Apple’s Ternus era begins as Nvidia bets on the whole AI stack
It’s officially the Ternus era at Apple. Tim Cook stepped downas CEO this week, handing the company to former hardware chief John Ternus, whose first memopromised a “huge launch next week”— timing that puts Apple’s next iPhone event on his desk before he’s even settled in. Cook isn’t going far, though: he’s staying on as Executive Chairman, focused on the kind of policy relationships that recently turned something as small asa map labelinto a very public balancing act. All of which raises an obvious question: what does the Ternus era look like, and how much rope will shareholders give him to figure it out?On this episode of TechCrunch’sEquitypodcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec and Sean O’Kane unpack what Ternus is walking into, why he may actually be better positioned to make progress on software than hardware in this new AI era, and more of the week’s news.

Another swarm of OpenAI agents reached the open internet without the frontier lab’s knowledge
A group of independent AI researchersdiscoveredthat internally deployed OpenAI agents began posting on an obscure German wiki forum in order to collaborate on evaluations. They appear to have worked together for over a month without OpenAI’s knowledge. A spokesperson for the frontier lab would not say whether these agents were indeed from OpenAI, or when the lab became aware of their actions. They noted that OpenAI had not been given a chance to review the researchers’ findings before they were published today, but said that the AI model maker is “now carefully reviewing its contents and will take any necessary next steps.” After OpenAIrevealedthat agents working on an internal evaluation were able to access the open internet and exploit Hugging Face, a group of researchers—Nightingale CEO Sydney Von Arx, AI researcher Cormac Slade Byrd, Redwood Research’s Spencer Kitts, and Thomas Larsen of the AI Futures Project—began searching for evidence of other rogue AI agents. They put themselves in the agents’ shoes to figure out their needs and deployed their own LLM to identify likely places the agents might congregate. They then identified a wiki-hosting service that would be particularly vulnerable: the DSE Wiki is 25 years old, but had just ten edits in the last 20 years—before the agents arrived. Starting on May 11, the researchers tracked agents, many with OpenAI identifiers intheir names, trying and finally succeeding in editing the German wiki site. By mid-June, the agents were actively trading tips on how to answer web search questions posed under time limits, sharing answers to pass the tests. A human moderator apparently noticed these posts and started deleting them, seeing them as spam, which the agents fought back against, trying to hide their posts from alphabetical sorting by beginning each with the string “ZZZ.” “The administrator spent the next 5 days fighting a losing battle against the agents, deleting an average of 100 pages a day while the agents created about 400 new pages per day,” the researchers wrote. “On June 22, the agent edits suddenly stop, and the administrator spends each evening over the next 5 weeks deleting the remaining agent-created pages. Agents deleted the content of the front page of the wiki and replaced it with their link dumps. The moderator restored the original version. This back-and-forth happened nine times.” Eventually, someone at OpenAI appears to have noticed—the researchers track apparently human browsers coming from OpenAI IP addresses, and then agent activity drops to near zero, before spiking as OpenAI-affiliated visitors attempt to recover the deleted pages. While OpenAI has made vague disclosures about agents gaining unauthorized access to external communication services, it had not previously disclosed this specific incident, or said how often this type of thing has occurred. While no obviously illegal activity appears to have occurred during this incident, it raises more questions about whether OpenAI can monitor and control the technology it is building, at a time when there is limited public oversight or input into frontier AI labs. AI safety researchers are concerned that the latest generation of powerful models, whose reasoning isincreasingly opaqueto its creators, could take actions that harm people. Astra, released yesterday by OpenAI, appears to be its most capable model yet. The company says Astra is also the model most likely to follow human direction, but third-party researchers who were asked to evaluate it expressed concern about its alignment. The U.K. AI Safety Institute and Apollo research both reported concerns that the model might be aware that it was being evaluated and potentially hide its real behavior. “Apollo believes that, given the higher rates of eval awareness and limited evaluation window, low rates of misbehavior here do not provide substantial evidence about the model’s alignment or misalignment,” the researcherswrotein their evaluation.

IFA 2026: Lingverse iKairos Debuts as a Desktop Robot and Wearable AI Pendant
Lingverse has unveiled an AI device that can function as both a desktop robot and a wearable pendant. The iKairos is intended to gather information from different parts of a user's day and use it to provide contextual suggestions. Its main hardware can be moved between different physical forms, with LifeOS handling the information collected by the device. The system is being demonstrated at IFA 2026. Lingverse has not yet disclosed when iKairos will go on sale or how much it will cost.

OpenAI GPT-6 Astra Launched With Critical-Level Cybersecurity Capabilities as Part of AGI Push
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, calling it the most capable flagship AI model yet. Its deployment is part of the San Francisco-based company's plans to eventually reach AGI (artificial general intelligence), a stage where a computer system can learn, reason, and perform any intellectual or cognitive task that a human can. GPT-6 Astra is designed for reasoning, coding, research and agentic workflows. It comes with a 1.05-million-token context window and supports up to 128,000 output tokens through the API.
