OpenAI Mass Ban Reversed, Team Membership Exploit Sparks Free Claim Frenzy
OpenAI officially confirmed that a system error caused some user accounts to be incorrectly banned. They are restoring access and handling related subscription and credit issues. Multiple bloggers confirmed receiving unban emails. Meanwhile, a vulnerability in OpenAI Team membership was discovered, allowing free claims, which quickly spread on social media. According to discussions, the exploit stemmed from a leaked shared Team account; SSO has been revoked, and the account holder may face a $1.8 million bill from OpenAI. Bloggers remind banned users to check their email, as accounts may have been restored.

Claude Mythos 5 Model Codename Appears in API, Cowork Usage Doubled
Developers discovered the new Claude Mythos 5 model slug via Dev Mode. Anthropic plans to release it as a new model series independent of Haiku/Sonnet/Opus. One blogger commented, “Next week will be a bloodbath.” Additionally, Claude officially announced that Cowork mode usage will double next month, allowing users to delegate larger, more complex tasks to Claude. However, user feedback on Cowork’s practicality is mixed, with one blogger bluntly calling it “quite useless.”

SpaceX Launches Intensively and Signs Google Compute Deal
SpaceX completed two Falcon 9 Starlink launches within 19 hours. According to SpaceX’s S-1 filing, Google signed an agreement to pay $920 million per month from October 2026 to June 2029 for compute power (approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, etc.), following Anthropic’s $1.25 billion monthly payment. The combined contracts total roughly $26 billion in annual revenue. Additionally, Starlink connected 14 schools in Bolivia, providing high-speed internet to over 1,000 people, and donated 150 devices to the Africa CDC during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Codex Rolls Out Multiple UX Improvements, Cursor Launches Design Mode
OpenAI Codex has introduced several quality-of-life improvements: support for code change review (select previous AI changes and add comments as context), settings search (displayed by group), retention of more work state after restart (unread indicators, drafts, zoom levels, etc.), and profile cards with themes and custom pets. Meanwhile, Cursor launched Design Mode, allowing users to mark and modify UI in the browser via click, draw, or voice. One blogger deeply reflected on Vibe Coding, suggesting that the programmer role will shift to Tech Lead (task decomposition, architecture selection, code review), recommending using the strongest models, designing carefully before coding, and not doing too much at once.

Anthropic Former Researchers Found Mirendil, Valued at $1 Billion to Advance AI Self-Development
Former Anthropic researchers Behnam Neyshabur and Harsh Mehta founded Mirendil, positioning it as a frontier lab dedicated to enabling self-accelerating AI R&D in drug discovery, chemistry, biology, and robotics in a safe manner. Behnam co-led Anthropic’s Discovery team, while Harsh initiated and led the automated pre-training R&D project at Anthropic over a year ago (now taken over by Karpathy). According to The Information, Mirendil is in talks for a $175 million funding round at a $1 billion valuation, co-led by a16z and Kleiner Perkins. One blogger commented, “AI self-evolution used to sound like sci-fi, but now it increasingly looks like a production process overhaul for large model companies.”
