On October 23, The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI has fired three security researchers. Internal security personnel discovered that they had engaged in disappearing message chats via Signal with external AI security researchers, raising suspicions that sensitive information related to OpenAI's internal model design was involved. This investigation reportedly began following a September article about OpenAI's latest model, Astra. The article mentioned that Astra employs a new design that enhances model capabilities while reducing the observable reasoning processes for humans. OpenAI viewed the related report as a potential leak of internal model design and initiated a probe into the source of the information. The report also highlighted that this controversy touches on the issue of AI model 'monitorability.' Some security researchers are concerned that if future models can perform tasks without leaving complete traces of their reasoning, it may become more challenging for researchers to determine the reasons behind an AI agent's decisions, as they would only be able to observe the outcomes of its actions. OpenAI investigators have also identified Ryan Greenblatt, who assisted METR in analyzing the logs of the July Hugging Face hacking incident, as one of the suspected leakers, a claim Greenblatt denies.

In a recent update from Dongcha Beating AI, Amp has launched a free Hobby tier. Amp, a company spun off from Sourcegraph, offers a Coding Agent product similar to Claude Code and Codex, allowing AI to read, modify code, execute commands, and run tests autonomously. Users can now utilize Amp for free by simply using their own computer and connecting their ChatGPT subscription or model API key, eliminating the need for additional monthly fees and BYOK token charges. Previously, after launching a subscription model in July, users needed to pay at least $20 per month for the Megawatt plan to integrate their ChatGPT subscription with Amp. Even if users had their own model key, Amp charged extra token fees and imposed restrictions. These two layers of fees have now been removed. However, the ChatGPT subscription fee or the model cost itself will still be borne by the user. Amp also offers a product called Orb, which provides a remote cloud computing environment for each task. This allows users to have a dedicated environment with all necessary code and development tools, enabling the Agent to continue working even after the user's computer is turned off and facilitating the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks. Orb continues to charge based on usage; users who prefer not to incur this cost can run Amp directly on their own computers. Additionally, Amp is expanding its BYOK options. Paid users can already connect to OpenRouter, Amazon Bedrock, Azure Foundry, Ollama Cloud, and custom model interfaces, with plans to open this feature to all users in the future.

AMP Foundation (AF) announced the initial launch of the Anvil protocol mainnet and the release of the governance token ANVL. The Anvil protocol aims to be a scalable collateral primitive in the DeFi field, and the ANVL token will oversee all core transactions including protocol upgrades, asset support, and external contract approvals. AF stated that to support the launch of the Anvil mainnet, ANVL tokens will be airdropped for free to addresses that provide AMP collateral on the Capacity platform. The ANVL received through the airdrop will follow a linear release plan for a period of 48 months, with the release starting 12 months after the snapshot date and totaling 60 months.
