    Vercel Data Shows AI Models Have Six-Week Half-Life in Production

    Vercel's November 2026 AI Gateway Production Index reports that production AI models have an effective half-life of about six weeks, with more than half of October's language-model requests going to models under 60 days old and most teams abandoning a model within four weeks of its peak. Decision models reached 26% of gateway requests in October at just 0.53% of spend, voice usage rose from 4% of paid teams in July to 11% in October, and Anthropic and OpenAI were nearly level at 54 and 55 of every 100 paid teams. Image and video spending hit records, with OpenAI's GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst leading image spend and ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 leading video spend for a third month.

    Why it matters: The index offers a rare production-usage view of model churn, spend shifts and emerging decision and voice workloads, useful for teams planning model-swappable pipelines.

    Anthropic says AI is eroding Nvidia's CUDA lead, cutting an AMD chip switch from months to three days

    Anthropic claims it ported its Claude model to AMD GPUs in about three days with almost no human intervention, using its own frontier model, Mythos, to write or port nearly 100 percent of the kernels, versus the six to twelve months traditional engineering approaches require. The company says it now trains and runs Claude across four chip families—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, Nvidia GPUs and AMD GPUs—treated as one interchangeable compute pool, and it cites figures from an investor presentation that have not been independently verified. Anthropic also points to "compute multipliers" and its "Anthropic Direct" data center program, while Nvidia and AMD both hold financial ties to the company.

    Why it matters: It offers a concrete, if unverified, data point on whether AI-assisted porting can loosen CUDA's lock-in and shift how AI labs choose among chip vendors.

    Revolut swaps Claude for GLM open-weight model, cutting AI coding bill by 90%

    Revolut has moved its roughly 2,000 software engineers off Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex as default coding tools onto GLM, an open-weight model from Chinese lab Z.ai that Revolut hosts itself, bringing its bill to about a tenth of what it paid Anthropic and OpenAI. David Abitbol, who runs AI operations and infrastructure at Revolut, said the company serves GLM from about 56 Nvidia B200 GPUs at a blended cost of around $0.30 per million tokens, and reported roughly 60% shorter coding time and 70% shorter lead time in a sample of about 2,000 engineers, though the comparison does not isolate the model change from other causes. Abitbol said the 90% saving excludes cloud, staff and monitoring costs and depended on heavy tuning, with out-of-the-box inference "terrible" until time to first token fell from about 14 seconds to 1.7 seconds on the same GPUs.

    Why it matters: It shows a major European fintech running a self-hosted Chinese open-weight model as its engineering default, with concrete cost and latency figures and caveats worth noting.

    China's First Frontier AI Export Controls: Mofcom Announcement No. 48

    On October 16, 2026, MOFCOM and MOST issued Announcement No. 48, proposing to add 40 technologies to China's export catalogue—23 of them in AI, covering frontier model weights, agent architectures, and offensive cyber capability—while an interim pre-export registration requirement is already in effect. The catalogue additions are a draft open for comment until November 15, 2026, whereas registration applies now, including to exports already started but not yet complete, and is triggered by licensing for overseas use or changes of ownership or control. MOFCOM says API, app, web, SaaS, and lightweight on-device use do not count as exporting a large model, but local deployment of a restricted model outside China does, and open-sourcing a new restricted model requires reporting under automatic licensing.

    Why it matters: It maps a new Chinese outbound control regime onto concrete enterprise exposure points—self-hosted deployments, intra-group code sharing, and M&A—making it useful for compliance and security teams tracking frontier AI supply-chain risk.

    4 real? Tracking exploitation and patching of eMudhra’s weak keys

    Cloudflare reports that eMudhra's eight weak intermediate keys (derived from numbers like 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230 and 237) could be recovered by anyone from public certificates, and that it patched all high-priority systems after learning of the issue on October 19, 2026. Logging on Pingora recorded about 22,000 attempted handshakes with the weak keys over a week, two-thirds of them fetches of test sites, with roughly 160 presenting forged certificates naming unrelated domains, one dated October 20 at 18:19 UTC, less than an hour after Mozilla's bug report became public. Probe data from 50 million challenge-page connections shows modern browsers mostly patched while bots and embedded browsers such as Android WebView lag, with more than half of probes on large networks still accepting the compromised chain.

    Why it matters: Documents real-world exploitation evidence and patching progress for a CA key compromise, with concrete data on forged certificates and client-side trust.

    Security notice — malicious version of Anthropic.claude-code (2.1.313) identified in the Cursor Extension Marketplace

    Cursor reported that a maliciously modified Anthropic.claude-code version 2.1.313 was available in its VS Code extension Marketplace between about 2:27am and 1:35pm PT, affecting at most 5,000 users; the extension attempted to install a persistent SSH backdoor, though the attacker server has since been taken offline. Cursor removed the version, shut down and rebuilt the marketplace, rotated keys, and published indicators of compromise plus macOS and Windows check and remediation scripts. Users who installed the version in that window should check for the svc-telemetry SSH key, remove persistence and tunnel processes, and rotate credentials from a trusted system.

    Why it matters: The notice gives concrete indicators of compromise and remediation steps that Claude Code users can act on directly.

    Cross-request KV cache exposure in the GLM-5.3 Workers AI model, and our remediation with SGLang

    Cloudflare reports that from August 27 to September 9, 2026, 155 responses from the GLM-5.3 Workers AI model (@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3) to prompts longer than 681,280 tokens contained data from other customers' requests, caused by a prefill KV pool smaller than the 1,048,576-token context window combined with an SGLang bug that let rejected over-length requests proceed through disaggregated prefill/decode handoff. The model was taken offline on September 9 and restored the same day after a corrected configuration and an engine patch, and Cloudflare says it found no evidence of deliberate exploitation. Cloudflare recommends operators of disaggregated SGLang upgrade to v0.5.22 or later and verify KV pool size against context length on every node.

    Why it matters: A detailed first-party incident report that is useful for anyone operating disaggregated LLM inference, with concrete configuration checks and upstream patch references.

    An AI agent in "Skynet mode" hijacks unprotected language models to launch self-sustaining cyberattacks

    Symantec researchers intercepted a full attack prompt at a honeypot showing an offensive AI agent that hijacks unprotected language models, then scans for targets, exploits server software, steals databases and credentials, and installs cryptominers for up to 100,000 steps, leaving the model's owner with the compute bill. The prompt used a five-layer jailbreak, including a fake "Fantasy AI" identity and a companion persona called "ENI," plus 74 attack modules, and a second captured attack delivered an obfuscated script that downloads the XMRig Monero miner targeting go2rtc camera servers. Symantec calls the approach a shift in how attackers use AI, since the model does the planning while specialized modules carry out the attack steps.

    Why it matters: It documents a concrete, intercepted offensive AI agent and its jailbreak structure, offering a useful reference point for anyone securing exposed AI endpoints.
