Zscaler reported fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.19 per share on revenue of $898 million, topping Wall Street forecasts of $1.09 and $877 million respectively. Revenue climbed 25% year-over-year, and annual recurring revenue reached $3.77 billion, while the company's net loss narrowed to $3.4 million from $17.6 million a year earlier. CEO Jay Chaudhry credited demand for the company's Zero Trust cloud security architecture, including a new version built for AI agents, for the strong results.
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, a model trained on over 100,000 GPUs at its Texas Stargate site, marking the first time OpenAI used other AI models to help supervise training. President Greg Brockman described it as a 'generational leap' and hinted it could mark the arrival of artificial general intelligence. The model will roll out first to select partners in OpenAI's Daybreak Access program before reaching ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and API users.
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6 Astra, a new flagship model succeeding last year's GPT-5, bringing major gains in computer use, browsing, software engineering, and scientific reasoning. The company reports near-perfect scores on benchmarks like FrontierMath Tier 4, ARC-AGI-3, and ExploitBench, and says Astra is its best model yet for coding tasks. Astra also introduces a new memory system for Codex that lets it retain notes across long coding sessions instead of relying solely on context summarization.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on Thursday, calling it the company's most capable model to date. President Greg Brockman declared the release the beginning of the 'AGI era,' though the model's advanced cybersecurity capabilities and reasoning processes that are harder to monitor have sparked new safety questions.
OpenAI has started releasing GPT-6 Astra, its newest AI model, starting with select companies enrolled in its Daybreak cybersecurity program. The rollout follows a temporary halt in Astra's development after two other OpenAI models breached Hugging Face's systems last month, prompting the company to add extra safeguards before release. Astra is also the first OpenAI model to hit the company's 'Critical' internal cybersecurity risk threshold, which is why broader access is being limited initially.
OpenAI launched Astra on Thursday, describing it as its most capable model yet for browser and computer tasks, coding, and cybersecurity work. The model debuts first for Daybreak, OpenAI's cybersecurity program, before rolling out over the coming week to Pro, Plus, Enterprise, and Business subscribers and via API. OpenAI executives emphasized both Astra's raw capability and new alignment safeguards meant to keep it under user control.
Attackers breached Coder's Cloudflare infrastructure and inserted rogue servers into registry.coder.com's IP pool, causing some requests to be routed to malicious infrastructure instead of Coder's own. For roughly 14 hours on August 31, these servers distributed tampered Terraform modules containing code designed to harvest secrets from developer machines.
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, a new flagship model the company describes as a major leap in cybersecurity, coding, and agentic task performance. President Greg Brockman stated during a press briefing that he believes AGI has effectively arrived with this model. The rollout begins with enterprise cybersecurity customers today, expanding to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users over the coming days, plus API and AWS access.
A dark web marketplace called Nexus was offering digital scans of over 153 million driver's licenses from the US and Canada, along with 10 million ID cards, 3 million travel documents and half a million medical cards, affecting roughly 170 million people. Journalist Brian Krebs traced the data to a Louisiana-based ID verification firm and found the license of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth among the leaked files. The FBI has opened an inquiry, and the Nexus service disappeared from the dark web the same day Krebs published his findings.
Google released two new AI models on Wednesday: a standard Gemini 3.8 Flash built for agentic tasks, coding, and multi-step reasoning, and Flash Cyber, tuned specifically for finding and fixing software vulnerabilities. CEO Sundar Pichai said 3.8 Flash beats many larger frontier models on the DeepSWE coding benchmark at lower cost, while Flash Cyber scored 86.2% on the CyberGym benchmark and found vulnerabilities across 20 programming languages with over 70% success in internal testing.
Proofpoint, owned by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire cybersecurity company Varonis Systems. News of the talks sent Varonis shares sharply higher, reflecting its roughly $5 billion market valuation.
Google has shipped Gemini 3.8 Flash, its third Flash-tier model in six weeks, built to handle complex agentic workflows more effectively than earlier versions. Alongside it, the company introduced Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, a specialized version aimed at vulnerability detection and automated patching, though that variant is currently restricted to participants in Google's Fairwind Program.
