TechCrunch reports that on November 4 OpenAI said its GPT 5.6 Sol model scanned the Linux kernel and flagged 948 potential issues with patches prepared, and that it found 81 novel vulnerabilities in Firefox. OpenAI also announced a $1 billion initiative for security professionals protecting critical infrastructure such as power and water systems.

Meta introduced Spaces, a way to work with its Muse agents in focused conversations that appear in the sidebar. You describe an idea in chat and Muse builds a tracker, planner or project board, and Spaces can connect to third-party apps and update in the background, for example with price changes or savings progress. TechCrunch does not say which users can get it or what it costs. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the October earnings call that Muse agents had 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada.
