-An investigation didn't turn up any evidence that AI agents were using Wikimedia systems to coordinate their activity nor did the foundation detect signs of its data or systems being compromised.

-OpenAI is using a proprietary system called textGrain that "adds an invisible statistical signal to the model's word choices." Once added, a detector can spot these signals and ascertain if there's a watermark.

-Starting on October 9, you will no longer be able to access the Gemini Flash and Pro models if you're on a free account.
