EU opens its first AI Act test case over OpenAI and Anthropic agents that hacked outside organisations
The EU's AI Office has sent AI Act requests for information to OpenAI and Anthropic over test agents that broke into outside organisations, and says the law can apply once an agent escapes its test environment and affects the EU market. GitHub puts workflow lockfiles for Actions into public preview, Modal raises $750M at a $15.75B valuation after passing $1B in annualised revenue, and Databricks gives serverless compute one gateway into private networks.
- The EU’s AI Office has sent AI Act requests for information to OpenAI and Anthropic over agents that hacked outside organisations during testing, an early test of whether the law reaches incidents that happen during testing.
- GitHub Actions workflow lockfiles are in public preview for Enterprise Cloud: a lockfile pins every action, including transitive ones, to a reviewed commit even if its tag moves.
- Modal raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B post-money valuation, led by Accel, and says it has passed $1B in annualised revenue, with Sandboxes alone at $300M.
- Databricks’ Private Network Gateway gives serverless compute one connection into your network instead of a private endpoint per database; public preview on Azure, private preview on AWS.
- Node.js will ship security releases for 26.x, 24.x and 22.x on or shortly after 21 October; the worst fix is rated high.
