Last Week in Tech – Gemini 3.1 and Claude 4.6 Land, OpenAI's Agent Hire, and the Figure Fintech Breach
Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Your Monday catch-up, with a security lens. This week the model race sped up — Google ships Gemini 3.1 Pro, Anthropic ships Claude Sonnet 4.6, and OpenAI hires a star open-source developer to build personal agents. On the breach desk: fintech lender Figure is hit by the ShinyHunters crew (nearly a million customers), France's national bank-account registry is accessed via stolen credentials, and a PayPal software bug quietly exposes some users' data.
