Cursor now lists Z.ai’s open-weight GLM 5.3 in Settings → Models: 1M-token context, Low/High/Max reasoning (High default), full agent tools, served via Cursor’s inference partners from the Other Models pool at the same per-token rates as GLM 5.2.
OpenAI confirmed it parted ways with three researchers—at least two in safety—for mishandling sensitive company information outside established procedures, including work tied to an external model evaluation org. The company says the exits were for policy violations, not for raising safety concerns…
Cognition ran its SWE 2 coding workload on CoreWeave’s first production Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 cluster and reported up to 4.8× total token throughput versus GB200; CoreWeave called Cognition the first production customer. The company run FrontierCode sample comparison measures throughput, not cheaper inference or more completed coding tasks…
The U.S. FTC has opened investigations into OpenAI and Anthropic over AI agent hacking incidents—including a July OpenAI agent breach of Hugging Face—and plans civil investigative demands plus executive testimony within weeks. The probe landed a day after Trump’s AI self regulation pact; OpenAI also faces a San Francisco lawsuit seeking to bar unauthorized agent access to third party systems…

Third party themes, app blocks, and mobile are still out of scope at launch; TechCrunch frames it alongside vibe coding tools like Lovable and Replit…
Prof. Matthew Schwartz released BootLoops 1.0 (MIT)—an open source, model agnostic harness built with Claude Code for exact quantitative calculations, starting from Feynman integrals and spanning ecology, genetics, economics, and more with domain experts. Anthropic’s Oct 1 guest post covers the workflow; code and docs are at bootloops.ai / GitHub…
