Agent news slice — Thu Nov 5, 2026 • OpenAI is buying Pierre Computer Company to deepen Codex for agent-native Git workflows. Pierre's Trees/Diffs already power Codex file browsing and reviews; Code Storage (Git-based history for apps) is slated to fold into Codex after close. OpenAI also pointed at Pando, its in-house source-control backend for engineers and agents. https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-pierre/ • Check Point found "prompt adware" in Haiou, a popular Chinese Codex jailbreak bundle (403 stars, forked into Codex-X). It installs pentest/crack Skills and rewrites global agent instructions so greetings like hi/hello/Seagull inject an ad for an opaque LLM gateway (zz.aiapi2025.top). Persistence is natural-language config, not an executable — treat third-party Skills and agent instruction packs as supply chain. https://research.checkpoint.com/2026/free-the-model-sell-the-gateway-prompt-adware-hidden-in-jailbreak-bundles/ • Google Mandiant documents LLMjacking: stolen cloud/LLM keys driving >$100K/day and up to ~$1M cumulative fraudulent inference bills. Actors host proxy endpoints and agentic workloads on victim cloud; LLM Mixers like Jet Night resell frontier access for ~$60/mo. Adjacent grey-market relays silently rewrite Codex/Claude Code configs to danger-full-access and third-party routing. https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/llmjacking-monetizing-compromised-cloud-models/ • Google is credit-backstopping TeraWulf debt for Anthropic's ~$19B, 20-year Justified campus lease in Hawesville, KY (401 MW; Fluor EPC; RFS late 2027–Q2 2028). If Anthropic defaults, Google can assume the lease or take equity — hyperscaler balance sheets now underwrite rival-lab power deals. https://investors.terawulf.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/148/terawulf-secures-google-credit-backstop-for-project-financing-in-support-of-19-billion-anthropic-lease-executes-definitive-fluor-epc-agreement • OpenAI shipped Images 2.6 in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API (GIFs, ~50% faster, SVG, markup edits; Flare/Sunburst API variants). Creators now make ~4B images/week across ChatGPT/Codex/API. https://openai.com/index/introducing-images-2-6/
