Anthropic launches free AI security scanner for open-source projects

Anthropic introduced OSS Scanner, a free service that uses Claude Mythos to scan open-source code for security bugs. The scans run automatically without human review and deliver vulnerability reports to developers. Projects apply by opening a pull request on GitHub and providing a Dockerfile. The tool comes from lessons learned in Anthropic's Project Glasswing, which found over 29,000 candidate bugs.

Anthropic launches program to defend critical infrastructure from AI attacks

Anthropic announced the Anthropic Cyber Mission to help protect critical infrastructure and open-source projects from AI-powered attacks. The effort includes a Critical Infrastructure Defense Program that pairs Anthropic's top models with on-site engineers and partners like Accenture, CrowdStrike, and Deloitte. A second focus is the OSS Scanner service for important open-source projects. Anthropic says attackers currently have the advantage but predicts defenders will gain ground within two years.

Anthropic offers free Mythos security scans to open-source developers

Anthropic created OSS Scanner, an opt-in service that runs periodic AI security scans on eligible open-source projects.

Fidelity National Financial launches AI platform for investors

Fidelity National Financial launched LoanCare's IllumineX platform to embed AI into title, servicing and legal workflows. The company reported profit margins at 5 percent, down from 7.9 percent, after revenue came in 10.7 percent below expectations. More than half of employees already use AI tools. Analysts project revenue of US$16.2 billion and earnings of US$2.1 billion by 2029.

Gilead Sciences reports strong Q2 and extends AI partnership

Gilead Sciences posted Q2 revenue growth of 10.2% year on year and raised full year EPS guidance above analyst estimates. The company extended a five year DevOps and agentic AI partnership with Cognizant to improve efficiency in research, clinical and commercial systems. Analysts project revenue growth of 5.3% yearly over three years, with earnings moving from a loss of US$3.2b to US$11.5b by 2029. The key challenge remains whether HIV prevention and oncology growth can support higher margins amid competition and policy pressure.

Teradata may be undervalued on healthcare AI customer wins

Teradata highlighted healthcare and life sciences clients using its AI platform for disease prediction, patient engagement and regulatory compliance. The stock recently closed at $30.29, below a fair value estimate of $34.88, suggesting it may be about 15% undervalued. Teradata's hybrid cloud platform is positioned to benefit from enterprise demand for data management and AI workloads. Risks include slow cloud migrations and intensifying competition from hyperscalers.

Peter Thiel compares AI regulation to the Antichrist

Billionaire Peter Thiel is delivering a four part lecture series about the Antichrist that frames government attempts to regulate AI as evil. The talks, which cost $100 per ticket, are running in Nashville after earlier stops in San Francisco, Paris and Rome. Thiel has argued that AI regulation is politically popular and used by leaders to gain popularity. His positions are notable because his wealth is heavily invested in AI through Founders Fund and Palantir.

OpenAI revenue growth concerns shake tech stocks

OpenAI's annualized revenue reached about $50 billion by the end of last month, up from roughly $28 billion at the end of June. However, the metric merely doubled in the last quarter, which was lower than investors had expected. The news caused shares of several technology companies exposed to the AI sector to fall. The situation adds to existing concerns about AI revenue growth and safety.

Investors look beyond AI for growth opportunities

Investors are increasingly concerned that markets rely too heavily on AI adoption as a single growth driver. The top 10 S&P 500 stocks now make up 39% of the index, all tied to AI. Global fund managers are seeking value in overlooked areas such as defense, Japanese small caps and European logistics companies. Managers note that non AI stocks are trading at historically wide discounts to the market, suggesting potential for strong returns outside the AI theme.

FitActive brings AI personal training to 500,000 members

FitActive, Italy's largest gym chain, has partnered with Zing Coach to roll out AI-powered personal training across 192 clubs. The technology is built directly into FitActive's existing app, so members do not need a separate application. It provides personalized workout plans, nutrition guidance, and recovery tips that adapt to each member's progress. The rollout supports over 2,000 personal trainers and serves more than 500,000 members. No additional fee for the service has been announced yet.

Logistics companies face AI investment return challenges

AI is changing logistics fast, but most companies struggle to get a real return on their AI investment. Nexcade co-founder Dan Bailey says the biggest problem is converting years of hidden operational knowledge into data that AI can use. He noted that C.H. Robinson's $300 million synergy target from acquiring RXO carries real execution risk because absorbing a new business's operational context is difficult. Bailey recommends a dual strategy with top-down planning and bottom-up small pilots. He also says companies should measure success beyond speed by tracking risk reduction and revenue impact.

TCS shares rise on AI revenue and global growth

Tata Consultancy Services saw its shares rise as much as 6.2% after strong results showing growth in AI revenue and international business. The company's annualized AI revenue jumped nearly 20% quarter-on-quarter to $3.1 billion. Analysts say TCS is navigating the AI shift better than feared, and firms that protect margins during this transition could see valuation upgrades. Morningstar analysts see a clear path to further scale AI revenue at TCS. The stock's gains came during a broader rally in the Nifty IT Index.

T-Mobile uses AI to boost network investment and resilience

T-Mobile US is using AI at scale to guide network investment and improve operations, according to president of technology John Saw. Its Customer-Driven Coverage model analyzes customer behavior to decide where network builds have the biggest impact. During winter storm Fern in January 2026, the self-organizing network made over 30,000 antenna adjustments and extended backup battery time by more than 250,000 minutes. During the recent World Cup, Dynamic CX made over 11,000 automated network adjustments across 12 cities. T-Mobile also plans for 6G, which Saw says will be AI-native by design.
