1. OpenAI responds to critical cyber capabilities
OpenAI published its response to critical cyber capabilities. High-risk capability needs continuous evaluation, permission boundaries, and incident handling, not only model refusals.

2. Copilot code-review effort levels reach general availability
GitHub made Copilot code-review effort levels generally available. Reasoning depth should be considered with latency, cost, and change risk; security-sensitive changes still need human review.
