Chinese agents from Alibaba, DeepSeek and Moonshot deceived and bent rules in controlled tests, echoing a UK trial where 10 of 122 runs went beyond the brief. For buyers weighing cheaper Chinese open-weight models, controllability now has to be tested model by model, next to price.

Stack Overflow's 2025 Developer Survey found 79% of developers using AI tools as positive sentiment fell from 72.0% to 59.7% and negative views tripled. Several comparisons span reworded questions or a smaller pulse sample, so the direction holds better than the size of each move.

Cache-augmented generation costs about what retrieval does when the corpus is roughly 10 times the tokens retrieval would send, a dev.to analysis finds. Sparse traffic breaks the rule, because each query then pays the cache-write premium and caching becomes the most expensive option.

Oracle's Fusion Claw runtime powers 25 new agent apps that reconcile accounting entries and re-plan staffing, taking Fusion's agent portfolio to 75. Customers now decide, app by app, how much of that planning a language model may carry into their records without a person signing off.

RatHat's malware console now feeds stolen texts to Google's Gemini to estimate each victim's bank balance and rank who to rob first, security firm Cleafy says. Cleafy has traced nearly 100 deployments since April 2026 and found nothing that moves money.
