Get smart on it
OpenAI released data tracking how people use ChatGPT for work across nearly 100 countries, covering 165 different work activities from Q1 2025 through Q3 2026. The data shows significant variation in how different countries use ChatGPT for work tasks, and researchers can use it to study AI's role in the economy by connecting ChatGPT usage patterns to standardized work activity categories. Analysis of the data reveals that work-related use of ChatGPT has become less concentrated in the most common activities over time, with countries specializing in different types of work. Researchers can explore these patterns, compare ChatGPT usage with actual economic activity, and investigate what these trends mean for workers and businesses.

Anthropic Launches OSS Scanner, a Free AI Vulnerability Scanner
Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free, opt-in vulnerability scanner for critical open-source projects. The Anthropic OSS Scanner runs the company’s strongest models, including Claude Mythos, against enrolled codebases. Reports go straight to maintainers without human review. That trade delivers faster findings, but shifts triage work onto project teams. 11 days after the October 8 launch, Anthropic reported 77 critical and 803 high model-rated findings. TL;DR Scale: 114 projec
OpenMobile-2 proves open-source smartphone agents can rival proprietary models
Smartphone agents don't get better by processing more data. They improve by training on as many different apps as possible. The researchers behind OpenMobile-2 built an open training environment with more than 110 applications, including 35 replicas of popular apps. On real Android devices, their model scores highest among open agents, the authors say.
