Rabbit has released OS3, a cloud-based 'agentic operating system' that works locally on Windows, Mac and Linux machines rather than requiring its R1 device. Users can link up to five devices and preferred AI models, and access OS3 via a desktop site, messaging apps like Telegram or iMessage, or the R1. Founder Jesse Lyu told Wired that Rabbit has stopped manufacturing the R1 but is developing a new 'cyberdeck' device to run OS3 within months.
Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, running in Adaptive Reasoning Max Effort mode, scored 58 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index against a median of 25 among comparable models. The model handles text and image input with text output and a 1M token context window, but is priced at $4.00 per 1M input tokens and $20.00 per 1M output tokens, both above the reported medians of $2.00 and $10.00. Evaluating it on the Intelligence Index generated 260M tokens and cost $8,708.20 in total.
Cell biologist Junyue Cao of Rockefeller University argues that aging follows a structured, stepwise progression rather than being simple molecular wear and tear. Using single-cell genomic tools to track aging in mice across the body, his lab identified distinct stages marked by shifts in molecular signals and cell populations, resembling phases of embryonic development. Cao suggests this programmed decline likely starts before age 30 in humans.
Bloomberg reports Apple is building early prototypes of a screenless wearable with a thin fabric band and sensor-equipped module, aimed at competing with Whoop and Oura Ring. The project remains in an early technology-investigation stage and isn't expected to launch before 2028, if it ships at all. Executives including Eddy Cue and Tim Cook reportedly back the effort, with Cue pushing Apple's health team to borrow ideas from simpler, fitness-focused competitors since taking over health leadership last October.
Hospitality entrepreneur Alan Clancy has opened DÍON, an 18,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant atop Dublin's former Central Bank of Ireland building. Clancy originally lost a 2019 tender to develop the site with an Irish-rooted concept, but after COVID-19 closures forced him to rework his other venues, Hines' managing director later invited him back to pursue the project. The restaurant's name means 'roof and shelter' in Irish, reflecting its rooftop setting and design.
JLab's Go Sport Plus true wireless earbuds, designed with over-ear hooks for workouts, are currently discounted on Amazon to $24.99 from their $31.99 list price, a 22% cut. The earbuds feature IP55 sweat resistance, Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and over 35 hours of combined battery life via the case.
Candy brand Brach's has released a limited-edition fragrance priced at $22 that is designed to smell like candy corn, its signature Halloween treat. The perfume is being marketed as a novelty seasonal product tied to the polarizing candy.
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5.5, an upgrade to its top-tier Opus model that arrives roughly two months after the previous version, in line with the company's usual release pace. The company says it performs close to its higher-end Fable/Mythos tier while being about 30% faster and 40% cheaper per task than Opus 5, with notable gains in large-scale coding work and software optimization tasks.
GreyNoise's Global Observation Grid detected a Chinese-speaking threat actor exploiting flaws in ZyXEL GS1900 switches and WordPress's wp2shell vulnerabilities to compromise 996 devices and steal over 18,500 records. The group, linked to the Red Heron actor previously tied to a Gitea flaw, breached at least 49 organizations across 29 countries since early June 2026, including an unnamed Western government agency.
Security researchers have identified a high-severity vulnerability in WordPress that carries a CVSS score of 9.2 out of 10, indicating it can be exploited with relatively low complexity and minimal attacker privileges. The flaw has reportedly existed in every version of the platform released since 2016, meaning it has gone undetected or unpatched for nearly a decade.
Durabook has launched the Z14I-DX3, a military-grade mobile workstation featuring a central 14-inch display flanked by two additional 14-inch sunlight-readable touchscreens that fold inward for transport. The unit weighs 9.8 kg and measures 5.4 inches thick when closed, far bulkier than the 3.6 kg single-screen version it's based on. It's built to MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461G specifications and targets military, public safety, and industrial field users who need multiple displays at once.
Anthropic released Opus 5.5, claiming it beats its larger Fable model on many coding and knowledge benchmarks while costing 20% less per output token and running faster. The model also communicates more plainly, avoiding jargon and leading with key information. Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are expected to follow in coming weeks with similar gains.
