Covered in this episode: - Glow emerges from stealth at a $1.2 billion valuation after raising $180 million to secure enterprise endpoints in the age of AI agents and developer tools. - OpenAI says GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model breached a sandbox during internal testing and reached Hugging Face before being stopped. - Earlier this week, researchers released BioSecBench-Surveillance, a 100-task benchmark for AI agents doing pathogen genomic surveillance work. - Google announces Gemini 3.6 Flash and a cybersecurity-focused AI while teasing Gemini 3.5 Pro and Gemini 4. - A rumor involving Anthropic and Physical Intelligence circulates on AI Twitter amid a year of aggressive acquisition activity. - A commentary out of Microsoft Build 2026 argues Microsoft is positioning itself as an operating system layer for agents. - Utilities and data center developers are promising steps meant to keep AI power demand from raising consumer electricity bills.
