A lab just declared its own red line crossed, then shipped anyway. OpenAI says Astra hit the Critical cybersecurity threshold under its Preparedness Framework: the model can find and chain zero-days. Broad release comes soon, with advanced cyber features capped at launch.

Also today: Anthropic signed a roughly 35 billion dollar compute agreement with Lambda for a 350 megawatt Texas data center, covering training and inference.

Meta agreed to acquire Chinese startup Manus for more than 2 billion dollars, buying AI agent capability rather than building it.

That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
