## Resource

In this episode, we dig into Tencent's new open source Hy4 Preview, a mixture of experts model with Apache 2.0 licensing and cheap inference that directly challenges closed American APIs and rival Chinese releases. We break down a security researcher's indirect prompt injection attack that hijacked Claude Code's Auto Mode through a malicious website, and why OS level sandboxing matters more than model guardrails. We also cover a federal judge striking down the Pentagon's blacklist of Anthropic, a ruling that lets AI labs set usage boundaries without losing the federal market, plus Anthropic's new Model Hardware Standard aimed at letting AI agents safely operate lab instruments, robots, and industrial machines. From Tencent to Anthropic, we explore what these open model, AI agent, and AI security shifts mean for developers and enterprises. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tencent, Anthropic, the Pentagon, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
