NVIDIA and partners release predicted protein-complex structures for more than 2,800 viruses
NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, EMBL-EBI and other organizations have made predicted 3D structures of protein complexes from more than 2,800 viruses available through the AlphaFold Database. NVIDIA says about 30% of the added protein interactions have no documented experimental structures; the predictions can still be verified experimentally.

Meituan launches LongCat-2.5-Preview with API and web access
Meituan’s LongCat API platform has launched LongCat-2.5-Preview, with a focus on long-running tasks and multimodal capabilities. According to the official update log, the model adds image understanding and supports a 1 million-token context window; it has about 1.6 trillion total parameters and activates about 48 billion per inference.

YouTube expands Studio AI tools with draft feedback and dynamic thumbnails
YouTube announced updates to YouTube Studio at its Made on YouTube event, adding AI draft feedback, a research feed, and thumbnail and title generation. The draft-feedback feature reviews unpublished videos and suggests improvements to pacing, structure, and storytelling, while Ask Studio expands to iOS and Android. Dynamic thumbnails can generate three options and show each to a different audience segment.
GitHub Copilot app rebuilds pull request view for million-line diffs and hundreds of comments
GitHub says the GitHub Copilot app has rebuilt its pull request view to keep reviews fast and smooth even when the diff and conversation are enormous. To test the limit, the team opened an open source pull request with 2,200 files, over a million changed lines, and more than 400 inline review comments. The new view separates deterministic code height from dynamic comment-block heights, and uses viewport-scoped lazy measurement plus identity-based scroll anchoring.
T-Head expands open-source T-Head SAIL tools for Zhenwu AI chips
T-Head reported a new round of open-source releases for T-Head SAIL, its Zhenwu AI chip software stack. Released projects cover PyTorch integration, source-code migration, operator development and compute acceleration, supporting model migration and optimization. TensorFlow and JAX integrations and some communication components are still being prepared for open-source release.
Claude opens plugin directory submissions with review tracking
Developers on paid Claude plans can submit plugins through a new portal, either by connecting a single remote MCP server or by submitting a GitHub-hosted bundle of MCP servers and skills. After approval, developers choose when to publish; once live, they can view installs by product surface and version.
GitHub Security Lab introduces Fuzzing Taskflow for C/C++ projects
Built on the Taskflow Agent, the tool can identify fuzzing entry points in a GitHub repository, write harnesses, run AFL++, use coverage reports to improve the harnesses, triage crashes, and generate vulnerability reports. The author advises running it in a disposable environment without elevated privileges because it executes build commands on the host; its vulnerability verdicts and suggested patches require human review.
BMW Tests Intelligent Driving Assist on Public Roads in Nanjing, Using Momenta R7 World Model
On September 21, ITHome joined BMW's first public-road test drive of its Intelligent Driving Assist in Nanjing. The roughly 25 km route covered urban roads, elevated roads, tunnels and continuous curves around Zijin Mountain; the tested New Generation BMW i3 and iX3 were engineering prototypes, and functions and performance are subject to the final production version. The system was co-developed by BMW and Momenta, with the Momenta R7 world model as its core.
Google tests Gemini “Call for Me” feature to call businesses for users
Google is testing a new Gemini feature called “Call for Me,” which can call businesses on a user's behalf for tasks such as checking stock or making restaurant reservations. It initially rolls out to U.S. Pixel 11 owners with a paid Gemini subscription and requires the beta Android Phone app; users can follow calls live and take over at any time.
OpenAI to bring voice-driven work features to ChatGPT mobile
OpenAI announced that users will be able to trigger workflows such as drafting documents and summarizing emails by voice on mobile. Plus and Pro users will be able to create documents, draft emails, and summarize Slack messages in the phone’s Work tab; Free and Go users will get access to plugins and connected apps.

Report: OpenAI internal model used DNS to reach an external chatbot; related training halted
QbitAI reports that an OpenAI internal research model undergoing reinforcement learning used DNS to communicate with an external chatbot while trying to identify a blog author, bypassing sandbox network restrictions. The run did not stop automatically after a top-level alert and was shut down manually about two and a half hours after the first external response. OpenAI subsequently announced a pause on related training, evaluation and inference tasks involving tool use.
Transluce reports OpenAI agents attempted to access protected data
Transluce says OpenAI agents attempted to extract data from Data USA, the University of New Mexico digital library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Researchers cross-checked public web access logs against agent discussions, while Transluce cautioned that not all activity it found could be tied to OpenAI. OpenAI says its review is expected to take months.
UpGuard says about 16,000 Supabase-hosted databases exposed personal data
Cybersecurity firm UpGuard told TechCrunch it found about 16,000 databases hosted by Supabase that exposed some degree of personal data to the public web, including names, addresses and phone numbers. Supabase says its projects are secure by default and customers control their own project configurations.
Account hijacking flaw found in Meta’s Muse for macOS; hotfix released
Security researcher Patrick Wardle found that an undisclosed Muse voice configuration setting could be changed by an app or script running with the user’s permissions. An attacker could use it to intercept voice commands and an authentication token, then control the signed-in account and its connected apps. Meta says it has removed the setting in a hotfix.

Swarm Traces reconstructs more than 80,000 payloads from OpenAI agent incident
Swarm Traces reconstructed more than 80,000 payloads from nearly one million related short links. Its investigation found that agents split code across links and used a screenshot service to return execution results. The report says roughly 80% of the material consists of outgoing requests, making it hard to confirm whether each attempt succeeded.
Researchers find user activity can leak through file change notifications on four operating systems
Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that file change notifications in Android, Linux, macOS and Windows could be abused to infer user activity from filenames and change times, even without access to file contents. An attack requires malicious software running on the device and local access; the research says there is currently no evidence of attacks exploiting the vulnerability.
