Google reported the first known case of hackers using AI to discover and weaponize a zero-day vulnerability. OpenAI launched a $4B+ deployment company and acquired Tomoro. Apple plans Liquid Glass refinements for macOS 27, TikTok rolls out an ad-free tier in the UK, and Ben Thompson argues agentic inference will reshape compute.
