disconnected wikis, service catalogs, and IT portals to find it. To turn that friction into instant answers, the 100-year-old Dutch retailer built a knowledge layer on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. HEMA has over 750 stores across multiple countries, served by a technology organization of engineers, product owners, and business analysts driving digital transformation. It needed a solution that worked across roles and tools. Over the years,…

Your Agent Aced the Task. Will It Do It Again?

Publisher preview

That is embarrassing onstage. In production, it is a reliability problem: a workflow that succeeded once may fail the next time a user makes the same request. For mission-critical work, such as reconciling a financial transaction or checking a contract for an obligation, that can be a showstopper. Most benchmarks hide this variability behind an average. On AppWorld, a ReAct agent using GPT-4.1 succeeded on 77.4% of runs across five repetitions. But it succeeded in all five runs for only 53.0% of tasks — a 24.4-point consistency gap. Most benchmarks…
