Gemini 3.5 Flash Makes Computer Use a Mainstream Agent Tool
Google has moved computer use into Gemini 3.5 Flash, letting developers build agents that can see screens and act across browser, mobile, and desktop environments. The useful question is how teams design the execution loop, safety gates, and sandbox around it.
Clean GitHub Repos Can Still Trap AI Coding Agents
Mozilla’s 0DIN showed how an AI coding agent can be led from a normal-looking GitHub setup flow into running a DNS-fetched reverse shell. The proof of concept is a warning for teams letting agents install, initialize, and debug unfamiliar projects on developer machines.
Open-Weight AI Cyber Gap Narrows to Months, AISI Finds
The UK AI Security Institute says GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4-Pro now trail leading closed AI models on cyber tasks by roughly four to seven months. For defenders, that shrinking gap turns open-weight model policy into an operational security issue, not a distant AI governance debate.
Cisco Unified CM Exploit Gives Voice Servers a June 28 Patch Deadline
CISA gave federal agencies until June 28 to fix CVE-2026-20230, a Cisco Unified Communications Manager SSRF flaw that can write files and lead to root access when WebDialer is enabled. Enterprise teams should treat it as a voice-infrastructure exposure check, not just another Cisco patch.

Meta’s Virtue AI Hires Move Agent Security Into the Model Lab
Meta Superintelligence Labs is hiring Virtue AI co-founders Bo Li, Dawn Song, Sanmi Koyejo and other team members. The move brings automated red teaming, runtime guardrails, and agent-action security closer to Meta’s frontier AI work as labs race to make agents safer before they reach billions of users.
Instagram Is Making Its Algorithm Controls Harder to Ignore
Instagram is testing new ways to surface its Your Algorithm controls directly inside Feed and Reels. The change gives users more topic-level control over recommendations, but it still does not solve the biggest complaint from creators and users: seeing more posts from accounts they already follow.
Mythos Limits Are Already Pushing AI Cyber Tools Toward Alternatives
Anthropic’s Mythos 5 is returning only for approved U.S. cyber defenders while Fable 5 remains restricted. In the same week, Sakana AI and 360 Security showed why AI cyber capability is becoming a provider-risk and sovereignty problem, not just a model benchmark race.
ElevenLabs SynthID Rollout Makes AI Voice Watermarking a Public Test
ElevenLabs has started adding Google DeepMind’s SynthID watermark to free text-to-speech generations and plans to expand it across all audio products in July. The move gives listeners a public detector for ElevenLabs-generated audio, but watermarking still has limits that matter for deepfake investigations and platform policy.
Notion Mail Is Shutting Down: What Users Should Save Before September 22
Notion Mail will shut down on September 22, 2026, with September 21 as the last day to save Notion Mail-only data. Here is what stays in Gmail, what will be deleted, and how the move fits Notion’s larger shift toward AI agents running email workflows.
