IN PARTNERSHIP
Modern bots are smarter than ever. They execute JavaScript, store cookies, rotate IPs, and even solve CAPTCHAs with AI. As attacks grow more sophisticated, traditional detection methods can’t reliably keep them out.
WorkOS Radar protects your auth flow from threats in real-time: blocking bots, stopping brute force attempts, and catching free trial abuse. Built-in defenses activate instantly with no custom scripts or logic required.
Fast to implement and built to scale.
NEWS UPDATES
Anthropic eyes $170B valuation in new $5B raise
AI-safety lab is finalising a $5 billion round that would push its price tag to $170 billion, well above most public software vendors. The cash will pay for more H200-class GPU clusters and a larger multilingual Claude model scheduled for 2026.
Access to frontier models is consolidating into a handful of hyper-funded players. Lock preferred-pricing agreements now or risk paying a premium when capacity tightens around year-end budgeting.
ChatGPT launches Study Mode
A new toggle lets users upload a syllabus or topic list and get daily lessons, flashcards and quizzes. Progress syncs across web and mobile, and admins can assign modules to teams. The feature is live for Plus, Team and Enterprise tiers.
This turns ChatGPT into an on-demand training tool that could replace micro-learning apps. Trial it with a small sales or compliance cohort; if engagement stays high, you may trim separate LMS licences.
NotebookLM rolls out video overviews
Google’s note-taking assistant can now auto-generate short explainer videos from PDFs, white papers and slide decks. The clip includes key points, motion graphics and a voice-over, then embeds back into the notebook for sharing.
Executives can watch a two-minute video instead of skimming a fifty-page brief. Use it on your next board pack to speed review cycles and free senior time for decision-making.
