    OpenAI accelerates push for about $30 billion in financing

    OpenAI is accelerating its push for about $30 billion in financing. According to Reuters, OpenAI is aiming to complete this funding round at a valuation of more than $1.4 trillion before Anthropic goes public, a valuation at least 64% higher than the $852 billion it reached in March. OpenAI hopes to lock in commitments before Anthropic files its S-1 and lists in mid-November, so as to avoid a direct comparison. Subsequent reports said existing investors such as SoftBank and Abu Dhabi's MGX are in talks to participate; OpenAI told investors that growth accelerated after the release of GPT-6 Astra, with annualized revenue already reaching $50 billion and expected to rise to $70 billion by the end of the year. The financing is still in progress.

    Daytona Completes $60 Million Series B Funding Round

    Daytona, which provides cloud infrastructure for AI agents, has completed a $60 million Series B funding round. According to a Tech.eu report on October 20, 2026, the round was led by FirstMark, valuing the company at $1 billion, with cumulative funding reaching $91 million. Its platform provides isolated Linux, Windows, and macOS computing environments for agents through a single API, supporting task pausing, resuming, and continued exploration, with customers including Anthropic, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Cursor, and Cognition. The company says its revenue run rate grew 25-fold from January to September, and the new funds will be used to expand its agent cloud platform, scale up computing capacity, and hire in San Francisco, Croatia, and Singapore. There are currently no subsequent developments.

    Altman reportedly presents three paths to safe AI to employees

    According to a report by The Information citing people familiar with the matter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman last week internally presented employees with three paths for AI safety: first, establishing a regulatory body modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); second, a lab merger proposal known as the Demis Plan; and third, a single-developer compute monopoly proposal known as the Eliezer Plan. The report also said Altman complained that there are too few proposals for slowing down AI development, while stating that OpenAI cannot afford to fall behind in the competition, and that he plans to decide on an IPO path within a year. The report mentioned that the United States currently relies on voluntary pre-review of new models, and in June imposed export controls on Anthropic on the grounds that the Fable model posed a jailbreak risk. At present, this claim comes only from the single report above, and there have been no subsequent developments with supporting evidence.

    Metis Reasoning is founded in London, focusing on a compute-efficient AI approach

    On October 20, 2026, the London-based AI company Metis Reasoning was officially established and launched, focusing on a compute-efficient reasoning approach as it seeks a direction distinct from the frontier models of Anthropic and OpenAI. According to Tech.eu, the company was co-founded by Thore Graepel, former head of research at Google DeepMind and co-creator of AlphaGo, and has a team of 12 people spanning researchers, mathematicians, robotics experts and technology entrepreneurs. The company believes that LLMs have fundamental limitations in reasoning, with results that are difficult to verify and lacking an audit trail; it says its approach is more verifiable, more robust and safer, and that it has already achieved some positive results on frontier reasoning problems at a cost far below that of frontier models. The report says its initial funding is believed to be in the tens of millions of dollars, but Metis has not yet announced a release date for its first AI model.

    OpenCode discloses distillation attack affecting 1.4% of console users

    OpenCode disclosed that a security incident related to a large-scale distillation attack occurred the previous night, affecting 1.4% of OpenCode Console users—specifically those who had linked external service providers. The company notified all affected users by email on the morning of the 18th; those who did not receive an email are not affected. The incident is still being handled, and OpenCode said it is working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate it. The same day, Nathan Lambert raised doubts, arguing that it is strange to lump a cyberattack that stole API keys together with a "model transfer station" under the name "distillation," and that it is unclear how this relates to model training. Subsequently, Anthropic's Lydia Hallie said the team is working with OpenCode to handle the leak incident, has revoked the Claude API keys it believes were affected, and recommends that users who previously saved keys in OpenCode create new keys.
