OpenAI fights IP theft
🚨 Our Report
OpenAI has reportedly ramped up its security operations in response to escalating threats of corporate espionage.
🔓 Key Points
This comes after OpenAI was forced to overhaul its existing security protocols earlier this year, after Chinese AI start-up, DeepSeek, allegedly managed to copy its GPT models to develop its own rival R1 model.
The increased security includes “information tenting,” policies that limit staff access to sensitive algorithms and new products—eg. Just a few verified team members were permitted to discuss the development of o1.
They’ve also implemented fingerprint scans for staff who need to access critical data and introduced “deny-by-default” internet policies, which require strict approval before any external connections can be made.
🔐 Relevance
While these tighter security controls are primarily designed to stop external, foreign entities from stealing their IP, with the ongoing battle to poach top AI talent, OpenAI might need to consider bolstering its internal security policies to prevent proprietary insights from being leaked to rival companies.
Is OpenAI's security crackdown justified, too much, or too late?

How AI saved 280,000 dev hours and preserved jobs
Morgan Stanley needed to modernize its codebase, but manually updating old code was time-consuming and resource-intensive.
This hindered the firm's ability to innovate and adapt to modern technological standards, so they developed an internal AI coding tool—DevGen.
DevGen translated old code, generated documentation, and implemented updates to align with current programming standards.
The tool has saved over 280,000 developer hours, allowing devs to leverage AI to enhance their roles rather than face redundancy.

Trickle turns ideas into live apps and websites with AI
After references to a “Study” mode were spotted in May, a new “Study Together” feature within ChatGPT has been officially added to the dropdown list of tools for a handful of ChatGPT subscribers/testers.
While the feature doesn’t yet work and, therefore, details are sparse, it’s expected that it will be an educational tool that will ask students questions, rather than simply just delivering answers to questions.
It's also thought that the feature will allow multiple students to join the chat, fostering group learning, and is possibly OpenAI’s attempt to change the narrative around students using AI to cheat.
As part of the battle to steal top AI talent from each other, Meta has poached Apple’s head of AI models—Ruoming Pang—as Zuckerberg continues his hiring frenzy to build his new superintelligence unit.
Pang previously led the team that trained the AI models that power Apple Intelligence and other AI on-device features, and is expected to bring his expertise in designing small, on-device AI models to Meta.
Many expect that Pang’s departure will trigger “a string of exits” and comes after former Apple AI lead, Daniel Gross, quit Illya Sutskever’s Safe Superintelligence start-up last week, to join Meta. It’s hard to keep up!
