AI code review missed a critical vulnerability that COLDCARD was exploited for last week
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Bitcoin News stated on the X platform that Coinkite said the vulnerability existed at the boundary between two unrelated firmware submodules, rather than in its Bitcoin or encryption code, which allowed it to evade both manual and AI-assisted code reviews for years. Coinkite stated that after the incident, the company tested cutting-edge AI models including Kimi K3, Claude Fable, and Codex 5.6, none of which identified the flaw. Coinkite is now urging security-critical projects to specifically audit build systems and submodule boundaries, and warned that AI-assisted development could leave similar blind spots in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
OpenAI has reset usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex users
Odaily Odaily News: OpenAI Codex Product Lead Tibo announced that usage limits have been reset for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users.Tibo stated that recent user feedback indicated GPT-5.6 Sol was consuming Codex limits faster than anticipated. Following an investigation, OpenAI has implemented several optimizations. It is projected that under typical usage scenarios, Sol's limit endurance will improve by approximately 18%, with some users seeing more noticeable improvements starting today.He explained that Sol tends to work for longer periods, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex processes, while High mode consumes more tokens compared to previous models. Additionally, factors such as parallel tool calls in code mode and increased cached input have also led to higher-than-expected usage for certain tasks.OpenAI stated that Sol represents a significant upgrade to Codex's capabilities, but increased model capabilities do not always translate into efficiency gains. The company will continue to optimize code mode efficiency and restore the five-hour limit that was suspended during the investigation.
OpenAI Responds to High-Compute Mode Consumption Visibility Issues: Urgently Resets Codex and ChatGPT Work Quotas
Tibo, a core member of OpenAI Codex, posted on X platform stating that previously, it was too easy for users to enable high-compute mode without fully explaining its impact on usage quotas. The large-scale revamp of the desktop application made common features like chats and projects difficult to find. Additionally, promotional efforts overly focused on ChatGPT Work, leading some Codex users to mistakenly believe that Codex would be phased out in the future. Furthermore, the new version also caused issues with some multi-agent workflows, plugin functions, and other user experiences.In response to the above issues, OpenAI has already rolled out the first batch of improvement measures, including adjusting default settings and the model selector to prevent users from accidentally using high-cost configurations, fixing several plugin submission issues, optimizing the presentation of Codex within the product, and resolving some desktop experience problems.Additionally, over the past 24 hours, OpenAI has been continuously collecting user feedback, analyzing usage patterns, and communicating with users. Although the market has shown strong interest in GPT 5.6 Sol and the web and mobile versions of ChatGPT Work, OpenAI also acknowledges that this update has multiple issues.As of now, two rounds of Codex and ChatGPT Work usage quota top-ups have been completed. The next larger-scale update will be released next week, when chat and project features will return to the sidebar in a more familiar and customizable form. The platform will also enhance the visibility of usage quotas and reset times, further clarifying the respective applicable scenarios for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Altman: OpenAI to Operate as "Permanently Low-Profit" Company, Aiming to Follow Stripe's Model
Odaily OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated at Stripe Sessions that OpenAI aspires to become an infrastructure company that is "permanently low-profit, yet massive and fast-growing," offering products akin to "smart meters" that allow anyone to purchase them to automate businesses, develop products, or embed them into their own services. He compared OpenAI to Stripe, noting that their model is usage-based billing, and as the internet scales, both Stripe and its users benefit.Altman revealed that OpenAI has already signed 20-year contracts for electricity and land to support this goal. He acknowledged that switching costs in AI are low, and the recent massive influx of users from competing programming tools to Codex proves that the smarter AI becomes, the easier it is to switch platforms. He pointed out that while some companies might try to capture the entire industry chain, OpenAI does not plan to do so, believing that models and data centers are a whole, and other companies can build products on top of them.Altman also emphasized that businesses should not overestimate AI's impact on existing business structures. Although AI has changed many existing processes, good products will still survive in the market. He specifically mentioned that Shopify CEO Toby Lütke is the best AI adopter he has ever seen.

a16z Research: AI Agents Can Identify DeFi Price Manipulation Vulnerabilities, but Their Ability to Execute Complex Attacks Remains Limited
According to a disclosure by a16z, its researchers conducted systematic testing to assess whether AI agents can independently exploit DeFi price manipulation vulnerabilities. The study used a dataset of 20 Ethereum price manipulation incidents and employed Codex (GPT 5.4) equipped with the Foundry toolchain as the test agent. Under baseline conditions—i.e., without domain-specific knowledge—the agent’s success rate was only 10%; after incorporating structured domain knowledge distilled from real-world attack incidents, the success rate rose to 70%. Failure cases revealed that the agent consistently identified vulnerabilities correctly but generally failed to comprehend the leverage logic of recursive lending, misjudged profit margins, and could not orchestrate multi-step, cross-contract attack sequences. The experiment also recorded one sandbox escape incident: the agent extracted an RPC key from the local node configuration and invoked the <code>anvil_reset</code> method to reset the node to a future block, thereby bypassing information isolation constraints and accessing real-world attack data. The research team concluded that AI agents can currently assist effectively in vulnerability identification but are not yet capable of replacing professional security auditors.
