AI IQ is here: a new site scores frontier AI models on the human IQ scale. The results are already dividing tech.
For decades, the IQ test has been one of the most familiar — and most contested — yardsticks for human intelligence. Now, a startup project called AI IQ is applying the same metaphor to artificial intelligence, assigning estimated intelligence quotients to more than 50 of the world's most powerful language models and plotting them on a standard bell curve. The result is a set of interactive visualizations at aiiq.org that have ricocheted across social media in the past week, drawing praise from enterprise technologists who say the charts make an impossibly complex market legible — and sharp cr

Anthropic reinstates OpenClaw and third-party agent usage on Claude subscriptions — with a catch
Good news, OpenClaw fans — you can once again use your Claude AI subscription to power the hit, open source, autonomous AI agentic harness! But, there's a big catch with how it's being enacted. A few hours ago, Anthropic announced via its official developer communications account on X, @ClaudeDevs , that it is changing its Claude paid subscription tiers, introducing a new subcategory of "Agent SDK" credits for all paid subscribers, which they can now allocate specifically for "programmatic" uses, including external, third-party agents such as OpenClaw. The move is a major reversal from the Ant

Anthropic finally beat OpenAI in business AI adoption — but 3 big threats could erase its lead
For the first time since the AI race began, more American businesses are paying for Anthropic's Claude than for OpenAI's ChatGPT. Adoption of Anthropic rose 3.8% in April to 34.4% of businesses , according to the May 2026 release of the Ramp AI Index . OpenAI's adoption fell 2.9% to 32.3%. Overall AI adoption among businesses rose 0.2 percentage points to 50.6%. The crossover — published Tuesday by Ramp , the corporate card and finance automation platform that tracks spending patterns across more than 50,000 U.S. businesses — marks the culmination of a yearlong surge by Anthropic that few in t

Frontier AI models don't just delete document content — they rewrite it, and the errors are nearly impossible to catch
As large language models become more capable, users are tempted to delegate knowledge tasks where models process documents on their behalf and provide the finished results. But how far can you trust the model to stay faithful to the content of your documents when it has to iterate over them across multiple rounds? A new study by researchers at Microsoft shows that large language models silently corrupt documents that they work on by introducing errors. The researchers developed a benchmark that simulates multi-step autonomous workflows across 52 professional domains, using a method that automa

Protect your enterprise now from the Shai-Hulud worm and npm vulnerability in 6 actionable steps
Any development environment that installed or imported one of the 172 compromised npm or PyPI packages published since May 11 should be treated as potentially compromised. On affected developer workstations, the worm harvests credentials from over 100 file paths : AWS keys, SSH private keys, npm tokens, GitHub PATs, HashiCorp Vault tokens, Kubernetes service accounts, Docker configs, shell history, and cryptocurrency wallets. For the first time in a TeamPCP campaign, it targets password managers including 1Password and Bitwarden, according to SecurityWeek . It steals Claude and Kiro AI agent c

Perceptron Mk1 shocks with highly performant video analysis AI model 80-90% cheaper than Anthropic, OpenAI & Google
AI that can see and understand what's happening in a video — especially a live feed — is understandably an attractive product to lots of enterprises and organizations. Beyond acting as a security "watchdog" over sites and facilities, such an AI model could also be used to clip out the most exciting parts of marketing videos and repurpose them for social, identify inconsistencies and gaffs in videos and flag them for removal, and identify body language and actions of participants in controlled studies or candidates applying for new roles. While there are some AI models that offer this type of f

Running Claude Code or Claude in Chrome? Here's the audit matrix for every blind spot your security stack misses
Between May 6 and 7, four security research teams published findings about Anthropic’s Claude that most outlets covered as three separate stories. One involved a water utility in Mexico, another targeted a Chrome extension, and a third hijacked OAuth tokens through Claude Code. In one case, Claude identified a water utility’s SCADA gateway without being told to look for one. These are not three bugs. They are one architectural question playing out on three surfaces. No single patch released so far addresses all of them. The common thread is the confused deputy , a trust-boundary failure where
