Anthropic's senior staff are in Commerce Department crisis talks over the Fable 5/Mythos 5 export ban, while a fine-tuned model on Fable 5 reasoning traces has already spread widely. Salesforce is acquiring Fin (formerly Intercom) for $3.6B to strengthen its Agentforce AI customer service platform. A patched one-click data theft vulnerability (SearchLeak/CVE-2026-42824) in Microsoft 365 Copilot chained prompt injection, an HTML sanitizer race condition, and a Bing SSRF. Notable items include Zhipu's GLM-5.2 open-source release, active exploitation of a Langflow RCE, Cohere's North Mini Code model, and new AI agent identity startup NewCore raising $66M. ## Content **TLDR:** OpenAI's audited financials show a $38.5 billion net loss in 2025, up from $5 billion the year before, with $17.2 billion paid to Microsoft alone. The Fable 5 situation is still moving: Anthropic's senior technical staff are in Commerce Department meetings today, 100+ cybersecurity experts have signed an open letter calling the ban counterproductive, and a gemma-4-12B fine-tuned on Fable 5 reasoning traces has already been downloaded 20K+ times. Separately, Salesforce is acquiring Fin (formerly Intercom) for $3.6 billion to bolster Agentforce, and a critical one-click data theft vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot has been patched. --- ## OpenAI lost $38.5B in 2025, paid Microsoft $17.2B Audited financials verified by the Financial Times show OpenAI's net loss grew nearly 8x year-over-year, from $5.09B in 2024 to $38.5B in 2025. Total costs hit $34B, driven by $19.18B in R&D and $7.5B in cost of revenue. Microsoft received $17.2B in total expenses, with $10.59B attributed to R&D — almost certainly model training costs. A $41.55B charge tied to the nonprofit-to-for-profit conversion pushed the gross loss to $60.35B before adjustments. The company held just over $50B in assets at year-end, roughly half in cash.

The ban was triggered after Amazon researchers flagged a jailbreak — but multiple security researchers, including Katie Moussouris, have reviewed the underlying research and called the bypass trivial, arguing it should never have triggered export controls. Over 100 cybersecurity experts have signed an open letter saying the ban disarms defenders while adversaries use open-source alternatives. Prediction markets put 68-71% odds on the ban reversing before July 1. Meanwhile, a gemma-4-12B model fine-tuned on Fable 5 reasoning traces has been downloaded 20K+ times — the API is dead but the knowledge is already in the wild.

Fin's AI agent resolves 76% of customer queries without human intervention using its proprietary Apex model, and brings 30,000+ business customers. The deal gives Salesforce a fast-deploy packaged support agent alongside its customizable Agentforce platform, and reduces reliance on OpenAI and Anthropic for model access. Expected to close in Q4 of Salesforce's fiscal 2027.

The attack chains a prompt injection via the search query parameter, an HTML sanitizer race condition, and a Bing SSRF that bypasses Content Security Policy. Microsoft patched it server-side — no user action required. This is the second similar Varonis disclosure against Copilot, following the Reprompt attack, and mirrors the zero-click EchoLeak vulnerability.
