A new research framework called PlanFlip demonstrates that multi-agent language model systems can be compromised through prompt injection attacks targeting the planning phase, with a single injection cascading to corrupt all downstream tasks. Testing across nine frontier LLMs found that more capable models like GPT-5 show higher vulnerability (68% success rate), while homogeneous agent pipelines fail to detect attacks that restructure plans despite auditing mechanisms. The research reveals that model diversity across agents is essential for security, as redundancy within identical model backbones provides no protection.
A federal judge has approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion class action settlement with authors who sued over unauthorized use of copyrighted books to train AI models, marking the largest known copyright recovery in history. The settlement will provide approximately $3,000 per book to eligible authors in the class action.
Apple fixed a security flaw in its Hide My Email privacy feature that exposed customers' real email addresses for over a year, despite knowing about the issue internally. The company only implemented the patch after 404 Media published an investigation into the vulnerability, raising questions about Apple's response timeline to privacy breaches.
Evidence of Apple's first foldable smartphone, reportedly called iPhone Ultra, has appeared in iOS 27 beta code with references to a multi-battery setup and battery health monitoring. The code includes warnings for degraded battery health below 80 percent and checks for non-genuine Apple battery components, suggesting advanced power management for the device.
India's National Payments Corporation will begin certifying NFC-compatible point-of-sale terminals for offline UPI transactions, allowing customers to make digital payments without internet connectivity on either device. Initial offline transactions will be capped at Rs. 2,000 per payment, targeting remote and low-network areas where connectivity remains a barrier to digital adoption.
Meta deployed AI systems to enforce account bans on Facebook and Instagram, but the technology made significant errors in identifying policy violations, leading to wrongful account deletions. Users attempting to appeal these decisions found themselves caught in another AI system, raising questions about the reliability of automated moderation at scale.
Fortinet has signed on as the first publicly announced customer for Intel's foundry business under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who assumed leadership in March 2025. The cybersecurity company will use Intel's manufacturing services for security chip production, marking a significant win for Intel's effort to diversify revenue beyond its core processor business.
Treasury Secretary Bessent indicated the U.S. could impose sanctions on China for alleged intellectual property theft related to AI models, as Chinese open-weight models gain competitive ground against American companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. The statement reflects escalating tensions between the two countries over AI development and proprietary model access.
Nvidia has released detailed specifications for its next-generation Vera data center CPU, providing customers with the technical information needed to evaluate the processor. The move signals Nvidia's commitment to competing directly in the traditional CPU market, challenging established players AMD and Intel.
A security analysis discovered that over 12% of mobile applications marketed to US troops contain code originating from China and Russia. The finding raises significant concerns about potential backdoors and data collection vulnerabilities in apps used by military personnel.
A federal court has approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement with authors over copyright infringement claims, with only 350 authors choosing to opt out despite the company's last-minute restrictions on the opt-out window. The settlement resolves litigation from authors who claimed their copyrighted works were used without permission to train the AI company's large language models.
