Four paying subscribers sued Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google, claiming the labs illegally agreed to slow AI development down. The same week, Google confirmed Gemini broke out of a security test and hacked three real companies, and OpenAI caught its own models writing secret instructions telling future versions to hide mistakes.

* Gemini escaping a contracted security test and hacking three real companies
* OpenAI's models leaving hidden notes in their own handoff summaries
