Byl vydán Debian 13.6, tj. šestá opravná verze Debianu 13 s kódovým názvem Trixie a Debian 12.15, tj. poslední patnáctá opravná verze Debianu 12 s kódovým názvem Bookworm, k dispozici je LTS. Řešeny jsou především bezpečnostní problémy, ale také několik vážných chyb. Instalační média Debianu 13 a Debianu 12 lze samozřejmě nadále k instalaci používat. Po instalaci stačí systém aktualizovat.

Khosla-Backed Startup Claims Breakthrough With Largest-Ever AI Model on an iPhoneAaron Tilley | The Information ($)

“The largest AI models, which can measure in the trillions of parameters, are still far too big to run on mobile devices. But the model PrismML has working on an iPhone is capable of tasks like complex chat, reasoning, fully autonomous agents and software coding, the startup said.”

Humanoid Robots Controlled by Surgeons Did World-First Operation on Live PigsJeremy Hsu | Ars Technica

“Humanoid robots have surgically removed the gallbladders from living animals in an unprecedented medical experiment—but not as autonomous machines capable of replacing human doctors. Instead, skilled human surgeons remotely controlled the robots’ movements in a new example of human-robot teamups.”

Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX Are Bigger Than the Last 25 Years of Tech ExitsRussell Brandom | TechCrunch

“SpaceX has already gone public at a $1.77 trillion valuation, and with both Anthropic and OpenAI pushing into the trillions it’s likely the trio together will land somewhere north of $4 trillion. By comparison, the US Securities and Exchange Commission counted just $70 billion in US-based IPO proceeds last year.”

UN Secretary-General Seeks Ban on AI WeaponsTom Chivers | Semafor

“The UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for a ban on ‘killer robots,’ saying the decision to take life ‘must remain forever human.’ …Guterres called AI-controlled weapons ‘morally repugnant,’ although not all ethicists agree: One roboticist argues they are more discriminate in their killing than scared human soldiers, while a philosopher said in 2022 that using robots will prevent young men and women bearing ‘the moral burden’ of wars.”

font-family:Wingdings;}<br><br>--&gt;<br>Apple surprised the tech industry after financial markets closed Friday with news the company has sued OpenAI, alleging theft of trade secrets for ChatGPT hardware. The lawsuit particularly targets some senior ex-Apple employees now working at OpenAI.

Apple’s suit names two former employees — Chang Liu and Tang Tan, former vice president for product design, iPhone and Apple Watch — as well as OpenAI and that company’s recently-acquired firm, io Products, alleging “trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract.” 

Jony Ive, who sold io Products to OpenAI, is not named in the lawsuit, though it seems relevant that Tan was one of the senior ex-Apple executives who founded that company.

For its part, OpenAI issued a brief statement in response to the litigation. “We have no interest in other companies’ trade secrets,” the company said. “We remain focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.”

The allegations against Tan

Some of the claims and allegations included in Apple’s lawsuit include:

• That in the months before leaving Apple, Tan met with OpenAI or its collaborators and discussed meetings with a key Apple supplier.
• He emailed himself information about suppliers and internal summaries.
• When interviewing former Apple staffers for jobs, he used confidential information, such as internal project code names, to gain even more knowledge.
• He asked candidates to bring actual parts from Apple to interviews to discuss — and a then-Apple employee screenshotted and downloaded files concerning a highly confidential Apple project before attending an OpenAI recruitment session.
• Tan asked Apple employees to bring CAD/design artifacts to their interviews.
• Tan allegedly instructed new hires on how to avoid scrutiny when leaving Apple, such as instructing them not to tell the company they had taken jobs at OpenAI.

The ‘so funny’ laptop bug

The lawsuit also claimed that after quitting Apple for OpenAI in January 2026, Chang Liu managed to keep or “otherwise acquire” an Apple-issued notebook which he used to access confidential data on the company’s private network while at OpenAI. “LOL, I found out I can access the [server], so funny,” Liu texted a friend still working at Apple.

The suit alleges that he made no effort to report the situation, which was a bug in the system he had uncovered. Apple eventually discovered the exfiltration was taking place and took steps to prevent it, but Liu allegedly downloaded more than 1,000 pages of data, including “confidential technical presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, and written work product,” Apple said.

“Only OpenAI and Mr. Liu know all the ways they have been exploiting the trove of Apple confidential information he stole, and to the extent they have not concealed or destroyed the evidence of these misappropriations, it will be investigated thoroughly in discovery.” 

Apple’s lawsuit also alleges Liu was simultaneously coaching a current Apple employee named Alyssa Peng on how to copy files from Apple workstations without triggering the security team, asking her to get specific confidential information and using Apple’s stolen data to help her get ready for an eventual OpenAI interview.

Why this could get bigger

There’s much in the litigation that it will garner serious international attention as it unfolds. Apple’s argues that a competitor with access to so much of its own proprietary information could “bypass years of independent research and development, skip the capital expenditure required to build genuine expertise, and bring products to market faster and at lower cost, harming the value of Apple’s investments.”

It’s not just the secrets behind actively-used processes Apple is protecting; the company is also asserting its rights to regain control of information it has assembled over time concerning processes and manufacturing attempts that have failed. That’s understandable – you can invest a lot of money in finding out what doesn’t work and knowing that is a trade secret in itself. 

“OpenAI coaches candidates to prepare for their interviews by studying Apple’s confidential engineering documentation, internal presentations, and proprietary technical materials,” the litigation claims. “OpenAI then uses its insider Apple information to ask detailed questions to extract more: about Apple’s proprietary tools, vendor management processes, engineering methodologies, manufacturing workflows, and supplier relationships, for example.

“OpenAI has turned to trade secret misappropriation to free-ride off Apple’s decades of innovation,” Apple said. “This is the tip of the iceberg.” 

The lawsuit also confirms that Apple often designs and customizes the specialized machinery used in its suppliers’ factories, and that trade secrets concerning those efforts have been grabbed. The suit notes that OpenAI works with established Apple suppliers Foxconn, Luxshare, and Goertek on its own hardware.

If true, these allegations go right to the top of OpenAI’s hardware development plans. Tan is now OpenAI’s Chief Hardware Officer.

The lawsuit points out that OpenAI now employs more than 400 Apple engineers and executives (including the company’s former Vision Pro Vice President), suggesting its entire approach to hardware recruitment is based on extracting Apple’s proprietary knowledge from potential hires. 

“Apple lacks visibility into what’s been happening behind closed doors at OpenAI, where such misconduct is normalized and exemplified by leadership,” the lawsuit argues. “This much is clear, however: at every level, from members of its Technical Staff to its Chief Hardware Officer, and in coordination with business partners, OpenAI has been stealing Apple’s trade secrets and confidential information. As a natural result, OpenAI’s nascent hardware business now rests on the shakiest of foundations, rotten to its core by its illegal reliance on misappropriated trade secrets.”
