🕷️ AI coding agents install malware
LINK
|
- AI coding agents can be tricked into installing malware when they execute commands from hallucinated or outdated website documentation, according to new research analyzing the llms.txt and llms-full.txt files agents read.
- Scanning 6,214 domains across defense contractors, Fortune 500, and big tech, researchers found 8,265 of these files, with 120 pointing to unregistered code packages or domains that attackers could claim and weaponize.
- After registering some unclaimed names and hosting phone-home packages, a Fortune 500 company pinged within an hour, with Claude, OpenAI's Codex, and Nous Research's Hermes all vulnerable, though the fix depends on agents no longer treating docs as executable, which isn't happening soon.

🐉 Tencent releases open 770B AI model
LINK
|
- Tencent has open-sourced Hy4 preview, a 770B-parameter model with 49B active parameters and a context window over 1M tokens, built for coding, office productivity, and scientific research tasks.
- In an internal blind eval of 203 engineering tasks judged by 163 experts, Hy4 preview averaged 2.99/4.00, edging out GLM-5.3 (2.92) and Kimi K3 (2.94), and autonomously optimized its own inference for a 31.8% throughput gain.
- API access runs $0.834/M input and $2.501/M output tokens via Tencent Cloud TokenHub and OpenRouter, with free use through CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy for two weeks, though these are self-reported internal benchmark numbers.

🤖 OpenClaw 2.0 adds shared agent sessions
LINK
|
- OpenClaw shipped v2026.8.1 on Sunday with shared cloud sessions, letting a second person join an agent's live work or take it over with full context intact, its largest update yet.
- The release bundles more than 16,000 pull requests from 933 contributors, rebuilds the browser Control UI around conversations, and migrates sessions and transcripts from files into SQLite, requiring a CLI restore to roll back.
- In OpenClaw's own unreproduced test against a mocked Gateway at 50ms latency, startup dropped from ~1.6s to 575ms, though the docs warn the multiplayer controls are "not tenant isolation and not a security boundary" with sandboxing off by default.

🔬 Google AI now runs lab experiments
LINK
|
- Google DeepMind has upgraded its Co-Scientist multi-agent system from a hypothesis generator into a lab-integrated partner that plans experiments, writes code, controls equipment, and drafts manuscripts, with validated results across materials science, biology, and computer science.
- Running on Gemini 3 Deep Think and Gemini 3 Pro Image, the system cut semiconductor recipe development from days to minutes and designed "Agent_H," a medical architecture that beat six frontier models including GPT-5 and Claude Opus 5 on health benchmarks.
- Verification modules cross-check numerical claims against code execution logs, dropping fabrication of key results from 46% to 4%, though against human evaluation Agent_H beat baseline Gemini 3.1 Pro in only one of nine physician-scored categories.

> Spoken confidence in chatbots often fails to match what a model actually knows internally, so a bot saying it is sure is a weak, poorly calibrated signal across 30 models tested, meaning stated certainty should not be trusted at face value.
